The Tractus3D 3D printers are all with an open material support. This means you can use every material on the
machine, but Tractus3D does not guarantee a successful print.
We know there are a lot of brands and material types available on the market. We do love experimenting with
new materials if you know the risks and if you’re not worried about a failed print to learn.
If you have troubles with the machine, we will always advise to go back to Tractus3D supported PLA with a clean
(prefer new) nozzle.
Tractus3D supports the following materials (Tractus3D preferred filament)
PLA
PETG
ABS
Facilan C8
PRO1
Known “experimental” materials can be used (not supported):
ASA
TPU (all shore values)
PC (PolyCarbonate)
POM
PA (Nylon)
PP
CF-PET
Carbon, Wood, Brass, Bronze, Copper Fillers
HIPS
If you are using Glow in the Dark or Filler materials (like Carbon, Wood, Brass, etc.) please make sure to use a
special nozzle (hardened, ruby or stainless steel) which you can order at Tractus3D.
You will have to investigate which bed temperature will be the best for which material. We can’t supply a
complete list of all materials available. In this manual you will find a list with our supported materials and print
recommendations as a starting guide. You’re advised to fine tune those settings to your needs.
Our support desk can’t always have an answer on questions about experimental materials!
