Terms of Use

Last updated: November 14, 2026

These Terms of Use apply to everyone who visits or uses 3D Material Check (3dmaterialcheck.com). By browsing the website, using the compatibility checker or reading the guides, you accept these terms. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website.

1. What this website provides

3D Material Check is an independent informational website about compatibility between FDM 3D printers and printing materials. It offers a compatibility checker, a printer database, a material database and educational guides. The research process is described on the Methodology page.

2. Information only, no guarantee of results

Compatibility scores, statuses and recommendations are practical assessments based on the evidence available at the time of verification, mainly manufacturer documentation. They are not laboratory tests, safety certifications or manufacturer guarantees.

Real printing results depend on printer revision, firmware, installed upgrades, nozzle type, filament brand and condition, slicer settings and the room where the printer runs. A high score does not promise a successful print, and a low score does not always mean a material cannot be printed. Always confirm current requirements with the printer and material manufacturers before buying filament, modifying hardware or starting a long print.

3. Safety

Some materials covered on this website, such as ABS, ASA, nylon and polycarbonate, print at high temperatures and can release fumes or particles. Abrasive filaments can wear standard nozzles. Follow the safety instructions of your printer and filament manufacturers, keep adequate ventilation, and never leave a printer running unattended in a way its manufacturer does not allow. You remain responsible for how you operate your equipment.

4. Independence and trademarks

3D Material Check is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Bambu Lab, Creality, Prusa Research, Anycubic, ELEGOO, QIDI Tech or any other manufacturer mentioned. Product names and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify products.

5. Advertising

The website may display advertising, including ads served by Google. Ads are shown separately from the editorial content. An ad appearing on a page is not a recommendation or endorsement of the product or company advertised, and advertisers have no influence over compatibility results or guides. See the Privacy Policy and the Cookie Policy for how advertising technologies work.

6. Intellectual property

The texts, compatibility summaries, layout and original graphics of 3D Material Check are protected by copyright. You may share links to any page and quote short excerpts with a clear credit and a link to the source page. Copying entire pages, republishing the database or scraping the website in bulk to build another service is not permitted without written permission.

7. External links

Compatibility results and guides link to official manufacturer pages and other external sources so you can check the evidence yourself. Those websites are run by third parties. 3D Material Check does not control their content, availability or privacy practices.

8. Acceptable use

Do not use the website or its contact form to send spam, malicious code, abusive messages or false reports, and do not attempt to disrupt the website, its hosting or its security measures.

9. Limitation of liability

To the extent permitted by applicable law, 3D Material Check is not liable for failed prints, damaged equipment, wasted material or other losses resulting from the use of information published on the website. The content is provided “as is” and may contain errors or become outdated when manufacturers change their products or documentation.

10. Corrections and changes to these terms

If you find an error, please follow the Corrections Policy. These terms may be updated when the website changes; the date at the top of this page shows the latest version.
