A huge variety of materials can be printed with various extruders on the Hyrel machines. Below are the recipes we have so far...

Materials Printable on Hyrel Machines

The following is a list of materials with which the Hyrel machines can print; you can sort by any column. Please note that fans should be OFF for the first five layers, then on at the specified speed (see note below).

Note: we've had GREAT SUCCESS and are very impressed with the GeckoTek EZ-Stik build plates, and now recommend them for most thermoplastics (printing at under 350C; they stick TOO well to PEEK and Ultem):

  • Note: Be sure the fan directs air to the material and not directly at the nozzle.
  • Note: In Slic3r, you should slice with a fan value between 0 and 39, which will result in a fan speed between 0 and 99, since we have our fans run between 0 and 100, not between 0 and 255 like other printers. Also note that we leave the fan OFF for the first five layers.
  • Note: PEEK is normally printed on Anycubic Ultrabase, or on an ABS base layer; PPSU is normally printed on a PC base layer.

Please note that there is a nice chart on the Simplify3D site that compares materials.
