The extruder design is developed to handle almost any plastic that is compatible
with your FDM 3D-printer. The extrusion heating system is able to extrude
materials up to 350/450 degrees Celsius, depending on your model. And with the
added mixing screw, you can get improved mixed plastic compounds.

6.1. WHAT MATERIALS NOT TO USE?

Some materials are not fit for extrusion and 3D-printing. Extruding plastics that
release poisonous gasses when heated for example PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) is ill
advised. Before extruding any kind of material with the filament maker, find out if
the material is safe for use. Materials with a high hardness (for example metals,
fibers and ceramics) or melting temperature higher than 450 Degrees Celsius must
always be extruded mixed with plastics, and can never be processed in its pure
form. Materials with a high hardness and/or melting temperature need to be
extruded with care, extruding these materials with the filament maker might cause
excessive wear to the extruder and can shorten the lifespan significantly.
