3D-Fuel

USA manufacturer 3D printer filament. Industrial-grade + eco-friendly materials that are perfect for industrial users, prosumers, and hobbyists alike.

@Nana28423123 @DeHavenPictures Creality Print is on version 7.1. You are using a version many, many, many versions old.

Which 3D printer are you using?

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@Nana28423123 @DeHavenPictures What software are you using? We have profiles available for Creality Print, Creality's default slicer recommendation. Our logic is that user's that need the most help with profiles likely are using the default slicer from the printer manufacturer

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@Nana28423123 @DeHavenPictures Oh, PC is not the "PC" in PCTG. It's more similar to a PETG (both are copolyesters) than to a polycarbonate

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

A cold pull filament bonds to whatever is in the hotend so that you can pull it out via the cold pull method.

A purge filament, like our 3D Clean, is non-chemical, non-abrasive purging plastic that you melt and extrude through your hotend.

The purge material uses materials with a couple of different melting points, so that it expands and "scrubs" the inside and grabs all of the material that may be clinging to the inner walls of the hotend, and then is purged out through the heated nozzle.

Yet another reason for appreciating a @3D_Fuel upgrade over PETG: PCTG isn't a stringy mess!

@ViagraPussy We're certainly looking into it, but demand is already high and until our new production lines arrive and are staffed, we're capacity constrained on some things

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@stlDenise3D @Creality3dP The product line that simply won't die 😅

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@comingconflict This was literally MakerBox but with filament coils instead of full spools

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

Pretty much how I feel. Creality has come a long way since the Ender 3

[ZombieHedgehog | Hedgehog Makes @ZombieHedgehog_]

Again, @Creality3dP has designed a product that I would actually purchase for the first time in a while.

Based on INDX, this is the implementation I want to see on all printers going forward.

And I thought Bambu was going to release the next exciting toolchanger!

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

Yeah, Pro PCTG can print pretty darn clear, and you can vary the clarity with the number of wall loops, too!

@loyalmoses @IHateMustard @RedPill_Phil We'd love to show you around!

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@KenRamp @loyalmoses @VreeDogNight @ExplosionsOf_BS Can't pay a mortgage with free stuff. It's why we don't give away much filament, especially when demand is already so high that we're capacity-constrained

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@loyalmoses @RedPill_Phil Came out of nowhere = 24 months of strategic manufacturing, color, and profile development decisions

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@loyalmoses Toxic people gonna be toxic people, no matter the subject matter or channel of delivery. Time is a finite resource and it takes much less to block them than to do the work to educate

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@vgsere @gunfuzled @loyalmoses Yeah, that's just the inherent nature of PCTG. The GF Pro PCTG that we manufacture will not only provide a matte finish, but it will have mechanical advantages, too: https://t.co/fct2jw5FP4

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

The Lehvoss resin we use is currently only compounded in Germany. Then it's shipped over here, delivered to us, and we extrude it. It's currently a 12-week leadtime JUST for the compounding due to it being done in Germany. That ties up our capital for 12 weeks meaning that we can't use it for payroll, other raw materials, rent, etc.

If we place bigger orders, they will compound in the US. So we are at a chicken-and-egg scenario: we can't be more aggressive on pricing and move more material until the compounding price comes down.

But we can't justify a large component run unless the demand is there.

And because we're bootstrapped, we don't have a pile of venture capital money to play around and experiment with

[3D-Fuel @3D_Fuel]

@gunfuzled @loyalmoses Yes, and we're working on a true Magpul FDE instead of the too-mich-red current FDE
