Hot Flow is our term for filament-based materials which are deposited at over 150°C, depending on the head.

Note that at present, our Hot Flow heads work with 1.75mm filament (actually, 1.6mm to 1.9mm), but not 3mm filament.

Materials for Warm Flow

The following materials can be printed from Hot Flow heads.

  • ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
    • Flame Retardant ABS
    • ABS - PC Alloy
    • Conductive ABS
  • BendLay
  • Flex 45
  • HIPS (High-Impact PolyStyrene)
  • LayBrick
  • LayWoo-d3
  • MoldLay
  • Ninjaflex
  • Nylon
    • Taulman 618, 645, 910
  • PC (PolyCarbnoate)
  • PEEK (PolyEther Ether Ketone)

Heads for Hot Flow

Hot Flow is available through the following heads:

The following table compares the properties of the various Hot Flow heads:

Hot Flow Head Properties
Head Min Temp Max Temp Filament Nozzles
MK1-250 150°C 250°C 1.75mm 0.50mm Standard
0.35mm, 0.75mm, 1.0mm Optional
MK2-250 150°C 250°C 1.75mm 0.50mm Standard
0.35mm, 0.75mm, 1.0mm Optional
[[MK1-450] 250°C 450°C* 1.75mm 0.50mm Standard
0.35mm, 0.75mm, 1.0mm Optional
*Note, the MK1-450 should either be used in the 250-350°C range, or the 350-450°C range.
