For Tips & Tricks on how to print Xstrand GF30-PA6 1.75MM on the Zortrax M200 Plus. Zortrax M300 Plus and Zortrax M300 Dual??

Printing Recommendations:

– XSTRAND? filaments are designed to be compatible with most of open fused filament fabrication 3D printers available on the market
– Hardened steel nozzle is highly recommended to print XSTRAND?. When melted. XSTRAND? filament can be abrasive due to its glass reinforcement. Using hardened steel nozzles and extruder driving wheels is advised. Hardened steel nozzles can be found at

– Nozzle diameter: >0.4mm
– It’s recommended to start with default setting for nylon materials in the slicer software.
– Nozzle temperature: 220 C 280 ?C
– Bed temperature: 80-110 ?C
– Better bed adhesion is achieved using the following components for standard nylon printing.
– Perforated bed (such as the one on Zortrax machines). If you are using a perforated bed. you don’t need kapton tape or glue sticks.
– If you are printing on glass bed. a regular all-purpose elmer’s glue stick is preferred for better bed adhesion.
– If you are printing on PI Katpon adhesive tape. a glue stick is also recommended.
– Or you can choose to use a PEI sheet
