2. nGen_FLEX: Semi-flexible, temperature resistant up to 130°C, ideal for medical environments. Best results on heated platforms at 80°C.
3. PETG Economy: Suitable for high-volume users, performs well on heated platforms at 70-80°C. Recommended cooling is 75-100% for aesthetics.
4. Special Filaments: Includes metal powder and natural fiber-infused filaments like bronzeFill, copperFill, steelFill, corkFill, woodFill, glowFill, XT-CF20, PLA Semi-Matte, LW-PLA, Tough PLA, varioShore TPU, Laser Marking PLA, and DPA-100.

Specifications and Recommendations
- bronzeFill, copperFill, steelFill: Require post-processing for a polished finish. Printing temperature is 195-220°C.
- corkFill, woodFill: Provide unique textures, similar print settings to PLA.
- XT-CF20: Carbon fiber composite, requires wear-resistant nozzles.
- varioShore TPU: Variable shore hardness, suitable for insoles and cosplay parts.
- Laser Marking PLA: Optimized for laser engravers.
- DPA-100: Polyacrylate support material, dissolves in mild alkaline solution.

General Tips
- Use appropriate cooling settings for complex geometries.
- Ensure proper adhesion with recommended bed temperatures and adhesion aids.
- Consider nozzle wear with abrasive materials.
- Adjust material flow and layer height for optimal print quality.

colorFabb 3D printing filament portfolio-10

Design by Eric Harrell Product Description Our first development for the 3D printing market was a tougher and less brittle PLA filament. Through a process called compounding a polyhydroxyalkanoate is added to a carefully selected PLA. The result of this process is a completely homogenous blend, which is the base material for our PLA/PHA filament. PLA/PHA filament is available in 30 colors with great brilliance and excellent opacity. With increased toughness and better layer-to-layer adhesion, PLA/PHA is a premium filament. 2200 gram spools for specific colors available on request, MOQ may apply....
