The WANHAO 3D Printer uses high quality PLA and ABS laments. Only use quality
WANHAO laments as using generic laments may damage your 3D Printer, affect the
print quality and may void your warranty. Extra lament including multiple colours
and types are available from the online store at id.aliexpress.com/store/120824
For beginners, we recommend using PLA materials as they are easy to print and does not
produce fumes when printing. Before using other types of laments, ensure you understand the
advantages and disadvantages of other laments and their proper usage.
