Smart Spool™ provides valuable information including material type, color, and amount remaining via an RFID chip directly to MakerBot Print, while a desiccant in the spool maintains a low moisture level inside the drawer bay.
SPECIALTY MATERIAL USER NOTE
Specialty Materials provide basic print performance and can require additional workflow steps to print successfully. PETG requires the application of adhesion stick to the build plate prior to printing.
MATERIAL DATA
Moisture Resistance (ISO 62): 1104 ppm
Heat Deflection – ASTM 648: 70°C (158°F)
Flexural Strength (ISO 178): 69 MPa (10007 psi)
Flexural Modulus (ISO 178): 2050 Mpa (297,327 psi)
Tensile Strength at yield (ISO 527): 50 Mpa (7251 psi)
Store in the included a vacuum-sealed metalised polyester bag to avoid moisture absorption from air; long-term exposure to humidity can compromise material quality and performance. Make sure the built-in desiccant is in the spool to absorb any moisture exposure during the material loading process.
