Innofil3D InnoPET according to maker
I got an email from the maker of InnoPET and they did a test print on Prusa 3D i3 MK3 like this.
Bed: 75C
Nozzle: 220C
Rest of settings according to their spec:
No glue on the bed, just plain PEI-material.
From what I could see on the pictures I got it popped off when bed was cooled to room temp and so on without damageing the PEI at all.
Since I haven't got my printer yet I can't verify this yet but I thought it could be nice to share this if anyone else here is printing with InnoPET.
InnoPET seems to have lower glass transition temp of about 62C than "normal" PET/PETG.

Hello Lord-ulf-henrik-h,
I got the BASF Ultrament InnoPET as well and tried it a bit with my Prusa Mini.
I can verify the point with not damaging the PEI for a mockoff PEI-Sheet from Ali-Express
(I was cautious at the beginning and didn't want to ruin my Prusa-Sheet if sth. would go wrong 😬 )
So far it didn't and every print came of quite easy.
Prepping of the bed was just giving it a wipe with 70% alcohol.
But the problem I have with the material is that it strings like hell.
I'm printing it with the following settings after some testing with a temperature tower and a test to identify Settings against stringing:
- 205°C nozzle temperature
- 75°C bed temperature
- 5mm Retraction
- 0,1mm Z-Lift
- 80mm/s RetractionSpeed
But still I have stringing. I'm not sure if I should go lower with the temperature as it still printed with 195°C.
Feel free to leave a comment 🙂
Best regards
Simon

LOL, I was curious so I entered 'Ultrament InnoPET' into the Amazon search box and got suggestions for pooper-scoopers and pet-cams. 😉
A general DDG search also comes up mostly empty. Must not be widely available here in the States.
RE: Innofil3D InnoPET according to maker
I use this filament and I think that the correct name is Ultrafuse InnoPET . I have an MK3s and I had no issue with print bed at 75 and nozzle at 215. It is recommended to print at 210 but I had better result at 215.
RE: Innofil3D InnoPET according to maker
Ohh, sry 😳 yes, it should be Ultrafuse as nabil-m mentioned, thought I edited it out.
What is DDG?
I bought it from an offer from a german supplier, mainly for the reasons:
- it was an offer and therefore not to expensive 🙃 as I'm quite a beginner.
- The "BASF"-Brand name and the hope to get it even in 5 years+
@nabil-m hmm, strange
attached is a picture of a temperature-tower I produced today. I'm open to opinions.
Best regards

Thanks.
Matterhackers sells it here in the States, but it's way expensive.
RE: Innofil3D InnoPET according to maker
It is expensive in EU too. £35 the spool of 750gr on Amazon...
It is a good filament but you can get better or same quality for less.

True, I got it for 14,95€ for 750g from igo3D. I think this was a good offer.
In case of the none discount price it is not so cheap.
After drying the filament for 4 hours @50 ° C the Stringing was reduced noticeable but not completely. Maybe I need to dry it longer or at higher temperatures? The data-sheet says at least 4 hours @ 60°C so this will be my next try.
P.S. Can you recommend any specific filament being good & not to expensive? If you want also via PN as to not derail this thread to off-topic.
