What materials can it print?
Compatibility derived from its verified specs. See the full materials guide →
| Material | Prints it? | Why |
|---|---|---|
| PLA | Yes | Yes. PLA has no special needs: any FDM printer like the S3 prints it out of the box. |
| PETG | Yes | Yes. With a nozzle up to 280 °C and a bed up to 140 °C it comfortably meets PETG's needs. |
| TPU (flexible) | With caveats | With caveats. It uses a bowden extruder: TPU is possible but slow and jam-prone; prefer harder (high-shore) TPU. |
| ABS | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 280 °C, but it's open-frame: ABS can warp and ventilation is advised. Doable in a draft-free spot or by adding an enclosure. |
| ASA | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 280 °C, but it's open-frame: ASA can warp and ventilation is advised. Doable in a draft-free spot or by adding an enclosure. |
| Nylon (PA) | With caveats | With caveats. It reaches 280 °C but is open-frame; Nylon warps in drafts and absorbs moisture. Enclosure + drying almost mandatory. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
| Policarbonato (PC) | With caveats | With caveats. It has the temperature (280 °C) but is open-frame; PC warps badly without an enclosure. Only with one added. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle. |
