Vinyl 303

Vinyl 303 is a high-tech filament made of commodity plastic polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC.

 Working temperature: 215–230 °C
 Heated bed: 80 °C
 Available diameters: 1.75 mm and 2.85 mm
 Diameter tolerance: +/- 0.05 mm
 Weight: 750 g of filament (+ 230 g spool)
 The length of the filament:
232 m (1.75 mm, 750 g)
85 m (2.85 mm, 750 g)

Vinyl 303 is a high-tech filament made of polyvinyl chloride PVC, widely used commodity plastic.

Thanks to its great properties, this is a perfect choice for functional prototyping, spare parts, or printing of objects for everyday use.

Features:

  • Flame retardancy given by its chemical structure (naturally without additives)
  • Excellent chemical resistance to oils, salts, solutions, and water
  • Functionality, toughness, rigidity
  • Great hardness and mechanical properties
  • High impact resistance
  • Low warping
  • Low moisture absorption
  • High density
  • Safe for use in electrical and electronic equipment
  • Recyclable
