TIPS & TRICKS
- Using an abrasive-resistant nozzle (hardened steel, ruby-tip, diamond-tip, tungsten carbide, etc.) is highly recommended.
- Tungsten powder is a highly abrasive material and will quickly wear out a brass nozzle.
- For best adhesion, print on a powder-coated Satin or TXT sheet.
- Clean the print surface with isopropyl alcohol (IPA) on a paper towel while the bed is cold.
- Avoid printing on a smooth PEI sheet, as strong adhesion may cause damage.
- If using a smooth surface, apply a thin layer of glue stick for easier print removal.
