Fula-Flex 2.0 Materials Guide

PLA

Recommended Bed Temperature: 70°C
Recommended Surface: Both!

Both the smooth PEI and the textured PEI excel at printing PLA. No special precautions need to be taken. The PEI grips the PLA while hot and releases them when cool!

PETG

Recommended Bed Temperature: 90°C
Recommended Surface: Textured PEI

When printing with PETG, we highly recommend using only the Textured PEI. PETG can chemically bond with PEI and cause the printer part to tear chunks out of the smooth PEI coating. If you do proceed with printing PETG on the smooth PEI, use a separation layer such as Windex or gluestick. These materials act as a divider, preventing the PETG from bonding to the build surface. However, you can print on the textured surface with no additional steps.

ABS / ASA

Recommended Bed Temperature: 110°C
Recommended Surface: Both

ABS is one of the tougher 3D printing materials to print with and is very susceptible to warping. We recommend printing in an enclosure for ABS. To maximize chances for success, print a very hot, very slow first layer, and make use of a brim.

TPU

Recommended Bed Temperature: 50°C
Recommended Surface: Textured PEI

TPU, like PETG, tends to bond with the smooth PEI sheet. We recommend printing TPU only on the Textured PEI. If you do print TPU on the Smooth PEI, use a separation layer such as glue stick or Windex to prevent the part from bonding and tearing out chunks from your PEI sheet.

Nylon

Recommended Bed Temperature: 90°C
Recommended Surface: Textured PEI

Nylon is a mechanically strong and durable material, great for practical prints. We highly recommend sticking to printing Nylon only on the Textured PEI sheet, as it tends to bond with the Smooth PEI, just like PETG and TPU. Printing on the Smooth PEI is possible with the use of a separation layer such as Windex or a Glue stick. These materials act as a divider between the Nylon and PEI, preventing them from bonding.
