What materials can the X1E print?

This comes from four facts on its spec sheet: the nozzle reaches 320 °C, the bed 120 °C, and the machine is enclosed with a direct-drive extruder. Those four facts decide most of the list: nozzle temperature sets the ceiling on what you can melt, the bed decides whether the first layer sticks, the enclosure keeps large parts from warping, and the extruder type rules flexibles. We don't test the machine — this is guidance derived from verified data, not a guarantee.

In short: it prints PLA, PETG, TPU (flexible), ABS, ASA, Nylon (PA), Policarbonato (PC) without a fight.

  • PLAYes

    Yes. PLA has no special needs: any FDM printer like the X1E prints it out of the box.

  • PETGYes

    Yes. With a nozzle up to 320 °C and a bed up to 120 °C it comfortably meets PETG's needs.

  • TPU (flexible)Yes

    Yes. It has a direct-drive extruder, ideal for flexibles; prints TPU well (go slow).

  • ABSYes

    Yes. Nozzle up to 320 °C and an enclosure: it contains ABS's warping and fumes.

  • ASAYes

    Yes. Nozzle up to 320 °C and an enclosure: it contains ASA's warping and fumes.

  • Nylon (PA)Yes

    Yes. It reaches 320 °C and is enclosed: it prints Nylon (dry it well first). For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle.

  • Policarbonato (PC)Yes

    Yes. Nozzle up to 320 °C and an enclosure with active heating: suitable for PC. For carbon-fibre variants, use a hardened-steel nozzle.
