Specifications Safety Sheet Buy BigRep HI-TEMP Buy BigRep HI-TEMP Frequently asked questions Is BigRep HI-TEMP filament compatible with all 3D printers? Collapse Yes, the BigRep PRO HT is compatible with all open material system 3D printers with a heated print bed and adequate temperature extrusion capabilities (190-230°C). Is it safe to print HI-TEMP indoors? Expand Yes, it is, as long as the room has good ventilation or an air filtration system for the safety and comfort of the people using the 3D printer. How should HI-TEMP be stored? Expand HI-TEMP is a somewhat hygroscopic material which means it absorbs moisture from the air which affects the print quality. We recommend filament storage with a dryer such as the DRYCON which keeps the filament in perfect condition. Printing with HI-TEMP vs. PLA, which is better? Expand HI-TEMP has a greater impact strength than PLA making it a preferred choice for functional parts, such as tooling, that need to e durable to withstand prolonged use. Should I dry HI-TEMP filament? Expand Yes, drying HI-TEMP filament is important if it has been exposed to moisture. HI-TEMP can absorb water from the air resulting in bubbling or stringing while printing with it. We recommend using the BigRep DRYCON for 4-6 hours at 50°C, or use any industrial filament dryer or store it in a dry, airtight container with desiccants. What is the lifespan of HI-TEMP filament? Expand HI-TEMP filament has a long shelf life if stored properly in a cool, dry place with minimal exposure to moisture or UV light. PRO HT-printed parts can also last for years, depending on factors such as exposure to sunlight, chemicals, or physical wear.
