EasyCork is a lightweight cork-filled PLA-based filament which is gravimetrically filled with approximately 30% cork fibres. The gravimetric filling with relatively lightweight cork fibres means that EasyCork has extremely high volumetric cork filling properties, allowing you to 3D print beautiful objects with great cork-like aesthetics and cork-like properties such as being lightweight and impact resistant. EasyCork is a very easy to print material as it is based on our EasyFil PLA compound and the 30% gravimetrical filling with cork fibres make the filament absolutely warp-free. Unique features High cork filling Real cork feel, look and smell Very easy to print Warp-free printing Great thermal stability and filament flowing behaviour Perfect first- and inter-layer adhesion Can be printed at high printing speeds Lightweight and impact resistant General printing guidelines * Nozzle size: ≥ 0.4mm Layer height: ≥ 0.25mm Flow rate: ± 100% Print temp: ± 210 - 260° C Print speed: High Retraction: Yes ± 5mm Heat bed: ± 0 - 60° C Fan speed: 50-100% Experience level: Beginner *) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting. Filament length ± 202m Nozzle cleaning When printing with filled/composite filaments it is recommended to clean your nozzle immediately after printing by feeding 15-20cm PLA filament through your nozzle. This will make sure that any potential fillers are flown out of your nozzle. It is even better to use glow in the dark PLA as the extremely hard phosphorous particles are much more likely to scrape out residual waste from your nozzle.
