Profiles and other slicers

Note: Other slicers, such as Simplify3D, ideaMaker, SuperSlicer and KISSlicer, aren't in our cloud, so we don't track their profiles. They may still work well with your Renkforce RF100 XL R2: check the slicer's own documentation or forums for a profile. You can also contribute profiles to our open-source slicer profile database on GitHub.

What filament can the Renkforce RF100 XL R2 print?

Filament compatibility for the Renkforce RF100 XL R2: the materials Renkforce lists for it.

Filament Suitability Notes
PLA Great On the maker's list of materials for this printer.
PETG With care Marginal - PETG prefers a hotter bed (~70-80C) than this printer reaches.
TPU & flexibles Great On the maker's list of materials for this printer.
ABS & ASA Not ideal Not recommended - the bed cannot reach the ~90-110C ABS and ASA need.
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.

Tip: this is a general guide from the printer's specs - always check your filament's recommended settings. With SimplyPrint you can save a profile for each spool and track exactly what filament you have in stock.
