Glossary of 3D Printing Terms
[1] |
Abrasive Filament Abrasive filament refers to 3D printing materials that contain particles capable of wearing down printer components, particularly the nozzle. Common abrasive filaments include those infused with carbon fiber, glass fiber, or metal particles. These filaments are popular for their enhanced strength, rigidity, or unique aesthetic finishes. However, due to their abrasive nature, they can damage standard brass nozzles over time, leading to inconsistent extrusion or clogging. To counteract this, hardened steel or ruby-tipped nozzles are recommended for printing with abrasive filaments. Proper care and maintenance are essential when working with these materials to ensure high-quality results and printer longevity. |
