Unique Product Questions 2026

hese questions are very specific but have been asked in the past. These are specifically here as a resource for the AI to crawl to better help you.

chevron-rightDo you offer a 5VA rated material that is suitable for use on a bambulab X1C or H2Dhashtag

We tried several PA6 formulas with 5VA test. Some of them could pass it, but the printability and layer strength of them is not so good. So we have not got one formula with 5VA and good printability at the same time.

We do not currently have a material that can pass this certification.

chevron-rightCan you provide the ratio of PC vs ABS on PC-ABS?hashtag

No, we cannot give out formula details

chevron-rightWill HT-PLA stand up to soaking in hot water up to 140F? hashtag

HT-PLA can work for this application if the parts are annealed and not under mechanical stress during soaking. If the handles will be frequently soaked for extended periods, PETG or ASA would be the safer material choice.

chevron-rightDoes TPU95 contain latex?hashtag

PolyFlex™ TPU95 does not contain latex. This formula consists solely of pure TPU material.

chevron-rightDo your Fiberon nylons have UV stabilizers? hashtag

Fiberon™ PA612-CF does not include dedicated UV stabilizer packages in the formulation. The base PA612 polymer itself has moderate inherent UV resistance, and the presence of carbon fiber can provide some degree of UV shielding by reducing direct UV penetration into the polymer matrix. That said, PA612-CF is not specifically designed or qualified for long-term, unprotected outdoor UV exposure, especially in demanding environments such as marine applications where UV, humidity, and salt exposure are combined.

If long-term, uncoated outdoor exposure is required, especially in marine environments, ASA-CF would be the more conservative material choice.

chevron-rightCan a Stratasys F370 use Polymaker filament? hashtag

Stratasys F370 can only take chipped filament that the printer requires to read it. So no, not without modification of some kind to make it a work around.

Their filament diameter is also little bit larger than 1.75mm

chevron-rightThe screen on my polydryer will randomly disply odd artifacts or not display the correct information.hashtag

You may have a malfunctioning unit so please reach out to [email protected] with your order information, the serial number of the dryer located under the dock, and a photo of the screen.

That said, generally, there are two possible causes for this issue. The first is strong static electricity; once the static is discharged, powering the machine off and then back on should restore it to normal. The second possibility is that external force may have cracked the screen, resulting in liquid leakage.

chevron-rightDo you have a suggestion for continuous printing across multiple spools outside of an AMS like system? For instance - you can't use brittle filament in an AMS like system but I would like continuous printing so when one spool runs out - it continues printing. hashtag

We would suggest checking out InfinityFlowarrow-up-right

chevron-rightDo you have any info if any of your TPU options will work for silicone molds? Will EPOXY stick to them?hashtag

Our PolyFlex™ TPU series materials exhibit relatively weak direct chemical bonding with epoxy resins. It may require testing to see if it works for your application

chevron-rightDo you have the model used for printing your PETG-ESD results?hashtag

We used a simple surface for testing, and you can refer to our TDS to print something similar. For moisture concerns, we recommend using dry filament, as moisture can vaporize during printing and create gaps in the printed parts.

chevron-rightWhat would you suggest as a replacement for delrin?hashtag

Unfilled nylon would be the closest we have to Delrin.

chevron-rightWould an ESD material be good for a project that needs to block RF signals?hashtag

For effective shielding performance, excellent conductors are required. Even when printing with ESD materials at high temperatures, they only marginally meet the standards for conductors and are not considered excellent conductors. Although we haven't conducted similar tests, using ESD materials might not be advisable.

chevron-rightDo you have a material we can suggest that can be autoclaved?hashtag

Short answer: we don’t have internal validation/certification documented for any Polymaker filament to withstand standard steam‑autoclave cycles (121–134°C).

chevron-rightDo you have a product close to Ultrafuse TPC 45D from BASF?hashtag

The closest we would offer would be our TPU90, but it will not be exactly the same.

chevron-rightDo you have a material that meets high mechanical strength, thermal sterilization, and radiolucency? hashtag

I would recommand PPS-CF10, but you need at least 320C nozzle to print.

Based on:

PPS composites offer excellent stiffness, dimensional stability, and creep resistance compared to most printable polymers.

Good resistance to repeated steam sterilization cycles (134°C / 273°F)

Carbon fiber generally produces fewer imaging artifacts compared to glass fiber.

chevron-rightWhat are the dimensions of your old plastic spools?hashtag

These spools are discontinued - but our old plastic spool dimensions were:

200mm Outer Diameter

68mm Spool Width

54.9mm inner core diameter

This is not true for our cardboard spools.

chevron-rightI see you mention you can also anneal PPS-GF20 at 230C for better performance. How long did you anneal at that temperature for? hashtag

Also 10h

chevron-rightWith heat sets and materials that need to be annealed - do you put the heat sets in before or after annealing the print? hashtag

After. Install heat‑set inserts after annealing; for nylons, do it after annealing and any moisture‑conditioning if tight tolerances, since dimensions shift slightly.

chevron-rightWill zircon and water adhere to Polycast? If not, do we offer any materials that will?hashtag

Short answer: yes – a standard zircon + water investment slurry should adhere to PolyCast, and we don’t have another filament that’s clearly better than PolyCast just to solve this.

If you're seeing poor adhesion, focus on:

  • Making sure the PolyCast surface is clean and release‑free (no mold release, oils, or un-rinsed IPA/solvent from smoothing).

  • Confirming the zircon/water slurry is within the supplier’s solids/viscosity window and using adequate dip dwell time so it fully wets the pattern.

  • Avoiding overly aggressive draining/air‑knifing on the first coat and ensuring controlled drying so the shell doesn’t crack or spall.

chevron-rightIs there any difference between the old PolyMax PETG-ESD and the new Fiberon PETG-ESD at all? hashtag

Nope! It is exactly the same formula just under new packaging

chevron-rightDo you have flash point, kinematic viscosity, or VOC 9% or g/L) for your materails? hashtag

No, we do not have this data at this time.

chevron-rightHow do you produce a permanently anti-static plastic part, like Festool does with their hose fittings?hashtag

Fiberon ESD materials achieve static dissipative behavior through a carbon nanotube (CNT) conductive network distributed throughout the polymer matrix.

Unlike temporary antistatic systems that rely on surface migration additives, the CNT network forms a permanent conductive pathway embedded within the material structure.

As a result:

  • The electrostatic dissipative performance does not degrade over time under normal use conditions.

  • The ESD function is not dependent on humidity absorption or additive migration.

  • Performance remains stable throughout the functional life of the printed part.

The commonly referenced 1–2 year effective lifetime is therefore not a limitation of the ESD mechanism itself, but rather a conservative recommendation based on the expected service life of PETG parts under typical environmental and mechanical exposure.

ESD performance may change if the surface becomes coated, contaminated, or mechanically damaged, even though the conductive network inside the material remains intact.

chevron-rightDo you have offgassing information for PETG-ESD post print?hashtag

Under normal conditions, PETG-based materials are considered stable well below their glass transition temperature (77 °C for PETG-ESD). At temperatures such as 65 °C, we would not expect significant off-gassing from the printed part during normal use.

However, we do not currently have specific quantitative off-gassing test data for this material at that temperature. If your application has strict requirements (e.g., electronics or PCB environments), we would recommend conducting a small-scale validation test under your actual operating conditions.

chevron-rightDo you have RF data for PET-CF17?hashtag

We do not currently have RF information for PET-CF, but you can refer to our PPS-GF parameters to see if they meet your requirements, including dielectric constant and dielectric strength.

chevron-rightWould the same support material that works for PLA also work for PLA-CF?hashtag

Theoretically, PLA support is compatible to PLA-CF. Printing defects may be related to the printing parameters of the material and the set environmental temperature.

chevron-rightWas the fan changed on the PolyDryer?hashtag

Yes, we changed the fan. Qisu is the old one, and we change it in order to lower the noise and have a better overall quality control, which Kingmot can do. So the latest one- Kingmot is better.

chevron-rightIs there any outgassing data available for Fiberon PA6712-ESD? If there are any TML or CVCM values per ASTM E595 that are availablehashtag

At this time, we do not have ASTM E595 outgassing data (TML / CVCM) available for Fiberon™ PA612-ESD. This type of testing is typically required for aerospace or vacuum applications, and has not yet been conducted for this material.

That said, PA612-based materials generally exhibit lower moisture absorption and better dimensional stability compared to many other nylons, but they are still not specifically designed or qualified for low-outgassing or vacuum environments.

If your application requires strict outgassing limits, we would recommend conducting application-specific testing on printed parts under your actual conditions.
