Choosing Gigabot X Print Materials

We are still in the process of testing various materials for printing with the GBX. At re:3D, we commonly print with:

• rPET (Innofil pellets)
• rPETG pellets
• PET (Polyquest pellets)
• PLA (re:3D ground flake)
• Polycarbonate (re:3D ground flake)

For updates on the full range of materials we’re testing, see our forum topic HERE (INSERT LINK).

General rules for choosing materials:

• Particles are ideally between 1 to 5mm in length.
• While flake and irregularly-shaped particles are often printable, materials with more uniform and more spherical particles are typically easier to print.
• Material must not be malleable at room temperature.
• Plastic is recommended (either pellets or recycled ground up flake). Plastic filled with other materials (carbon fiber, wood, copper, fiberglass, basalt) may also be printable.
