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: 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.
