Vinyl 303 is a high-tech filament made of commodity plastic polyvinyl chloride, also known as PVC. Thanks to its great properties, this is a perfect choice for functional prototyping, spare parts, or printing of objects for everyday use.
Features:
- Flame retardancy given by its chemical structure (naturally without additives)
- Excellent chemical resistance to oils, salts, solutions, and water
- Functionality, toughness, rigidity
- Great hardness and mechanical properties
- High impact resistance
- Low warping
- Low moisture absorption
- High density
- Safe for use in electrical and electronic equipment
- Recyclable

SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR VINYL 303
Don’t harm yourself:
• avoid breathing of toxic fumes
• harmful toxic fumes are emitted
• ventilate the room during printing
• printer with air filtration is appropriate (for example ACF filters)
• pregnant women should stay away when Vinyl 303 is processed
Don’t ruin your printer:
• don’t use stainless steel nozzle, but the brass one
• stainless steel parts may corrode
• it is better to use Bowden type of printer
Good printing results:
• nozzle temperature: 215–230 °C, don’t use higher than 235 °C
• bed temperature: 80 °C
• printing speed: 40–60 mm/s
• bed adhesive: Magigoo, PVA based glue
• minimum layer height: 0.15 mm
• control printing of first layers – if it doesn’t look well, turn off the printer and change the settings of first layer
• printing of PVC is recommended for experienced printers, not for beginners! Avoid clogging:
• first heat up the bed, after temperature stabilization heat up the nozzle
• reduce material delay in the nozzle, at elevated temperatures keep feeding or set removing of filament immediately after printing is finished
• the bed must be well calibrated – low level of nozzle may cause low flow and clogging
• clean the nozzle at the printing temperatures or lower – higher temperatures would cause clogging
