Filament diameter specs:
1.75mm, +/- 0.05mm

Recommended Print Conditions:

Extruder:

240-270°C (ideal layer bonding at 260-270°C), or even hotter if you have an all-metal hot-end. However, do not exceed 300°C to avoid the onset of polymer degradation. Please note: that if you have layer bonding issues, this is a typical sign that you need to use higher extruder temps.

Bed Temp:

100-110°C. This Nylon alloy has a Tg of 105°C, which is higher than most competitive nylons on the market. Therefore, our bed temp recommendations may be higher than what you’re accustomed to when printing with other nylons.

Bed Prep:

Ideally use Polyimide Tape & ABS/Acetone Slurry [together] or any surface you’ve been using with nylon-based filaments. Please note that acetone has difficulty dissolving iOn™ and standard ABS should be used to make the slurry.

We typically do not use a fan when printing with iOn™ and have had better success with printers that have an enclosed build area (to keep some heat in).

Drying:

iOn™ is an alloy of Nylon therefore absorbs more moisture that what you may be familiar with. If the filament is stored in humid environments for an extended period of time – it will absorb moisture. While not in use, we recommend storing iOn™ in our Mylar pouch HERE. However, if drying is needed (you hear popping noises during printing – generally water boiling off from the resin), then we recommend drying in an oven at 175°F (F, not C) for 2-4 hours. We use a dedicated oven for this purpose and do not recommend using the family oven!! Try a toaster oven – your family will thank you for not turning dinner into a science experiment.
