Gizmo Dorks Acetal Delrin Filament POM for 3D Printers, Multiple Colors

Polyoxymethylene (POM) filament is also known as Acetal or Polyacetal. Its common trade name is Delrin, used by DuPont and it is a frequently used thermoplastic for engineering specific parts. Acetal filament has high stiffness, low friction and excellent wear resistance.

It has good elastic resilience and great dimensional stability. The filament has good chemical and heat resistance. Because of its low friction, Delrin is routinely used as gear wheels, ball bearings, etc.

It has high impact resistance making it extremely durable. Please note that Delrin degrades when overheated and may give off small amounts of formaldehyde gas. Do not keep Delrin heated above 230 degrees Celsius.

Use in a well ventilated area. Delrin can be printed on a heated bed plate approximately 130 degrees Celsius covered in blue tape. Use hairspray on top of the blue tape for even better results. Some users prefer wood or cellulose based platforms to print on such as high density cardboard.
