Materials

Same polymer name, different brand numbers. Open a family, then the product row.

Most common. Softer drying temps — overheating tangles the spool.

Filled PLA. Treat as abrasive; dry like PLA-family, not PETG.

Hygroscopic. Brand dry temps often disagree (55°C vs 65°C).

Flexible and moisture-hungry. Brand charts diverge a lot.

Higher dry temps. Enclosure usually required for printing.

UV-tougher cousin of ABS. Check brand dry table.

Nylon. Dry hard, then print from a dry box.

Filled nylon. Abrasive + very hygroscopic.

High dry temp. Enclosure for printing.

Filled polycarbonate. Hardened nozzle recommended.

Specialty. Follow the brand drying row exactly.
