Filaments with a fourth dimension.
Ordinary filament makes shapes. TimeMass makes shapes that act: clean, feed, glow, burn, filter or generate electricity, then dissolve on schedule. Made in-house, 70% water, from our own proprietary version of polyethenol; Ø 1.75 ± 0.15 mm. Designed by String Cubed, made and sold by Timeplast.
“These might be the most interesting filaments ever made.” Zack Freedman, Every 3D Filament Part 7

One profile, every spool.
TimeMass prints on standard FDM printers. Use a 0.8 mm nozzle and a CryoGrip blue plate; dry the spool before use. AMS-style pulling systems work with TimeMass. Our GPT assistant answers model-specific questions.
- Nozzle
- 0.8 mm
- Nozzle temperature
- 220 to 240 °C
- Bed temperature
- 75 °C with the CryoGrip blue plate; 95 °C with no plate or a regular textured plate
- Layer height
- 0.3 mm (first layer 0.35 mm)
- Brim
- 6 mm
- Drying
- Always dry the filament first: 55 °C (131 °F) for 24 to 48 hours, and store it with desiccant
- Diameter
- Ø 1.75 ± 0.15 mm
TimePen
A handheld extruder tuned for TimeMass. Draw soap or bait by hand. Bundles from $30 with a filament included.

These filaments are experimental. They are for industrial and commercial use only after independent verification for each application, and customers must prototype and certify their own product as required by law. Ventilate, follow the profile, keep Fire prints supervised, and keep detergent prints external-use only. Dissolution depends on water flow, temperature and thickness.
