a. ABSi model material uses SR-20 support material. A T12SR20 support tip should be used
(regardless of model tip size).
ABS-M30 and ABS-M30i model material can use SR-20 or SR-30 support material. Use the
T12SR20 tip for SR-20 material (regardless of model tip size) and use the T12SR30 tip for
SR-30 material (regardless of model tip size).
ABS-ESD7 and ASA model material uses SR-30 support material. A T12SR30 support tip
should be used regardless of model material tip size.
Nylon 12 model material uses SR-110 support material. A T12SR100 support tip should be
used (regardless of model material tip size).
PC-ABS model material uses SR-20 support material. A T12SR20 support tip should be used
(regardless of model tip size).
PC model material uses either SR-100 or PC_S support material. When using PC_S the
support tip matches model tip size for T12 and T16, while T20 uses a T16 support tip. When
using SR-100 use the T12SR100 support tip (regardless of model tip size).
PC-ISO model material uses PC_S support material. Support tip size matches model tip size
for T12 and T16, while T20 uses a T16 support tip.
Ultem* 9085 model material uses ULT_S support material. A T16 support tip should be used
(regardless of model tip size).
Ultem 1010 model material uses U1010S1 support material. A T16 support tip should be
used (regardless of model tip size).
PPSF model material uses PPSF_S support material. Support tip size matches model tip
size.
Nylon 12 model material uses SR-110 support material. A T12SR100 support tip should be
used (regardless of model tip size).
b. Tip Life is directly related to the amount of material that passes through the tip. The amounts
listed above are approximates of how much material will pass through a tip before the tip will
need to be replaced. Because other factors can affect tip life, the material amounts are only
approximates.
TIP IDENTIFICATION
Figure 3-8: Tip Identification
All unused model and support tips are
interchangeable - EXCEPT for Soluble
Release support tips. Once a tip is
used, it is committed to that material
type and is no longer interchangeable.
Tip size is imprinted on the top-
side of plate (T10, T12, T14, T16,
T20).
The Soluble Release support tip
is shorter than the standard tips.
Support tip size is imprinted on
the top side of the plate
(T12SR20, T12SR30,
T12SR100).
