FAQ
How can I smooth PolySmooth?
Polymaker PolySmooth™ can be smoothed with IPA using 2 methods:
1) Using the Polysher™ (less labor intensive, safer, more consistent and reliable results)
2) Spraying IPA with a spray bottle using our Polishing Kit
For 2) we recommend spraying a thin coat of IPA on the surface of your PolySmooth™ model and let it dry for 15-20min and cycle these 2 steps until the desired smoothness.
CAUTION: Proceed in a well ventilated area to avoid inhaling IPA vapors.
Is PolySmooth™ a PLA-based material?
No.
Although PolySmooth™ prints with similar settings as PLA, PolySmooth™ is PVB-based. PVB is more hygroscopic than PLA, so it requires a filament dryer when it has absorbed moisture. The PVB base is what allows it to be post-processed very easily with IPA for a smoother surface finish, unlike PLA.
Will the spools work in an AMS?
Yes. Polymaker redesigned the edges of their spools so all Polymaker products have better compatibility in the Bambu Lab AMS.
Is this material food safe?
Polymaker does not have data regarding whether or not this material is food safe.
Currently, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food-safe compliant. To be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified, not the base material.
The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more go into getting a food safety certificate.
Currently, there is no certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.
