Few tips to successfully 3D print bearings with the IGUS tribo-filament

Igus Tribo is up to 50 times more abrasion-resistant than conventional 3D printer materials

igus® has been researching the 3D printer filament field to provide its customers with even more flexibility. For instance, they can design custom parts or manufacture prototypes while simultaneously relying on the tested service life of igus® materials. The product, which has been tested countless times in the igus® in-house testing lab, is the first filament for 3D printers specifically developed for dynamic applications. This new filament gives customers more flexibility for the design of their bearings, even prototypes can be produced relatively cost-effectively and quickly. igus®' online 3D-CAD library provides access to readily available 3D models for igus® products in STL formats, which can be downloaded and directly used as input data for 3D printing. The filament is available with spool diameters of 1.75 mm and 3.00 mm.

However, Igus Tribo-filament requiries few simple preacutions to avoid it get stuck in the 3D printer bowden and ensure part remains firmily attached to the print bed surface.
