Read This First:
First, welcome to the Narrow Path Family- we think you'll like it here.
Before getting started printing here a few tips to keep your materials in peek condition so you can get the best printing results.
- Always protect your filament from UV rays (direct/indirect sunlight/strong bright lights)
- The ideal temperature for storage is 15-25C (60-75F)
- We recommend you keep your filaments in a sealed bag when not in use (extra points if you can throw in an extra silicate bag, or two )
- When finished printing and transferring to storage slide the loose end of filament into the side notch or double holes. This is to secure the filament to avoid entanglements that can cause print failures. This also makes reloading the filament easier, and keeps your spool looking spiffy.
- If you have human or animal children it is best to keep the filament out of their reach. They can't help themselves, and mishaps will occur.
Print Settings for Fiberlogy Filaments:
Here you'll find all of the suggested basic print settings for getting started with your Fiberlogy filament.
We highly recommend you do a few test prints with your new materials and adjust the settings to meet the needs of your exact printer and what you desire to print.
Doing so will ensure you get the best print quality.
If you have other questions and you couldn't find the answer listed here, please feel free to email us at narrowpath3d@gmail.com and we will be happy to answer your questions.
Happy printing,
