- 4.Print for no extra cost.
- 5.You may trade in remaining filament for future print credit.
If printing in the MSD, toxic or odorous filaments are not supported, including: ABS, ASA and PC. An enclosure and filtration system would be required.
Refer to Prusa's Material Table for supported materials and base print settings.
Tuning may be required to get desired print results.
Note that it will be your responsibility to store the filament in recommended conditions when not in use. We are unable to store filament for you due to limited storage space.
The Makerbot Print Farm only supports non-filled PLA filaments.
