Basic info
Ultem, also known as PEI (Polyetherimide), is a high-performance thermoplastic material ideal for 3D printing. Its extreme resistance to heat and chemicals makes it an excellent choice for demanding applications. With a temperature range from -70°C to over 200°C, Ultem offers high stability and strength across a wide range of environments. While it requires stable printing conditions and specialized equipment, the results are precise and durable. Ultem is particularly suitable for the automotive, aerospace, medical device industries, and prototyping, handling the challenges of even the most demanding environments.
Chamber Temp: 85-90 °C
Bed Temp: 150-155 °C /145 - 155 °C in our Handbook - need to verify

Tips for successful printing
Clean and calibrate the printer.
Use a drybox to keep filament dry.
Speed: Slower than usual.
Adhesion: 2-3 layers of Magigoo HT, use a brim.
Use a brim to enhance adhesion.
Monitor the print closely.
Remove print quickly to avoid stress.
Remove supports while warm.
