As the name suggests, wax-like filament has the properties of "wax" and can be used for lost wax and investment casting. The printing temperature range is 170-180°C, and PLA settings can be used as a reference. Moldlay and other 3D printing filaments do not differ significantly in their final product; the most distinctive feature is that when heated to 270°C, Moldlay transforms into a fluid with ultra-low viscosity. This property allows Moldlay to flow out of the mold easily. A regular oven can reach this temperature, so there is no need to purchase additional heating equipment. Other 3D printing filaments also melt when heated, but their high viscosity makes molds difficult to clean. Increasing the temperature can cause ordinary 3D printing filaments to burn completely, but it may also produce toxic gases~
