...Why 2.85mm?
Higher Flow Rates
The larger diameter allows for higher volumetric flow rates, enabling faster printing with larger nozzles.
More Forgiving
The stiffer filament path is more resistant to grinding and bowden tube friction, improving reliability.
Industrial Heritage
Preferred by professional machines from Ultimaker and Lulzbot, built for reliability in production environments.
