Summary of Differences by Material Line

• ABS: Tough, heat-resistant, print temp 220 -250 °C, enclosure recommended.
• Standard PLA: Biodegradable, easier printing at 190 -230 °C, bed at room temp.
• PLA Plus / Hyper / Premium: Enhanced strength, higher heat deflection, better adhesion.
• Silk PLA+: Adds shiny, silky surface finishes with PLA Plus’s mechanical benefits.
• PETG, TPU, SBS, PETG Speed, etc.:  - each aligned with their typical printing settings; all share core packaging specs.

Codes like SAF-ABS PRE-A05, SAF-PLA HYP-A06, SAF-PLAPLUS-C03, etc., correspond to specific colors or variants within the respective material lines-e.g., PLA Plus Chrome Orange or ABS Premium Matte Red. While the base specifications (weight, spool, diameter, print settings) are consistent across these SKUs, colour, finish (matte, silk, chrome), and potentially bed adhesion additives make each variant unique.
