instas "filaments that work on the M2" thread
Posted: Wed Feb 18, 2015 1:02 am
Until Rick yells at me for abusing moderator powers I'm going to abuse my moderator powers and lord over this particular thread with an iron fist, to try and keep it on-topic.
There is no canonical source of materials that can be printed on the M2, and lots of misinformation as well (especially around NinjaFlex!). So, please help me build a list. If you want to add a NEW filament (or configuration) to the list, please copy the following template -- having 13 different "here is my good looking MakerGear red PLA+ part with the stock M2 settings in S3D" posts will make it harder to see the spectrum of plastics we can use, please by all means be the first one but don't be the 13th.
If you want to start a discussion about a particular print, take it to PM or start a new thread.
