  Hi David,

  Thanks for joining the forum.
  The NUPBOX is capable of printing Polypropylene. However, a print platform coated with Polypropylene tape or MagigooPP will be required. I recommend using MagigooPP for more reliable results.
  Once you have the filament and suitable platform adhesive, please book a consultation with me to configure a new profile so we can add PP to the list of filament presets for the NUPBOX.

  We recently used this machine to cut shapes out of XPS foam, AKA ‘blue board’. The working piece was approx 1000mm on the wire axis.

  These settings seemed to work the best for smoothness of cut:

  Parameter Value Material XPS Foam Material Size 1000mm on wire axis Feed Rate 350mm / min (F350 in G code) Wire Power 55V / 3A Wire Diameter 0.4mm Kerf Size 1.0mm

  Adjusting drawings for kerf is critical to getting the correct piece size. There did not seem to be a kerf feature in the hotwire controller or vector linker software so we added this manually to a solidworks drawing using the ‘offset entities’ sketch tool.
