Filament compatibility for the Flashforge Dreamer NX: the materials it can handle, judged from its hotend, bed, chamber and enclosure. | Filament | Suitability | Notes | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | PLA | Great | The easiest filament to print. Works on almost any printer; a heated bed helps adhesion but is not required. | | PETG | Great | Comfortably in range (PETG likes a ~230-250C hotend and a ~70-85C bed). | | TPU & flexibles | Great | The direct-drive extruder feeds flexible filament well. Print slowly for clean results. | | ABS & ASA | With care | The bed is hot enough, but ABS and ASA warp without an enclosure, which is strongly recommended for clean prints. | | Nylon (PA) | Not ideal | Not recommended - nylon needs a hotter hotend (~250-270C) and ideally an enclosure. | | Polycarbonate (PC) | Not ideal | Not recommended - PC needs very high hotend temps and an enclosed chamber. | | Carbon-fiber & glass-filled | With care | Possible if you fit a hardened or wear-resistant nozzle - the abrasive fibers quickly wear a stock brass nozzle. | ### Best filament for the Flashforge Dreamer NX Filaments the Flashforge Dreamer NX prints well, Flashforge's own first, then the best known. - [FLASHFORGE High Speed PLA](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/flashforge/high-speed-pla): PLA, 190-230 °C - [FLASHFORGE Matte PLA](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/flashforge/matte-pla): PLA, 190-230 °C - [FLASHFORGE PETG](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/flashforge/petg): PETG, 220-250 °C - [FLASHFORGE PLA](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/flashforge/pla): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Basic](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-basic): PLA, 190-240 °C - [Bambu Lab PLA Matte](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/bambu-lab/pla-matte): PLA, 190-230 °C - [SUNLU PLA](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/sunlu/pla): PLA, 190-230 °C - [Anycubic PETG](https://staging.simplyprint.io/filaments/anycubic/petg): PETG, 190-270 °C ## Compare the Flashforge Dreamer NX with similar printers - [Flashforge Creator Pro 2](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/flashforge-creator-pro-2): Compatible, 200 x 148 x 150 mm, Also by Flashforge · Similar build volume - [Flashforge Creator Pro](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/flashforge-creator-pro): Compatible, 227 x 148 x 150 mm, Also by Flashforge · Similar build volume - [Bambu Lab A1 Mini](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/bambu-lab-a1-mini): Compatible, 180 x 180 x 180 mm, Similar build volume - [Prusa Mini](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/prusa-mini): Compatible, 180 x 180 x 180 mm, Similar build volume - [Compare the Flashforge Dreamer NX with other printers](https://staging.simplyprint.io/compatibility/compare?compare=flashforge-dreamer-nx#choose) Affiliate disclosure: Some links on this page are affiliate links.
