Experimental Use Disclaimer (Must Read)
TimeMass filaments are 70% water.
Yes, really. Ask ChatGPT how’s that even possible.
We make our own polymerized alcohols in-house, our materials are unique, not your dishwasher’s PVA.
Still skeptical? Good.
Our 7 patents, our partnership with Nestle, or our crowdfunding campaign could enlighten you, however nothing will replace having our filaments in your hands.

Soap - Gen 4
3D print usable soaps!
-
TimeMass Soap Gen 4 – Now With Bubbles. You're Welcome.
TimeMass Soap Gen 4 is the world’s first truly 3D-printable soap that not only cleans like a lab-engineered miracle—it actually foams. Yes. You read that right. We finally cracked the code.
Built from water, calcium carbonate, in-house polymerized alcohols, olive oil, essential oils, and a balanced mix of surfactants and emulsifiers (Coco-Glucoside and Glyceryl Stearate), this filament is part soap, part science experiment, part victory lap.
With Gen 4, we stabilized the chemistry to unleash full surfactant performance without compromising printability. The result: a bar of soap that prints like butter, foams like a show-off, and still lasts 10x longer than whatever you're buying in a box store.
What’s Inside:
Water + Alcohol – Gives it print flexibility, then hardens post-print like it means business.
Calcium Carbonate – For that gentle grit you didn’t know you loved (also in toothpaste).
Surfactants & Emulsifiers – Now optimized to actually lather, not just clean in silence.
Olive Oil – Moisturizing, luxurious, Mediterranean-approved.
Essential Oils – Fragrance, antimicrobial power, and optional spa vibes.
New in Gen 4: Bubbles. Real Ones.
After years of foam denial, we said, “Fine, let’s give the people what they want.”
And now? Lather. Suds. Foamy satisfaction.
It’s still smart. Still efficient. Still weird. Just now... it’s bubbly too.Use It Like a Mad Soap Alchemist:
Print your own soaps. Pause mid-print to inject oils, moisturizers, exfoliants—or secrets.
Embed capsules or time-release additives.
Sculpt messages into your soap. (Post-apocalyptic love notes, maybe?)
Why It Rules:
Cleans with actual foam (finally).
Printable on any basic 3D printer.
Reusable, regenerative, long-lasting.
Customizable with whatever wild scent profile you dream up.
Electrostatically attracts and removes dirt and grease like a polite molecular hitman.
TimeMass Soap Gen 4:
For people who love soap science, hate waste, and secretly always wanted a 3D printer that could make bath products. We did what the skeptics said was impossible.Now go print something that lathers.
Safety tip: Don’t go wild with undiluted essential oils. They’re called “concentrated” for a reason. Use responsibly.

Fire - Gen 2
Burnable 3D filament
-
TimeMass Fire Gen 2 is a burnable 3D printing filament made of water, wood, calcium carbonate, vinegar, in-house made and patented polymerized alcohol.
It prints fast, melts smooth, burns clean, and yes—it’s designed to ignite on purpose. Unlike traditional filaments that either melt like sad spaghetti or combust like a campfire mistake, this one burns right.
Want to print candles? Fire sculptures? Ritual objects for your post-plastic utopia? Go wild. You can even design your prints to control how they burn—fast, slow, flashy, or dramatic.
Pro tip: treat your print like a wick. Too thick? It’ll choke. Too thin? It’ll vanish. Just right? Beautiful combustion.
Need Ideas? Here You Go:
Spiral Towers – fire climbs up like it’s doing performance art.
Geometric Lanterns – pretty shapes + oxygen = dramatic collapse.
Flame Trees – fast-burning branches, slow-burning trunks.
Fire Flowers – petals curl and vanish while the stem holds the line.
Maze Prints – fire snakes through like it’s solving a puzzle.
Starbursts – spikes ignite like a slow-motion explosion.
Wavy Sculptures – dynamic flames that ripple as they burn.
You can even pause the print to drop in oils or other additives. TimeMass Fire holds them, absorbs them, and releases them mid-burn. Yes, your candle can smell like bergamot and existential closure.
Why It Matters:
Burns efficiently with minimal residue.
Prints on standard 3D printers.
Customizable burn rates.
Cleaner alternative to paraffin wax and plastic trash.
Absorbs oils and additives mid-print.
Supports sustainability without sacrificing creativity.
Basically, it’s a burnable, sculptable, programmable piece of environmental art.
Welcome to the future of fire. No paraffin. No guilt. Just combustion, on your terms. -

Light - Gen 2
The Illumination 3D filament
-
TimeMass Light - Make It Glow Without Wiring a Small City
TimeMass Light works like optical fiber… if optical fiber decided to chill out and light up everything, not just one boring line. Instead of shooting light straight through like a laser pointer at a PowerPoint, this filament scatters and diffuses it across its entire body. Translation? The whole thing glows like it knows it’s being admired.
Here’s how the magic works (without the wand):
• Microstructured diffusion:
We pack the filament with microscopic voids, sneaky shifts in refractive index, and nanoparticles that scatter light like it owes them money.
• Selective diffraction:
Unlike transparent materials that pretend to be cool and just let light pass through, TimeMass Light stays interesting—spreading the glow evenly instead of making one pixel overheat with existential pressure.
• Smart light entry:
Want it to glow properly? Cut or sand the base flat. The smoother it is, the easier it is for your LED, flashlight, or candle (yes, we make those too) to pump light inside and let it party.
Polishing the entry point isn’t extra credit—it’s how you avoid “tiny flashlight trapped in plastic cube” vibes. The flatter and cleaner the surface, the better the filament does its thing: glowing like it was born to.
⸻
Stuff You Can Do With It (That Looks Cooler in the Dark):
• Low-energy lighting: Glowing structures that don’t need 47 LEDs and a power grid.
• Wearables: Print accessories that light up your outfit and make you visible to cars and confused party guests.
• Art & signage: Want a glowing logo with no wires? Done. Just don’t spell your name wrong.
• Emergency lighting: Self-lit exit signs for power outages, low-key apocalypses, or overly dramatic basements.
• Sci-fi layering experiments: Create semi-transparent, light-diffusing structures that make it look like you’re up to something.

Plant Vitamin - Gen 2
Growth, Layer by Layer
-
TimeMass Plant Vitamin is a water-retaining, nutrient-loaded filament engineered for slow-release fertilization right from the print bed. Built with carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur—plus structured water and calcium carbonate—it lets you 3D print objects that nourish plants over time.
No runoff. No burst-release. Just sustained growth, powered by smart material design.
How it works:
Hydrophilic matrix absorbs moisture and dissolves slowly, releasing nutrients in sync with plant needs.
Water = trigger – Pods can be printed to behave like analog biological computers, using moisture to time and deliver nutrient output.
No batteries. No sensors. Just physics.
Full Nutrient Breakdown (per 350g spool):
Nitrogen (N): 10.8 g – Chlorophyll production & leaf growth
Phosphate (P₂O₅): 8.4 g – Root development & flowering
Potash (K₂O): 6.8 g – Disease resistance & overall health
Calcium (Ca): 2.4 g – Cell wall structure & nutrient absorption
Magnesium (Mg): 0.8 g – Photosynthesis & enzyme function
Core Material:
Structured Water: 70% – Boosts solubility and uptake
Calcium Carbonate: 20% – Strengthens the filament and feeds the soil
Sustained Release Design:
Nutrients are embedded within the Timeplast Plus matrix for gradual delivery
Structured water ensures efficient solubility
No leaching = no waste
Stability & Vitamin Integrity (Because Growers Actually Care):
Microencapsulation – Heat-resistant shells (sol-gel silica, melamine, urea-formaldehyde, etc.) prevent degradation during extrusion.
Vitamin Derivatives – Stable precursors like ascorbyl palmitate reactivate in soil through pH, enzymes, or hydration.
Multi-phase Composite – Core-shell architecture keeps active components cool during print.
Low-shear, thermally controlled extrusion – Custom nozzles and low-friction channels reduce heat spikes.
Water-based integration – Vitamins are solvent-bound into low-temp meltable additives, preserving potency.
Where to use it:
Urban gardening & hydroponics – Print self-feeding seed pods, planters, or nutrient spikes
Precision agriculture – Design root-zone diffusers to boost yield without runoff
Reforestation – Print biodegradable seed capsules with long-term nutrient support
Irrigation aids & smart pots – Combine watering and feeding in one functional print

Reflect & Glow
-
When it’s dark, you’ve got two options: disappear or glow like a legend.
TimeMass Reflect & Glow does both—glows in total darkness and reflects light straight back to the source when hit with headlights, flashlights, or whatever else is bouncing around out there.No batteries. No wires. Just light in, visibility out.
How it works:
Phosphorescent glow – Charges in ambient light and glows when the lights go out.
Microprism retroreflection – Reflects light directly back, so you stay visible from every angle. Like a cat’s eye, but printable.
If the glow fades? No problem. The reflection kicks in. You’re still seen. You’re still safe.
Where to use it:
Wearables – Jackets, helmets, bags—anything you want to keep visible on a night ride or rave.
Vehicles & roads – Print your own reflectors, emergency tags, or bumper warnings.
Camping gear – Tag your tent, tools, or that one zipper you always lose.
Home safety – Mark stairs, doors, or exit paths so they light up when you need them.
Creative chaos – Glowing art, hidden messages, nighttime signage... whatever weird glowing object you need in your life.
No charging cables. No nonsense.
Just a print that remembers the light and knows how to throw it back when it counts.Whether you're staying safe or just showing off, Reflect & Glow makes sure you're never left in the dark.
Need Ideas? Here You Go:
Wearable safety gear, such as jogging armbands and biking accessories.
Reflective road signs and trail markers for enhanced nighttime navigation.

Smart Nutrition
Plant Vitamin - Gen 2
-
TimeMass Plant Vitamin is a water-retaining, nutrient-loaded filament engineered for slow-release fertilization right from the print bed. Built with carbon, nitrogen, phosphorus, and sulfur—plus structured water and calcium carbonate—it lets you 3D print objects that nourish plants over time.
No runoff. No burst-release. Just sustained growth, powered by smart material design.
How it works:
Hydrophilic matrix absorbs moisture and dissolves slowly, releasing nutrients in sync with plant needs.
Water = trigger – Pods can be printed to behave like analog biological computers, using moisture to time and deliver nutrient output.
No batteries. No sensors. Just physics.
Full Nutrient Breakdown (per 350g spool):
Nitrogen (N): 10.8 g – Chlorophyll production & leaf growth
Phosphate (P₂O₅): 8.4 g – Root development & flowering
Potash (K₂O): 6.8 g – Disease resistance & overall health
Calcium (Ca): 2.4 g – Cell wall structure & nutrient absorption
Magnesium (Mg): 0.8 g – Photosynthesis & enzyme function
Core Material:
Structured Water: 70% – Boosts solubility and uptake
Calcium Carbonate: 20% – Strengthens the filament and feeds the soil
Sustained Release Design:
Nutrients are embedded within the Timeplast Plus matrix for gradual delivery
Structured water ensures efficient solubility
No leaching = no waste
Stability & Vitamin Integrity (Because Growers Actually Care):
Microencapsulation – Heat-resistant shells (sol-gel silica, melamine, urea-formaldehyde, etc.) prevent degradation during extrusion.
Vitamin Derivatives – Stable precursors like ascorbyl palmitate reactivate in soil through pH, enzymes, or hydration.
Multi-phase Composite – Core-shell architecture keeps active components cool during print.
Low-shear, thermally controlled extrusion – Custom nozzles and low-friction channels reduce heat spikes.
Water-based integration – Vitamins are solvent-bound into low-temp meltable additives, preserving potency.
Where to use it:
Urban gardening & hydroponics – Print self-feeding seed pods, planters, or nutrient spikes
Precision agriculture – Design root-zone diffusers to boost yield without runoff
Reforestation – Print biodegradable seed capsules with long-term nutrient support
Irrigation aids & smart pots – Combine watering and feeding in one functional print
The result?
Printed structures that actually feed the soil. No over-fertilizing. No chemical waste. Just controlled, water-powered nutrient delivery—designed by you.Need Ideas? Here You Go:
Self-fertilizing plant pots and holders, eliminating the need for chemical fertilizers.
Water-dispersible nutrient discs that can be buried in soil for controlled nutrient release.
Eco-friendly seedling trays that break down naturally, enriching the soil.
Hydroponic nutrient carriers, improving plant growth in water-based systems.
Custom garden markers, serving both as labels and soil enhancers.

Survival & Emergency
Fire - Gen 2
-
TimeMass Fire Gen 2 is a burnable 3D printing filament made of water, wood, calcium carbonate, vinegar, in-house made and patented polymerized alcohol.
It prints fast, melts smooth, burns clean, and yes—it’s designed to ignite on purpose. Unlike traditional filaments that either melt like sad spaghetti or combust like a campfire mistake, this one burns right.
Want to print candles? Fire sculptures? Ritual objects for your post-plastic utopia? Go wild. You can even design your prints to control how they burn—fast, slow, flashy, or dramatic.
Pro tip: treat your print like a wick. Too thick? It’ll choke. Too thin? It’ll vanish. Just right? Beautiful combustion.

Soap - Gen 4
-
TimeMass Soap Gen 4 – Now With Bubbles. You're Welcome.
TimeMass Soap Gen 4 is the world’s first truly 3D-printable soap that not only cleans like a lab-engineered miracle—it actually foams. Yes. You read that right. We finally cracked the code.
Built from water, calcium carbonate, in-house polymerized alcohols, olive oil, essential oils, and a balanced mix of surfactants and emulsifiers (Coco-Glucoside and Glyceryl Stearate), this filament is part soap, part science experiment, part victory lap.
With Gen 4, we stabilized the chemistry to unleash full surfactant performance without compromising printability. The result: a bar of soap that prints like butter, foams like a show-off, and still lasts 10x longer than whatever you're buying in a box store.
What’s Inside:
Water + Alcohol – Gives it print flexibility, then hardens post-print like it means business.
Calcium Carbonate – For that gentle grit you didn’t know you loved (also in toothpaste).
Surfactants & Emulsifiers – Now optimized to actually lather, not just clean in silence.
Olive Oil – Moisturizing, luxurious, Mediterranean-approved.
Essential Oils – Fragrance, antimicrobial power, and optional spa vibes.
New in Gen 4: Bubbles. Real Ones.
After years of foam denial, we said, “Fine, let’s give the people what they want.”
And now? Lather. Suds. Foamy satisfaction.
It’s still smart. Still efficient. Still weird. Just now... it’s bubbly too.Use It Like a Mad Soap Alchemist:
Print your own soaps. Pause mid-print to inject oils, moisturizers, exfoliants—or secrets.
Embed capsules or time-release additives.
Sculpt messages into your soap. (Post-apocalyptic love notes, maybe?)
Why It Rules:
Cleans with actual foam (finally).
Printable on any basic 3D printer.
Reusable, regenerative, long-lasting.
Customizable with whatever wild scent profile you dream up.
Electrostatically attracts and removes dirt and grease like a polite molecular hitman.
TimeMass Soap Gen 4:
For people who love soap science, hate waste, and secretly always wanted a 3D printer that could make bath products. We did what the skeptics said was impossible.Now go print something that lathers.
Safety tip: Don’t go wild with undiluted essential oils. They’re called “concentrated” for a reason. Use responsibly.

Using a Bambu Lab printer?
Click here to download our updated Bambu Lab profile. All printing parameters are fully optimized and tested—just load the file and start printing.1. Introduction
These parameters are designed to help avoid printing issues; however, temperatures and speed timings can be adjusted based on your specific goals. For example, if you prefer a less rigid result, we recommend using a lower temperature. This section outlines a complete slicing and printing profile for TimeMass Antibacterial Soap, tailored for printers with a 0.8 mm nozzle. If the print is not being successful, please lower the nozzle temperature by 10°C and start over until an optimal print is achieved.

TimeMass Light - Make It Glow Without Wiring a Small City
TimeMass Light works like optical fiber… if optical fiber decided to chill out and light up everything, not just one boring line. Instead of shooting light straight through like a laser pointer at a PowerPoint, this filament scatters and diffuses it across its entire body. Translation? The whole thing glows like it knows it’s being admired.
Here’s how the magic works (without the wand):
• Microstructured diffusion:
We pack the filament with microscopic voids, sneaky shifts in refractive index, and nanoparticles that scatter light like it owes them money.
• Selective diffraction:
Unlike transparent materials that pretend to be cool and just let light pass through, TimeMass Light stays interesting—spreading the glow evenly instead of making one pixel overheat with existential pressure.
• Smart light entry:
Want it to glow properly? Cut or sand the base flat. The smoother it is, the easier it is for your LED, flashlight, or candle (yes, we make those too) to pump light inside and let it party.
Polishing the entry point isn’t extra credit—it’s how you avoid “tiny flashlight trapped in plastic cube” vibes. The flatter and cleaner the surface, the better the filament does its thing: glowing like it was born to.
⸻
Stuff You Can Do With It (That Looks Cooler in the Dark):
• Low-energy lighting: Glowing structures that don’t need 47 LEDs and a power grid.
• Wearables: Print accessories that light up your outfit and make you visible to cars and confused party guests.
• Art & signage: Want a glowing logo with no wires? Done. Just don’t spell your name wrong.
• Emergency lighting: Self-lit exit signs for power outages, low-key apocalypses, or overly dramatic basements.
• Sci-fi layering experiments: Create semi-transparent, light-diffusing structures that make it look like you’re up to something.

Bug Killer
-
This bug-busting filament is loaded with slow-release diatomaceous earth (silicon dioxide) and built for safe, chemical-free pest control. When printed, it acts as a micro-abrasive that physically damages insect exoskeletons upon contact.
No poison. No smell. Just mechanical insect control.
How it works:
Humidity-activated release combined with rough surfaces deliver a continuous anti-insect effect.
Kills roaches, fleas, ants, bedbugs, silverfish—and keeps working for weeks.
Core Material:
Diatomaceous Earth: 35% – Sharp, fine particles destroy insect shells
Hydrophilic Matrix: 65% – Activates in moist environments for better coverage
Where to use it:
Indoor pest control – Line baseboards, under sinks, behind fridges
Garden bug shields – Safe for organic gardening (OMRI listed)
Pet-safe zones – Create custom traps or feeders

Multi Material Printing
Support - Gen 2
-
TimeMass Support is a flexible, ultra high molecular weight support filament that peels off in one clean stroke. No scraping. No dissolving. No drama.
Unlike brittle support materials that shatter like dry pasta, this one bends, flexes, and then just... comes off. Perfect for big prints, weird angles, and geometry that usually sends slicers into therapy.
What makes it different:
Flexible but removable – Bends instead of snapping, then detaches without a fight.
No cleanup – Leaves your print smooth, not scarred. No water, no solvents, no wasted time.
Geometry-friendly – Built for overhangs, bridges, and all the complicated nonsense normal supports can't handle.
Eco-conscious – No chemical baths. Just pull, toss, done. It will fully dissolve in water.
TimeMass Support gives you one less thing to fight with. Design crazy. Print smarter.
Need Ideas? Here You Go:
High-End Prototyping – Enables rapid iteration of complex designs without post-processing delays.
Consumer Product Manufacturing – Ideal for mass production where fast and easy support removal is needed.
Medical & Dental Applications – Great for printing intricate prosthetics or dental models without risk of damaging fine details.
Architectural Models – Allows for printing delicate structures that require support but need clean final surfaces.
Soft Robotics & Wearables – Facilitates the creation of flexible, multi-material parts with temporary internal supports.
Jewelry & Artistic Prints – Provides an easy way to remove supports without damaging fine engravings or tiny details.

Metal Surface - Gen 2
-
What if 3D-printed objects could look, feel, and behave like real metal—without ever needing a metal printer? TimeMass - Metal Surface is an advanced 4D printing filament that transforms polymer-based prints into metallic masterpieces with just a quick dip in water and fine metal powders.
Unlike conventional metal-infused filaments, which contain embedded metallic particles that dilute their true metal effect, TimeMass - Metal Surface actively bonds with external metals post-print. Engineered with a high-affinity polymer matrix, this filament temporarily becomes hydrophilic upon contact with water, allowing iron filings, copper, brass, or other metallic powders to interlock with its surface. As the print dries, these metallic elements lock into place, creating a high-density, conductive, and slightly ferromagnetic finish.
How It Works: A Revolutionary Surface Chemistry
⚡ Hydrophilic Activation – Once printed, the object briefly absorbs water, creating an ultra-fine microcapillary structure that pulls in metallic powders.
🧲 Metallic Interlocking – The material’s surface chemistry actively bonds with iron, copper, brass, or other metals, ensuring a strong, permanent adhesion without embedded metal particles.
🔄 Real Metal Behavior – Unlike plastic-based metallic finishes, TimeMass - Metal Surface creates a true-to-life metal appearance that interacts with light, magnetism, and oxidation just like an actual metal object.Where Aesthetics Meet Functionality
🏛️ Luxury Finishes & Industrial Design – Print stunning metallic sculptures, architectural models, or machine-like prototypes that look and feel like cast metal.
⚙️ Functional Magnetic & Conductive Surfaces – Use iron-infused finishes to create ferromagnetic parts, magnetic tool holders, or smart electrical components.
🎭 Hyper-Realistic Props & Replicas – Make high-end movie props, jewelry, or antique recreations that pass for real metal at a fraction of the weight.
🚀 Wearable & Fashion Tech – Design jewelry, watches, or metallic-textured accessories that look and behave like polished, brushed, or oxidized metals.
🎨 Custom Art & Home Decor – Develop bespoke metal-finished objects, from bronze-like sculptures to steampunk-inspired creations.
♻️ Sustainable Metal Effects – Achieve real metal looks without the need for costly, heavy, or energy-intensive metal 3D printing processes.Beyond Metal-Inspired—This Is Metal Transformed
With TimeMass - Metal Surface, 3D-printed plastic no longer looks like plastic. By combining advanced 4D material engineering with real metal bonding, this filament makes it possible to replicate the weight, conductivity, and texture of metal—all with the ease of polymer-based printing.
For artists, engineers, and visionaries seeking the power of metal without the constraints of metal printing, TimeMass - Metal Surface is the ultimate breakthrough.
Print it. Dip it. Transform it.
Iron filings is one of the best powders for this filament and you can find them on Amazon.

Paper Surface
-
What if your 3D print felt like aged parchment but held up like plastic?
TimeMass Paper Surface makes that happen. It’s a post-processing filament that lets you print tough, durable parts with the soft, organic texture of real paper.How it works:
After printing, dunk the object in water—just enough to activate the surface. Then dust it with a cellulose-based powder. As it dries, the fibers bond, giving the piece a matte, fibrous finish that looks handmade but holds up like tech.
Why it’s different:
Paper feel, polymer strength – It won’t tear, crumple, or dissolve like the real thing.
Reactive surface treatment – A water dip + powder coat = authentic texture.
No fake “grain” gimmicks – This isn’t molded plastic pretending to be paper. It is paper—on the surface.
Where to use it:
Fine art & sculpture – Print textured canvases, delicate details, or weird little relics.
Custom packaging & branding – Business cards that don’t suck, packaging that feels like it belongs in an art gallery.
Historical props & replicas – Make museum-worthy “manuscripts” that don’t fall apart.
Interior design & signage – Print lightweight panels that look hand-finished, not injection molded.
Bookbinding & paper prototypes – Covers that feel real, pages that don’t quit.
No gimmicks. No lamination.
Just that clean, warm, paper feel—built right into the print.If you want every layer to say “craft” instead of “plastic,” Paper Surface makes it happen.
Need Ideas? Here You Go:
Books, scrolls, and artistic paper-like sculptures, preserving a unique handmade aesthetic.
Paper-textured prototypes for product design and packaging concepts.
Custom greeting cards, business cards, and invitations with intricate 3D textures.
Tactile signage and educational tools, combining print durability with a paper feel.
Handwritten notebooks or calligraphy-ready sheets, offering 3D-printed permanence with a paper finish.
⚠️ Please note: the cellulose-based finishing powder is sold separately.

Texture
-
TimeMass Texture is a flexible, semi-water-soluble filament that temporarily becomes sticky upon a quick dip in water so that it can then be covered in any powder material, altering 100% of its texture, and making it a non-plastic feel print.
After successfully printing your object, submerge it in water for 2 to 5 seconds, then briefly dry it. Next, coat it with your chosen powder to create the desired texture—for example, stone powder for a stone-like appearance.
If you want a thicker texture layer, leave the object in water for a longer period and dry it less, allowing the material to absorb and retain more of the powder.
Once coated, use a paper towel to remove any excess powder. After 48 hours, you can refine the texture further with light sandpaper to achieve the final desired finish.
Surface treatment compatibility: The sticky surface can bond with fine powders, creating a textured, non-plastic finish.
Need Ideas? Here You Go:
Hyper-realistic models: Print objects, then coat them with fine materials (sand, dirt, stone powder) to create ultra-realistic terrain, fossils, or artifacts.
Naturally degradable textures: Print and coat objects with benign materials for natural-looking prototypes.
Anti-plastic aesthetic: Produce objects that feel organic by layering them with non-plastic textures like wood dust, chalk, or minerals.
Special effects & cosplay: Create lightweight, flexible armor or props that look like solid stone or metal.
Medical & ergonomic surfaces: Create handles or grips that become naturally textured when exposed to moisture, improving grip without synthetic rubber.

Scientific Exploration
Fiber
-
TimeMass Fiber incorporates sacrificial polymer technology, which enables specific portions of the material to dissolve in a controlled manner. This feature is especially valuable in 3D printed soft fabrics, due to the small diameter of the remaining fibers. It is also used for advanced manufacturing and prototyping, as it allows for internal embedded supports, temporary reinforcements, or multi-material prints that transition over time.
After successfully printing an intricate fabric-like object using our TimeMass Fiber filament, you’ll need to submerge it in water for a period directly proportional to the softness you want to achieve.
For very soft fabrics, soak the object for 24 to 48 hours, depending on its thickness. The longer it remains submerged, the more of the sacrificial polymer will dissolve, leaving behind finer and more delicate fibers.
After the water treatment, it’s crucial to properly dry the material to finalize its structure. You can air-dry it in the sun or use a food dehydrator for a controlled process. The level of drying will directly impact the final texture—the more it dries, the firmer it becomes.
Mastering this filament involves experimentation, as balancing water exposure and drying time allows you to tailor the fabric’s softness to your specific needs and creative ideas.
How Sacrificial Polymer Technology Works in Time-Mass Fiber
Dual-Phase Composition – The filament consists of a durable, fiber-reinforced phase and a strategically embedded sacrificial polymer that weakens under water.
Post-Processing Activation – After printing, the sacrificial polymer can be removed through dissolution, thermal degradation, or mechanical peeling, leaving behind the intended final structure.
Self-Optimizing Material – The controlled removal of the sacrificial polymer can reduce weight, create internal channels, or improve flexibility in certain regions of the printed object.
Enhanced Printability – This technology ensures complex geometries print more reliably by integrating internal support structures that disappear when no longer needed.
Need Ideas? Here You Go:
Structural Components – Ideal for lightweight but strong or very soft parts in aerospace, automotive, and robotics. Depending on the sacrificial treatment.
Load-Bearing Prototypes – Useful for creating prototypes that need mechanical stress testing.
Sports Equipment & Protective Gear – Can be used in helmets, padding, and high-impact sports gear.
Medical Devices & Braces – Suitable for orthopedic supports and custom medical applications.
High-Performance Tooling – Can be used in jigs, fixtures, and manufacturing tools that require resilience.
Sustainable Consumer Products – Could be applied in eco-friendly furniture, accessories, or industrial design projects.

Using a Bambu Lab printer?
Click here to download our updated Bambu Lab profile. All printing parameters are fully optimized and tested—just load the file and start printing.These parameters are designed to help avoid printing issues; however, temperatures and speed timings can be adjusted based on your specific goals. For example, if you prefer a less rigid result, we recommend using a lower temperature. This is the printing reference for TimeMass Fiber filament, tested on the Bambu Labs A1 printer, and optimized for 0.2 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, and 0.8 mm nozzles. TimeMass Fiber is more thermally sensitive and features a dual-phase structure, which emits more vapor during printing. It benefits from careful temperature ramping and reduced internal pressure. All settings are specifically optimized to reduce bubbling, fogging, and material instability. If the print fails, it is recommended to lower the nozzle temperature by 10°C and restart until optimal results are achieved. While these examples were printed with a 0.8 mm nozzle, TimeMass can be used with any nozzle size. Please check the manual for printing parameters with all the other nozzle sizes.
Temperature Settings vary by nozzle. For a 0.2 mm nozzle, set the nozzle temperature to 215°C and the bed to 60°C, optimizing for lower flow, finer bead, and less thermal stress. For 0.4 mm, use 225°C nozzle temperature and 60°C bed temperature to maintain melt uniformity for the encapsulated blend. The 0.6 mm nozzle works best at 230°C to ensure stable output for larger extrusion volumes, while the 0.8 mm nozzle should be set to 235°C, helping vapor escape from the larger filament volume without causing clogs. A textured PEI plate is required for adhesion—avoid smooth platesunless properly primed.
Cooling Settings should disable cooling for the first 3 layers to prevent fog formation under sensors. Set the fan minimum speed to 0% for the first 100 seconds to allow vapor to escape without becoming trapped. The maximum fan speed should be limited to 10–15%, preventing filament oval deformation. Keep the fan always off to avoid thermal shock and material stiffening mid-print. Do not force cooling on overhangs, and use only minimal airflow (10–15%)for structural overhangs.
Maximum Volumetric Flow varies per nozzle. For 0.2 mm, keep the flow at 1.5 mm³/s, which is sensitive to clogging due to low melt strength. For 0.4 mm, set it at 4 mm³/s, balancing for higher viscosity variance. The 0.6 mm should run at 6 mm³/s, avoiding pressure spikes and bubbles, and the 0.8 mm at 9 mm³/s, preventing vapor entrapment and melt lag. Ramming speed should be adjusted between 1–3 mm³/s depending on your purge tower strategy.
Retraction and Pressure Advance should be configured as follows: for a 0.2 mm nozzle, use a retraction distance of 0.7 mm at 20 mm/s speed, with a pressure advance of 0.04. For 0.4 mm, use 0.6 mm retraction, 18 mm/s speed, and 0.045 pressure advance. The 0.6 mm nozzle requires 0.5 mm retraction, 15 mm/s, and 0.05 advance, and the 0.8 mm nozzle performs best with 0.4 mm retraction, 15 mm/s, and 0.055 pressure advance. These values help manage off-gassing during slowdowns.
For Layer Height and Line Width, use 0.12 mm layer height, 0.18 mm initial layer, and 0.25 mm line width for the 0.2 mm nozzle. For 0.4 mm: 0.2 mm height, 0.22 mm initial, and 0.42 mm width. For 0.6 mm: 0.3 mm height, 0.32 mm initial, and 0.6 mm width. And for 0.8 mm: 0.3 mm height, 0.35 mm initial, and 0.8 mm width.
In terms of Wall, Shell, and Infill Settings, use 3 wall loops and 4 top/bottom shells for 0.2 mm and 0.4 mm nozzles, and 2 wall loops and 3 shells for 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm. Set top/bottom thickness to 1 mm for smaller nozzles and 1.2 mm for larger ones. Sparse infill density should be 30% for 0.2 mm, 25% for 0.4 mm, and 20–25% for 0.6 mm and 0.8 mm. These configurations support vapor containment inside internal zones.
Speed and Acceleration settings are as follows: For travel speed, use 100 mm/s (0.2 mm), 130 mm/s (0.4 mm), 140 mm/s (0.6 mm), and 150 mm/s (0.8 mm). Set outer wall speed to 30 mm/s, 35 mm/s, 45 mm/s, and 55 mm/s, respectively. Infill speed should be 50 mm/s to 100 mm/s, depending on nozzle size. For acceleration, print acceleration should range from 1000 mm/s² (0.2 mm) to 1800 mm/s² (0.8 mm), and travel acceleration from 2500 mm/s² to 4000 mm/s². These values are calibrated to reduce vibration and pressure surges.
For Adhesion and Brims, use 2 skirt loops to purge water vapor early. Set the brim width between 4 and 6 mm to stabilize softened edges during print start. A brim gap of 0.15 mm ensures easy release after printing.
Under Flush, Prime, and G-code, the use of a prime tower is recommended due to the heavy vapor released at the start of the print. Suggested start G-code is:
M900 K[PA] ; Pressure Advance M106 S0 ; Fan off G92 E0 G1 E15 F300 ; purge line G92 E0
Replace [PA] with the pressure advance value corresponding to your nozzle.
Lastly, parameters consistent across all nozzles include: Bed temperature of 60°C with a textured PEI bed, "Avoid crossing walls" set to ON, "Smart seam" ON, a cooling delay of 3 layers, and brim/skirt defaults remain functional. Always dry the filament before use, and it is recommended to print with the door open for optimal ventilation.

Microwave
-
What if your 3D print could change shape—expand, twist, collapse—without motors, wires, or gears? Just pure microwave energy?
TimeMass Microwave is the first-ever filament that transforms under electromagnetic radiation. No mechanics. Just heat, vapor, and smart geometry doing all the work.
Most thermoplastics ignore microwaves. Ours eats them for breakfast.
It’s made with polar molecular groups that absorb microwave frequencies (yeah, like your food does). Once activated, it heats up from the inside, triggering built-in shape changes—from slow bends to sudden inflations.
How it works:
Microwave activation – UHF radiation excites the polar molecules. Boom: internal heat.
Microfluidic expansion – embedded water vaporizes, causing controlled pressure changes.
Programmable geometry – smart design means you can decide how it transforms.
What can you actually do with this?
Morphing sculptures – kinetic art that moves with invisible waves.
Self-expanding structures – think packaging, architecture, deployable tech.
Soft robotics & smart actuators – no motors needed, just energy.
Interactive displays – things that open, bend, or animate on command.
Space tech – lightweight, compact prints that “deploy” mid-orbit.
Need Ideas? Here You Go:
Transforming sculptures and kinetic art piecesthat change under microwave exposure.
Self-expanding objects, such as soft robotic actuators or deployable structures.
Educational experiments in thermodynamics and microwave interaction physics.
Custom food-safe molds that expand slightly when heated to create precise shaping.
Biomimetic designs, inspired by nature’s shape-shifting structures.

Urn
-
The passing of a loved one is a moment of profound loss, but also an opportunity to honor their life in a way that is as unique as they were.
TimeMass - Urn is a thoughtfully crafted 4D-filament, designed to provide a respectful, beautiful, and meaningful way to create a custom urn for someone dear.
Imagine a farewell that merges remembrance with renewal—an urn that floats gently upon the water, carrying the ashes of a loved one under the night sky. As it dissolves, it leaves behind something greater: Lotus seeds, symbolizing rebirth and enlightenment across many cultures, and Kelp spores, fostering new marine life in the waters that embrace them.
Crafted from planet-neutral, water-soluble materials, TimeMass - Urn is infused with:
Lotus Seeds (Nelumbo nucifera) – representing purity, spiritual awakening, and the cycle of life.
Kelp Spores (Macrocystis pyrifera) – nourishing marine environments, sustaining underwater ecosystems.
Crushed Coral (Calcium Carbonate) – aiding reef regeneration and symbolizing eternal connection to the ocean.If combined with TimeMass Fire, Light, or Glow, you can create a one-of-a-kind urn that glows softly in the twilight, offering a final radiant tribute before gracefully dissolving into the water.
As TimeMass - Urn gently breaks down, it disperses its embedded elements to support aquatic ecosystems—a final act of giving, turning loss into renewal, and remembrance into life.
For those seeking a farewell as beautiful as the life it honors, TimeMass - Urn offers a serene, unforgettable goodbye—one that echoes in the waters and hearts forever.
Need Ideas? Here You Go:
Floating urns for ceremonies, allowing ashes to be released into natural waters.
Commemorative sculptures that gradually dissolve over time, leaving no waste.
Aquatic life-support structures, such as artificial reef foundations or eco-art projects.
Eco-conscious time capsules that release elements into the water when needed.

Iridescent Gold
-
A rainbow-catching, eye-dazzling filament that changes color depending on the viewing angle or light source. With multi-layer thin-film pigments, this filament gives a prismatic sheen to your prints, ideal for high-fashion, toys, or artistic pieces.
Color-shifting magic, engineered to shine.
How it works:
Interference pigments bend light at different wavelengths, producing a spectrum of reflected hues as you move around the object.
Light angle = color angle.
Core Material:
Iridescent Flake Complex: 28% – Ultra-thin layered pigments
Flexible Transparent Matrix: 72% – Maintains light mobility across surface
Where to use it:
Fashion accessories – Jewelry, hair clips, bags
Futuristic art – Make your prints alive with color
Display models – Eye-catching effects for collectors
Event props – Shine under LEDs or camera lights

Using a Bambu Lab printer?
Click here to download our updated Bambu Lab profile. All printing parameters are fully optimized and tested—just load the file and start printing.1. Introduction
These parameters are designed to help avoid printing issues; however, temperatures and speed timings can be adjusted based on your specific goals. For example, if you prefer a less rigid result, we recommend using a lower temperature. This section outlines a complete slicing and printing profile for TimeMass Iridescent Gold, tailored for printers with a 0.8 mm nozzle. If the print is not being successful, please lower the nozzle temperature by 10°C and start over until an optimal print is achieved.While these examples were printed with a 0.8 mm nozzle, TimeMass can be used with any nozzle size. Please check the manual for printing parameters with all the other nozzle sizes.2. Temperature Settings
