  • Shiny white and natural in appearance
  • Sensitive to moisture, heat and micro-organisms

 

Applications:

  • Prototypes (visual and functional validation), models
  • Single-use or life-limited parts
  • Objects requiring biodegradability for use in the natural environment for agriculture, gardening and green spaces
  • Everyday objects, decoration
  • Any object aiming for a reduced environmental impact

 

Technical properties:

HOMECOMPOST-3D filament is ideal for 3D-printing in professional and domestic environments. Suitable for 3D printers with FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) technology with a heated bed.

Technical characteristics-ABS HOMECOMPOST-3D

Tips:

  • Ideal extrusion temperature of 170° without cooling or 180° with 100% cooling from the 2ndlayer
  • Respect melting temperature of 170°- 180° to avoid stringing
  • Use a printer with a direct-drive extruder to pull rather than push the material
