This filament when exposed to light for around 15 minutes.
Wood Filament
Glow in the Dark / Luminous Filament
Rainbow / Multi Color Filament
Color Changing Filament
This filament has quite an interesting property of reacting to the temperature.

Also called clear filament, a common color option for ABS and PLA plastics.
wood
transparent filament
wax
thermoplastic powder
An umbrella term for any plastic that gets soft at high temperatures, and solidifies as it cools. Both ABS and PLA are thermoplastics.
thermoplastic powder
thermoplastics
transparent filament
stainless steel
The material used to make the spools of plastic filament.
PLA plastic filament
plaster
plastic film
plastic pellets
The speed at which the print head moves while it is not extruding any plastic.
Travel Speed
Firmware
STL
Slicing
A widely used file format for 3D models. This is one of the file formats accepted by our software Cura.
STL
Slicing
Print Speed
Layer Resolution
The process of converting a 3D model into a printable file. It will divide the model into “slices” so that the Ultimaker can build it up layer by layer.
STL
Slicing
Travel speed
Extruder
The file format that is used for 3D print files (after it has been sliced). A G-code file basically exists of coordinates that control the movements of the Ultimaker.
G-Code
STL
Extruder
Firmware
A common name for the parts that control the extrusion of the filament. This means that the extruder on an Ultimaker exists of the material feeder, bowden tube and print head.
Extruder
Slicing
STL
Travel speed
The speed at which the print head moves while it is printing. Based on the print speed the amount of plastic that needs to be extruded will be calculated.
Print Speed
Positioning precision
Layer resolution
ABS
The accuracy with which the print head moves around in the X and Y direction. Instead of moving around in a perfect circle it moves around in steps of 12.5 micron.
Positioning precision
Layer resolution
PLA
Filament
The layer resolution (or layer height) describes the thickness of one layer of the 3D print. With an Ultimaker the default layer resolution is 0.1 mm (100 micron), but it can even reach a 0.02 mm (20 micron) layer height. You will however need quite some 3D printing experience for this.
Layer Resolution
ABS
PLA
Pring Speed
This is a hard, odorless bioplastic that has a low environmental impact. It is derived from renewable, starch-based resources. PLA has a very low shrinkage, which is ideal for 3D models and prototyping at home.
PLA
Filament
Layer Resolution
Print speed
An additive manufacturing technology that is based on the principle of laying down material in layers. This is the 3D printing technique that Ultimaker uses.
Fused filament fabrication (FFF)
Filament
Travel
Firmware
The material that is used for 3D printing. It has the shape of a wire and is usually coiled on a spool.
