INTRODUCTION
What is Splicing?
Palette combines different materials and feeds them into 3D printers to create
objects with multiple colors and materials. Heat, compression, and cooling is used
to join these filaments together.
Filament Tips
For best results it is recommended to:
-
Use filament that is /- 0.03 mm spec of 1.75 mm to create the best
quality splices.
-
Avoid using brittle filament. Check that the filament is not brittle before
splicing or printing. If the filament snaps easily without much effort, it's likely
become too brittle.
-
Use filament storage to keep spools dry.
How to tell if a splice and your splice tuning settings will create a
strong splice:
-
The splice will remain intact when feeding into the extruder. The splice is
pliable and takes multiple bends to break.
-
The splice has a diameter of approximately 1.75 mm ± 0.15 mm. If
possible, it is best to measure the diameter with digital calipers, with the
filament placed vertically so the splice is measured at multiple points.
