Tips&Tricks
nGen gives best results on a heated build platform, 75 °C to about 85 °C is usually needed for proper adhesion to a glass plate. Printing on a cold bed is possible but you’ll need some adhesion tools to minimize warping. 3DLac, buildTak or 3DEeze can do the trick.
The suggested 3D print speed is around 40 - 70 mm/s.
TIPS!
With the unique combination of a low processing temperature and an elevated temperature resistance (85 °C), nGen can quickly print creations that are functional, durable, efficient, and attractive. nGen is an amazing material which enables users to create parts with gorgeous detail and the benefit of long term stability.
Applications:
Home Appliances, Consumer Electronics, Toys, Visual & Functional Prototyping, Modeling / Character design, Lighting, Medical
Due to all the different types of hot-end it's extremely difficult to give a temperature advice. Please consider our tips as a starting point to find the temperatures that work well in your setup. You may have to adjust the temperature settings slightly based on your type of printer.
