Chapter 2 — 3D Printing¶
This chapter covers the print settings and material requirements for all 3D-printed DryBase parts.
Material Requirements — Read Carefully
The DryBase operates at temperatures up to 100°C. All 3D-printed parts must be printed in materials that can withstand these temperatures. Using incorrect materials may result in warping, deformation, or safety hazards.
Recommended Materials¶
| Material | Suitable | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| PA6-CF/GF | ✓ | Recommended. Excellent heat resistance. |
| PA6-GF25 | ✓ | Recommended. e.g. Polymaker Fiberon. |
| PAHT-CF/GF | ✓ | Good heat resistance. |
| ASA | ✓ | Acceptable with proper annealing. |
| ABS | ⚠️ | Marginal. May warp at sustained 100°C. |
| PLA / PETG | ✗ | Do not use. Will deform at operating temperatures. |
Print Settings¶
| Setting | Value |
|---|---|
| Layer height | 0.2mm |
| Infill | 30% minimum |
| Walls | 4 minimum |
| Supports | As indicated per part |
