Polymaker Panchroma CoPE Drab Green 1.75mm 1kg Filament Spool

What is Panchroma CoPE?
Panchroma™ CoPE (Previously called Panchroma™ Regular) is a new experimental product that is not PLA - it is CoPE: a copolyester-based material. It prints with very similar settings as PLA but can achieve better overhangs at faster speeds.

That said - it does not stick to PLA very well and therefore should not be combined with other Panchroma™ PLA Products in a single print. It also sticks very well to textured PEI plates, therefore we only recommend using Panchroma™ CoPE with a textured PEI plate if used with Magigoo Original.

Any tips to help reduce the material from sticking too well to the build plate?
Panchroma™ CoPE has had complaints from users of it sticking too well to textured PEI build plates. It seems this is unique to textured PEI plates only.

We suggest using Magigoo Original or Vision Miner Nano to help parts release easier.

Does this material produce harmful VOCs?
We do not have much for this as of yet but we we always recommend proper ventilation no matter the material you are printing.

From our minimal testing - CoPE VOCs is almost identical to PLA.

How difficult is CoPE to sand?
Sanding CoPE is similar in difficulty as sanding PLA - meaning it is not very easy to sand. If you need an easy to sand material we would suggest CosPLA instead.

Is this material food safe?
Unfortunately we do not have any data whether this material is food safe. As of now, no 3D printing material on the market is FDA food safe compliant. This is because in order to be certified as food safe, the actual object needs to be certified and not the base material. The shape, bed used, environment the object was made, and much more goes into getting a food safety certificate. As of now there is no real certification that the FDA offers for 3D printing.

Is this material AMS compatible?
Yes! All Panchroma™ spools now have hardened edges that roll great in the AMS. That said - you should only be printing it with other Panchroma™ CoPE spools.

Do you sell refills?
We are sorry but we do not sell refills at this time

Is this material recyclable?
Unfortunately there is no great answer for recycling CoPE at this time. Our cardboard spools are biodegradable but there is no great way to recycle CoPE at this time.

Can I mix and match effects into a single HueForge print?
This material will not mix and match with other Panchroma™ effects very well and should only be mixed with other Panchroma™ CoPE spools.
