PLACompatible on paper

Temperature, bed, enclosure, and stock-nozzle checks pass.

PETGCompatible on paper

Temperature, bed, enclosure, and stock-nozzle checks pass.

ABSNot recommended

A closed, stable chamber is treated as a hard requirement for this material family.

ASANot recommended

A closed, stable chamber is treated as a hard requirement for this material family.

TPU 95ACompatible with conditions

Dry filament and print from a dry box; humidity can invalidate an otherwise compatible setup.

Polycarbonate (PC)Not recommended

A closed, stable chamber is treated as a hard requirement for this material family.

Nylon (PA)Compatible with conditions

Small parts may work, but an enclosure materially improves reliability.

PA-CFCompatible with conditions

Small parts may work, but an enclosure materially improves reliability.

PA-GFCompatible with conditions

Small parts may work, but an enclosure materially improves reliability.

PLA-CFCompatible with conditions

Extruder-gear wear resistance is not recorded for this configuration. Confirm the maker's abrasive-filament hardware guidance; a wear-resistant nozzle alone does not verify the feed path.

PETG-CFCompatible with conditions

Dry filament and print from a dry box; humidity can invalidate an otherwise compatible setup.

PVA / BVOHCompatible with conditions

Dry filament and print from a dry box; humidity can invalidate an otherwise compatible setup.

HIPSCompatible with conditions

Small parts may work, but an enclosure materially improves reliability.

Polypropylene (PP)Compatible with conditions

Small parts may work, but an enclosure materially improves reliability.

PVBCompatible with conditions

Dry filament and print from a dry box; humidity can invalidate an otherwise compatible setup.

This is a constraint screen, not a print-quality promise.

Nozzle wear, part geometry, ventilation, tuning, moisture, firmware, modifications, and the exact filament formulation still determine whether a print is appropriate and successful.
