Processing Guidelines
Material Application: Recommended exclusively for PLA or PETG filament applications. Select "Support for PLA/PETG" in "Support/Raft Interface" configuration within slicer software.
Tree Support Restriction: When utilizing tree support structures, avoid employing support filament for "Support/raft base" applications.
Storage and Drying: Maintain filament storage in low-humidity environment. Execute drying at 75°C for 8 hours if material exhibits brittleness or moisture exposure. Reference: Filament drying documentation.
Advanced Support Configuration: For comprehensive support-related parameter adjustments, reference: Support documentation.
