Filament Materials Guide

Every EmberForm spool is 1.75 mm (±0.03 mm), 1 kg net weight. Use the table below as a starting point — then fine-tune temperatures for your specific printer.

Material Hotbed Print temp Best for
PLA Enhanced 50–80 °C 190–210 °C Everyday prints, fast & reliable
Matte PLA 50–80 °C 190–220 °C Display models, hides layer lines
PLA Silk 50–80 °C 200–220 °C Glossy, eye-catching prints & gifts
PLA Marble 50–80 °C 190–220 °C Stone-look vases & décor
PLA Glow In The Dark 50–80 °C 190–220 °C Toys, signage, night-visible parts
PLA Carbon Fiber 50–80 °C 190–230 °C Stiff, lightweight, matte parts
PETG 70–90 °C 230–250 °C Tough functional parts, containers
PETG Carbon Fiber 75–85 °C 220–260 °C Rigid structural & RC parts
ASA 80–100 °C 240–270 °C Outdoor & UV-resistant parts
TPU 95A 75–85 °C 190–230 °C Flexible parts, cases, gaskets
PA6 (Nylon 6) 90–100 °C 240–270 °C Gears, hinges, wear-resistant parts
PC+ (Polycarbonate) 100–110 °C 235–260 °C High-strength, heat-resistant parts
PLA Wood 90–100 °C 200–250 °C Natural wood-look décor
PVA 45–60 °C 180–220 °C Water-soluble supports (dual extrusion)

Tip: abrasive materials (Carbon Fiber, Wood, Glow) print best with a hardened nozzle, and Nylon/PVA/PC+ should be dried before printing.
