Print Profile

Our Print Profiles & Settings

We are actively testing and developing suggested print profiles for the filaments we carry, using our in-house 3D printers. This is an ongoing process, and we appreciate your patience as we test all our materials.

How to Find the Right Profile:

For Untested Materials: If you don’t see a profile for your filament, we recommend starting with the “Generic” profile for that material type (e.g., “Generic PLA,” “Generic PETG”) in your slicer and fine-tuning from there.

A Note on Branded Profiles: Please be aware that profiles from specific brands are optimized for their own materials and may not be suitable for filaments from other brands.
