10 Filament
We have an open materials philosophy: We do not require you to buy filament from us, nor do we equip our
products with DRM or other technology to control what filament is used.
That said, there is a lot of poor quality filament on the market. Using this filament may produce poor results and
also may damage your printer. And at first glance it’s not obvious what is good quality filament and what is not.
Our solution is to maintain a list of filament suppliers whose filament we have tested and approved for use. In
many cases we optimize our profiles specifically for these materials to achieve the best results.
We ask that you please use material from these suppliers only
If you use material from a non-approved supplier and it causes damage to your printer, we may decline
to cover the cost of those repairs under your warranty.
If you need a specific material that is not currently available from an approved supplier, please contact us!
In many cases we can locate a source for the material and test it to confirm it works as expected.
Customers with our optional Advance Exchange Support Plan have priority in our material test queue.
A material that’s been through our testing process generates 3 pieces of information:
Verification that the material is able to be run on our equipment without damage to the equipment
A Material Release Notes document that gives you an overview of the material’s properties, what it’s
good for, where to buy, and any helpful hints for running it
A material profile for Simplify3D that correctly sets up your printer to run the material
We are constantly adding new suppliers and materials, so you can find up to date information on where to buy
