Besides PLA, what kinds of filament can I use with my Axis 3D printer?

in 3D Printing

Besides PLA, what kinds of filament can I use with my Axis 3D printer? What special considerations do I need to keep in mind when thinking about using different filaments?


Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions.

After upgrading the power supply I was able to get the bed up to 110c ... I was able to print PETG - however I was unable to remove PETG from the sticker on the flexplate. I ruined a couple of flexplate stickers that way. I bought some more stickers, but the old stickers are nearly impossible to get off. Had to use lots of Goo Be Gone. While I don't plan to try and print PETG again, if I did, I will use a bare metal Flexplate and blue masking table/glue I think. But it did print fine (though fine is relative as my printer was not as well tuned as it is now - but it was of the same quality I was getting out of PLA at the time).
