Welcome to Hatchbox 3D Printer Filament

Our engineered filament is here that will help you stream your creative outlet, enabling you to see your thoughts and concepts engineered into a real and rewarding reality.
The filaments are universally designed and compatible with 3D Printers The use of 1.75mm diameter filament, with a dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.05mm.

Frequently Asked Questions

1) Filament not extruding properly?
A: Check the kind of filament you’re working with and set the proper extruder temperature based on the filament type and heated build platform if applicable; trial and error. Rule of thumb is to set the extruder temperature to the highest temperature for the specific filament, then decrease the temperature by 5°C until properly extruded. Please note this will vary with each 3D printer.

2) How do I store my filament?
A: Most filaments tend to take in moisture from the air; on account of this your filament can turn into brittle and slowly degrade the quality. It’s Advisable to keep unused filament and store it in a storage container or zip lock bag with a desiccant.

3) May not the print stick to the build platform?
A: First, review FAQ #1. Second, for PLA it’s Advisable to use blue painters tape and ABS it’s Advisable to use kapton tape. If printing with ABS and the print will still not stick to the build platform You’ll use “*ABS Sludge” a little goes a long way. You’ll use this on the build platform on top of kapton tape.

*When creating the ABS sludge (mixture of acetone and ABS scraps), create the mixture in well ventilated area preferably outside. The use of this sludge will make the print stick to the build platform actually well and may be difficult to remove the print, use at your own discretion and a plastic scraper will come in handy.
