Filament diameter
The filament diameter is specified by the filament manufacturer. If the filament diameter is not specified (e.g. there is
no label on the filament spool) you can calculate the diameter as follows:
• Measure 1 m of filament material.
• Take diameter measurements at 10 different points at equal intervals (measure at least 1 m of material). Use a
caliper to take the measurements.
• Calculate the average of all the measurements to obtain the filament diameter.
The optimal temperatures vary considerably depending on the filament manufacturer, therefore you should do several
test prints to determine the best temperature for your chosen filament material. Adjust the temperature in 5 °C
increments and compare the results during or after printing. The first layer should always be printed more slowly at a
slightly higher temperature to ensure that it adheres to the print bed.
