Hot Flow is our term for filament-based materials which are deposited at up to 450°C, depending on the head. As of January, 2016, our Hot Flow heads are only for 1.75mm filaments.

==Materials for Hot Flow==

The following materials can be printed from Hot Flow heads. Note that depending on the characteristics of your material, one head will be a better match than the others. See the "Recommended For" column in the table below.

<div style="column-count:5;-moz-column-count:5;-webkit-column-count:5">
*[[ABS]], Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene
*[[BendLay]]
*[[FilaFlex]]
*[[Flex45]]
*[[LayBrick]]
*[[LayWood]]
*[[NinjaFlex]]
*[[Nylon]]
*[[PC]], PolyCarbonate
*[[PEEK]], PolyEther Ether Ketone
*[[PET]], PolyEthylene Terephthalate
*[[PETG]], PolyEthylene Terephthalate Glycol-modified
*[[PLA]], PolyLactic Acid
*[[PlastInk Rubber]]
*[[PP]], PolyPropylene
*[[PVA]], PolyVinyl Alcohol
*[[T-Glase]]

==Heads for Hot Flow==

Hot Flow is available through the following heads:

The following table compares the properties of the various Hot Flow heads, including which heads are recommended for which materials. The MK1 heads drive matieral from one side, with a spring-loaded bearing system to maintain pressure and positioning. The MK2 heads drive the material from both sides, and are designed for more flexible filaments.
