Topic: ColorFabb XT
I have begun to play with some ColorFabb XT copolyester ( http://colorfabb.com/xt-copolyester ). So far I like it. It is pretty transparent and seems strong and reminds me of Nylon or T-glase, but not exactly.
The Settings I have used:
- Hotend Temperature of 257 (on E3D hotend)
- Bed temp of 70 degrees
- I find that at 85% speed it stuck a little better on sharper corners, but that was a minor issue. And maybe that can even be fixed with a lil higher temperatures and further tweeks
- For the first layer I found it sticks better if I drop the speed to 50-60% for the first layer.
I had no issues printing with this stuff and it is fairly transparent and nicely luminescent. Easy to add good looking color accents with magic marker too like I did with the heart pendent.
