Details: MakerBot 900-0024A METHOD Filament 9 Pack Mixed (6 PLA, 3 PVA)

Brand: MakerBot

MakerBot METHOD 3D Printing Filament Bundle 9-Pack (900-0024A) is the best and most consistent material optimized for use with MakerBot’s METHOD 3D Printers. These spools are for use in the MakerBot METHOD 3D Printer, METHOD X 3D Printer, and METHOD X Carbon Fiber 3D Printer. All MakerBot Material is manufactured to produce the highest quality 3D prints and is trusted by leading companies and institutions the world over, thanks to state-of-the-art material manufacturing and quality control standards. This 9-pack comes with each of the following: 6 spools of PLA Precision Model Material (2 True Black, 2 True White, 2 True Orange) and 3 spools of PVA Precision Support Material. Note: PVA material is a moisture sensitive water soluble material. The spools are shipped in resealable mylar bags, which are impermeable to light and moisture and help protect the filament from potential damage. Within the spool there is also desiccant to keep the environment moisture-free. A moisture sensitive material will run the risk of a high moisture uptake if stored improperly, which can result in decreased print quality and damage to the extruder.

Buyer Guide 3D Printing Supplies

 Before purchasing your 3D printer, it’s important to know what to look for.

• Consider your intended use. Will you be using a 3D printer for prototyping, making jigs, or making toys?
• Consider your skill level. The printer you buy should be easy enough to operate.
• Consider your printing requirements. Are you working with a CAD file that needs support or has overhangs?
• Consider the material. Will your printer be able to print in ABS, PLA, nylon, or glass-filled nylon?
• Consider the build volume. Will your printer be able to print in larger parts or in thinner layers?
• Check the warranty.

How to choose 3D Printing Supplies

 When shopping for 3D Printing supplies, there are several factors that you should keep in mind:

Is the 3D printer compatible with your
computer? Some 3D printers require special software, while others require
their own proprietary software. Some printers work with only Mac computers,
while others work with only Windows computers.

What materials will you use?
3D printers work with hundreds of materials, including polymers, metals,
porcelain, glass, and ceramics.

What are your needs?
Some 3D printers are better than others for specific types of uses. You
may want to look for a 3D printer that will handle small objects, large
objects, or both.

How much will you spend?
3D printers can cost thousands of dollars or a few hundred.

How large is the 3D printer?
3D printers come in all shapes and sizes. Some smaller printers work well
as desktop models, whereas bigger 3D printers can be used for large
spaces.

How large will your print be?
Some 3D printers can handle large prints, while some can only handle
small print jobs.

How fast will your 3D printer print?
3D printers are rated by how fast they print, and the speed will vary
depending on your needs. Some 3D printers print at a rate of several
inches per second, while others print at a rate of inches per hour.

Will you be printing outdoors or indoors?
Some 3D printers work best indoors, while others are best used outdoors.

 

How to maintain 3D Printing Supplies

3D printing is a fast-growing industry, and many people with 3D printers are excited to add to their collections. However, 3D printing supplies can be expensive, and you don’t want your materials to go to waste. So, how do you keep your materials in good condition?

• Keep them organized. Many materials come in resealable bags, and it’s easy to lose track of what’s inside. By storing your materials in resealable bags, you’ll always have an easy way of seeing what’s inside.
• Don’t pack them full. Packing materials too full can force the material inside the bag to break apart and warp. So, if you’re storing your materials in resealable bags, they should be packed loosely.
• Keep them clean. 3D printers use plastic filament, which tends to be very sticky. When storing or transporting your materials, use a thin layer of vegetable oil to keep them from sticking to each other or to other objects.
• Wash them by hand. Many 3D printers use a heated build plate that melts layers of plastic together. Printed parts can get stuck in this plate, which can damage the 3D printer. So, instead of washing the parts in the washing machine, wash them by hand.
• Oil them regularly. It is a good idea to oil your 3D printer’s print bed regularly to keep parts from sticking to it.
• Clean them regularly. Cleaning your 3D printer’s print bed is essential. If you don’t clean the print bed regularly, it may become covered with dried, hardened plastic, which can cause parts to get stuck.
• Keep them out of sunlight. UV light can damage or discolor your model parts. So, place your 3D printer in a well-lit, cool area.
