Hey everyone! Seeking advice on choosing material for 3d printing with a low coefficient of friction for moving parts. Maybe someone has any suggestions to share? thanks

Solved by Nikolaus Mroncz

Hi Andreas,

my favorite here is Nylon. It has a very low coefficient of friction.

Beside there are also some special materials. But the price difference is huge.
