Our recommendations for use with PolyTerra

PolyTerra Army Red is compatible with all open 3D machines on the market, whether in 1.75 or 1.75 mm 2.85mm.

We recommend that you set your printer to an extrusion temperature of between 190 and 230°C in order to print PolyTerra Army Red under optimum conditions. A print speed of between 30 and 70mm/s and the use of a heating plate between 25 and 60°C are also recommended.

If your printer is equipped with a direct drive extrusion system, the recommended shrink distance is 1mm at a speed of 20mm/s. If your printer uses Bowden extrusion, the recommended shrink distance is 3mm and a speed of 40mm/s.

Finally, for food contact compliance, although Army Red PolyTerra complies with the main standards, some printed parts may have cracks and holes that are invisible to the naked eye. Bacteria in general are prone to proliferate in these areas.
