Using a Bambu Lab printer?
Click here to download our updated Bambu Lab profile. All printing parameters are fully optimized and tested—just load the file and start printing.These parameters are designed to help avoid printing issues; however, temperatures and speed timings can be adjusted based on your specific goals. For example, if you prefer a less rigid result, we recommend using a lower temperature. This is the printing reference for TimeMass Fiber filament, tested on the Bambu Labs A1 printer, and optimized for 0.8 mm nozzle. TimeMass Fiber is more thermally sensitive and features a dual-phase structure, which emits more vapor during printing. It benefits from careful temperature ramping and reduced internal pressure. All settings are specifically optimized to reduce bubbling, fogging, and material instability. If the print fails, it is recommended to lower the nozzle temperature by 10°C and restart until optimal results are achieved. Please check the manual for printing parameters.
Temperature Settings 0.8 mm nozzle should be set to 235°C, helping vapor escape from the larger filament volume without causing clogs. A textured PEI plate is required for adhesion—avoid smooth platesunless properly primed.
Cooling Settings should disable cooling for the first 3 layers to prevent fog formation under sensors. Set the fan minimum speed to 0% for the first 100 seconds to allow vapor to escape without becoming trapped. The maximum fan speed should be limited to 10–15%, preventing filament oval deformation. Keep the fan always off to avoid thermal shock and material stiffening mid-print. Do not force cooling on overhangs, and use only minimal airflow (10–15%)for structural overhangs.
Maximum Volumetric Flow 0.8 mm at 9 mm³/s, preventing vapor entrapment and melt lag. Ramming speed should be adjusted between 1–3 mm³/s depending on your purge tower strategy.
Retraction and Pressure Advance should be configured as follows: the 0.8 mm nozzle performs best with 0.4 mm retraction, 15 mm/s, and 0.055 pressure advance. These values help manage off-gassing during slowdowns.
For Layer Height and Line Width, 0.8 mm: 0.3 mm height, 0.35 mm initial, and 0.8 mm width.
In terms of Wall, Shell, and Infill Settings, 20–25% for 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm. These configurations support vapor containment inside internal zones.
Speed and Acceleration settings are as follows: For travel speed, use 100 mm/s (0.2 mm), 130 mm/s (0.4 mm), 140 mm/s (0.6 mm), and 150 mm/s (0.8 mm). Set outer wall speed to 30 mm/s, 35 mm/s, 45 mm/s, and 55 mm/s, respectively. Infill speed should be 50 mm/s to 100 mm/s, depending on nozzle size. For acceleration, print acceleration should range from 1000 mm/s² (0.2 mm) to 1800 mm/s² (0.8 mm), and travel acceleration from 2500 mm/s² to 4000 mm/s². These values are calibrated to reduce vibration and pressure surges.
For Adhesion and Brims, use 2 skirt loops to purge water vapor early. Set the brim width between 4 and 6 mm to stabilize softened edges during print start. A brim gap of 0.15 mm ensures easy release after printing.
Under Flush, Prime, and G-code, the use of a prime tower is recommended due to the heavy vapor released at the start of the print. Suggested start G-code is:
M900 K[PA] ; Pressure Advance M106 S0 ; Fan off G92 E0 G1 E15 F300 ; purge line G92 E0
Replace [PA] with the pressure advance value corresponding to your nozzle.
Lastly, parameters consistent across all nozzles include: Bed temperature of 75°C with a textured PEI bed, "Avoid crossing walls" set to ON, "Smart seam" ON, a cooling delay of 3 layers, and brim/skirt defaults remain functional. Always dry the filament before use, and it is recommended to print with the door open for optimal ventilation.

What is TimeMass Fiber?
It's a version of our filaments which is made of a composite Timeplast material, consisting of:
• Core or Microfibers as Structural
Component:
These are durable, flexible strands embedded within the filament. They act as the final "yarn" or fabric structure.
• Matrix or Outer Material as the Sacrificial
Polymer: Surrounding the structural fibers, the sacrificial polymer serves as a temporary binding material, holding the microfibers in a specific shape during the 3D printing process.
This dual-material design within a single filament eliminates the need for a separate support material, simplifying the printing process and making it possible to achieve very thin fibers
When you print with this filament:
Layer Formation: The filament is deposited in layers, with the sacrificial polymer temporarily binding the fibers to maintain the desired geometry and tension until post-processing.
During printing, the sacrificial polymer:
• Supports intricate designs and fine fiber orientation, acting as scaffolding during the build process.
• Provides enough structural integrity to enable overhangs or complex shapes without collapsing.After printing, the object undergoes a sacrificial polymer removal process:
• The sacrificial polymer is engineered to dissolve or disintegrate when exposed to room-temperature water.
• As the sacrificial polymer dissolves, it leaves behind only the structural fibers, which are now loosely interwoven or patterned to create a fabric-like material.
• The final printed object has to be dried out (for example in a food dehydrator) up until it achieves the desired final texture.
The remaining structure:
• Retains flexibility and softness because the fibers were embedded in a precise pattern, mimicking woven or knitted textiles.
• Has microvoids and interconnected fiber networks where the sacrificial material was removed, enhancing breathability and softness. The final product achieves fabric-like properties because:
• Fiber Orientation: The structural fibers remain in a pattern that mimics traditional fabric weaving, providing flexibility and drapability.
• Tunable Thickness and Texture: By adjusting the sacrificial polymer-to-design ratio and the printing pattern, the properties of the resulting fabric can be tailored for softness, elasticity, or even stretchability.
• Porosity: The dissolution of the sacrificial polymer creates spaces between the fibers, allowing the fabric to feel light and breathable.
• Applications:
- Fashion: Soft, customizable 3D-printed fabrics for garments with intricate patterns and dynamic properties (e.g. shape memory or therma adaptability).
- Medical: Biocompatible fabrics for bandages, surgical meshes, or wearable sensors.
- Soft Robotics: Lightweight, flexible materials for artificial skins or soft robotic components.
- Eco-Friendly Textiles: Fully recyclable or biodegradable fabrics due to the innovative polymer chemistry of Timeplast.
Please note: Our filaments are not vacuum-sealed, as they require drying before printing regardless of packaging. In line with our mission to eliminate plastic waste, we use 100% plastic-free packaging. Vacuum-sealed packaging is single-use and highly polluting, and goes against the environmental principles that guide everything we do at Timeplast.
Ambient humidity actually keeps them in perfect condition, giving them an unlimited shelf life. Unlike conventional filaments, which dry out over time, become brittle, and lose their thermoplastic properties, our filaments are specifically engineered to remain in optimal condition for decades—as long as they are exposed to normal humidity.
In all honesty, with TimeMass you won’t just print objects—you’ll print experiences. Think about it. By introducing a new programmable dimension, your designs don’t just sit there. They evolve. Shift. Light up. Soap up. Grow up. Phase out. Disappear and more. You’re actually building moments.
Precision? Built In.
Making a filament with Timeplast is not easy, not at all. We can’t use automated machines for example. Each spool is handcrafted, here in the U.S. and monitored by a human for over a 49-minute cycle per spool. That’s not mass production—that’s obsessive accuracy.
Specs That Actually Matter:
Diameter: 1.75mm
Mass: 0.77lb
Compatibility: Works with all major 3D printers. No drama.
True timed obsolescence
Use filaments with built-in "time codes" like Active, Delayed or Passive to make your prints transform, separate, or self-destruct on schedule. Whether it’s art, function, or straight-up sci-fi—if you can print it, you can make it move.
Water Molecular Disintegration – Print Today, Gone Tomorrow
Yes the words “Molecular Disintegration sounded like something that ChatGPT would say, but no, it’s the only way to explain how our materials dissolve in the presence of water down to a Carbon-to-carbon level. TimeMass breaks down at the molecular level when exposed to water. That’s not marketing—it’s chemistry. Smart materials that serve their purpose, then step aside. Clean, conscious, and built for next-gen applications.
