How Do I Find Out What Kinds Of Filament My 3d Printer Supports?

1.	How Do I Find Out What Kinds Of Filament My 3d Printer Supports?
Answer» You have a few options. The obvious ones are to visit the manufacturer’s WEBSITE or read the 3D printer manual. The supported filament type should be stated clearly. Another way is to ask Google. You should be able to find all sorts of people writing about their experiences using DIFFERENT filament types with their 3D printer, even types not EXPLICITLY listed by the manufacturer that STILL work. But keep in mind that the warranty won’t be valid any longer if your 3D printer breaks because of a filament the manufacturer does not support. Also, some MANUFACTURERS lock the users into using the manufacturer-made filaments, which usually comes in a proprietary filament cartridge. This way, your choice of (cheap) filaments is limited; on the other hand, you get the best printing results possible (the manufacturers claim).
