How can I smooth PolySmooth™?

PolySmooth™ can be smoothed with IPA using 2 methods:

1) Using the Polysher™ (less labor intensive, safer, more consistent and reliable results)
2) Spraying IPA with a spray bottle using our Polishing Kit

For 2) we recommend spraying a thin coat of IPA on the surface of your PolySmooth™ model and let it dry for 15-20min and cycle these 2 steps until the desired smoothness.
CAUTION: Proceed in a well ventilated area to avoid inhaling IPA vapors.

Is PolySmooth™ a PLA based material?

No, although PolySmooth™ prints with similar settings as PLA, PolySmooth™ is PVB based.
PVB is more hygroscopic than PLA so it requires a dry box however it can be post processed very easily with IPA for smoother surface finish.

Will the spools work in an AMS?

Yes! We have redesigned the edges of our spools so all Polymaker products will now spin great in the AMS.

Is this material food safe?

Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Do you sell refills?

We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time
