PLA, due to its properties and versatility, is the preferred material for printing the NautiNap napkin ring. As a biodegradable and environmentally friendly material, PLA is an excellent choice for home users, offering easy handling during printing. The variety of available PLA filaments makes the NautiNap a true playground for creatives.

Wide Color Selection: PLA filaments are available in an impressive range of colors. From classic shades to vibrant and striking colors, PLA offers a broad spectrum to meet every design imagination.

Matte PLA Filaments: For an elegant and understated look, there are matte PLA filaments. These offer a velvety surface that highlights the NautiNap, especially in a dignified ambiance.

Gradient Color Filaments: For those who desire a more dynamic and unique appearance, gradient color filaments are an excellent choice. These filaments gradually change their color during the printing process, resulting in breathtaking and unique patterns.

Silk-PLA: Silk-PLA provides a metallic shine and smooth surface, transforming the NautiNap into a luxurious decorative piece. Ideal for special occasions or as a gift.

The following printing settings are intended for a 0.4 mm nozzle:

• Wall Generator: preferably Arachne
• Walls: 3
• Bottom Layers: 5
• Top Layers: 5
• Infill: 15%
• Ensure Vertical Shell Thickness: On

These settings can be easily found and adjusted in most common slicing programs such as Cura, PrusaSlicer, or BambuStudio/OrcaSlicer. They ensure a robust structure.

Depending on the chosen material, it may be necessary to print a brim. This helps to improve the adhesion of the parts to the build plate and to prevent warping.
