ZORTRAX M200 Alternative filaments

A bit of modding can be done to the machine like putting a resistor between the thermocouple of the extruder. It really would not be too difficult to do and will work with normal filaments. I have used some super cheesy filament for $20 at my local microcenter (the unbranded stuff) and have been able to get great results. The raft and supports came off just as easily as the regular material but was a bit too hot causing bridging to droop and did smoke just a hint when printing. If this was lowered any abs would work perfectly with the zortrax, and the prints that I was able to do came out great.

The Z-Temp™ is now available, providing Zortrax M200 users with extensive control of extruder temperature, visual display of actual extruder temperature, and output for measuring extruder temperature accurately, and the ability to disable bed heating.

So what filament did you use any brand in particular or a specific type of filament ?

The formfutura filament. It has a high printing temperature. Just testes another roll: easyfill white. It is really opaque white, i had been searching for that for some time, prints good. Before I used frosty white and pink from formfutura.

Hi guys, Oo-kuma ABS Works like charm on zortrax, in my experience much better than its own grade!

especially their carbon-fiber abs content is very good to work with zortrax.

cheers, arda

Great idea for the m200. Have it my self and it works great easy to install!

Nice work Julia! This takes away the single imperfection of the M200.

Hello it is possible to print the PLA with the M200 . just use the parameter Z- Glass in Zsuite . I also use a lot cheaper than ABS Z- ABS (http://www.machines-3d.com/filaments-resines-abs-machines3d-xsl-367\_413.html) . A printing it releases a strong odor, the print quality is similar to Z -ABS

you mean to keep an extra nozzle or you expect to need a extra hot end?

Thanks for your help.

I would like to try it, but little affraid of it

These ABS filaments print very well with Zortrax M200 printers.

3D printers that run on FDM Technology build parts layer-by-layer from the bottom up by heating and extruding thermoplastic filament. Here can you buy some Filaments for 3D printing.

Printer with Taulman PCTPE goes very easy with this setting but I get not the raft off

Does anyone already have a solution for this?

I know this is an old thread but just in case someone stumbles upon this as I did. Zortrax has opened their machines to third party materials. Z-suite now contains the option to switch to third party materials and make adjustments such as speed and temp.

Hi,

now with the new z-suite you can use also others filaments brand and type. In the advanced settings there are many opened parameters. Just try them
