Pellets: 1kg jars

Filament Density:
1.30g/cc – 1.50g/cc

Ceramic Content:
50.0% – 60.0% boron carbide

High Compatibility:
Works with virtually any open-architecture 3D printer—no proprietary hardware or specialized equipment required. Also compatible with 3D printing pens.

Easy Printing Experience:

• Print with a 0.6mm hardened steel, standard flow nozzle

• Prints similar to PLA

• Minimal to no warping

• Ensure the filament feeds straight into the extruder

• Less hygroscopic than PLA

• Do not dry this filament—drying will degrade the binder
