2 CONTENTS Metal Clay Engineering Plastic PLA Filament ABS Filament Flexible Filament Nylon Filament Stone Filament Wood Filament PVA HIPS Chocolate Paste ROKIT Inc. runs its own Material Development Team to fulfill the needs that it puts its priority on providing the environment in which the users can enjoy their 3D printing with new and upgraded materials. In particular, several engineering plastics which have proudly high strength and can be used for manufacturing industry, Metal paste (silver, copper, bronze etc.), and Chocolate paste for Edison Series are manufactured in ROKIT only. Please visit our website as often as possible and meet newly added or improved materials which are optimized to desktop 3D printer Edison.

3 Metal Clay Metal Clay developed by Rokit Inc. is paste type material for 3D printing and the material is made by adding special binder to smeddum of silver, copper and bronze. Because of the property of clay type material, printed object should be fired using oven or kiln after it has been printed. Also, to print metal clay, existing extruder should be changed to the extruder which can equip syringe. Please refer to user manual for changing extruder and firing.

4 Engineering Plastic Engineering plastic is resin with macromolecule structure, which is almost as strong as steel, has chemical resistance. The material can be used for various applications including home appliances and general merchandise and most of all, helmet, or parts of camera, watch, aircraft and mobile phone use the material as its properties have excellent shockproof, wear resistance, heat resistance, cold resistance, chemical resistance and electric insulation. Above all things, the plastic is as strong as it can be used as engineering materials. Be careful of burns as set temperature will keep 350 C during printing. High-speed printing is not recommended as it may affect to the quality of printed object. POLY CARBONATE POLY ETHER IMIDE

5 PLA Filament PLA (Poly Lactic Acid) filament is non-toxic and eco-friendly material made of corn starch mainly. It is liable to crumble than ABS material but it does not crumble easily. It has less chance of cracking, bending and shrinking than ABS material when you print big and sharp design. Also, gloss surface is another property of the filament. Temperature: 205 ~ 215 C We recommend protecting the filament by wrapping it with plastic bag when storing Heat Bed Temperature: 70 ~ 80 C during rainy season or in moist place as the material is vulnerable to water.

6 ABS Filament ABS (Acrylonitrile poly-butadience Styrene) filament is material without toxic gas extracted from petroleum and one of its properties is gloss surface. It is hard but has contractibility so cracking and bending can take place while the material is being hardened, especially when printing big artwork due to the difference of cooling rate of each layer and temperature difference of newest layer with previous layer. To supplement this problem, the heated bed can be used for fine printing. Putting the PET tape onto the print bed makes more stabilized printing. Temperature: 235 ~ 250 C We recommend using ABS filament in the place where enough ventilation is Heat Bed Temperature: 145 ~ 150 C available as ABS produces its unique smell when it is extruded in closed space.

Speed: 80 mm/sec Use of nozzle of which size is 0.6mm is recommended. Wood Filament The material of the filament is a mixture of wood powder and PLA so it can express the texture and color sense of wood and the material has flavor of wood as well. The material is proper to woodcraft. Temperature: 215 C The material color is affected by the temperature, so tree ring like affects can be simulated Heat Bed Temperature: 80 C by adjusting the temperature during printing.
