POM's defining characteristic is its exceptionally low coefficient of friction combined with outstanding wear resistance. Parts printed in POM are naturally self-lubricating, dimensionally stable, and resist creep under sustained load. At $23.07 per kilogram in 5 colors, it's the go-to material for mechanical and moving parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eAvailable in Black, White, Red, Silver Grey, and Steel Grey.

It's used in everything from automotive fuel systems to sewing machines. The same properties translate to 3D printing: POM gears mesh smoothly, POM bearings spin with minimal resistance, and POM slides glide without lubrication. No other FDM-printable material comes close to POM's tribological (friction and wear) performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eRecommended Print Settings\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePOM is one of the most challenging filaments to print.\u003c\/strong\u003e It requires careful attention to bed adhesion and temperature control. Use a heated bed at 110–130°C with POM-specific adhesive or a PEI sheet treated with ABS juice. Print at 200–210°C nozzle, 25–35mm\/s speed. An enclosed printer is mandatory — POM warps aggressively with temperature changes. Print with minimal cooling fan (0–20%). Start with small test parts before committing to complex geometries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003ePro Tips\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003ePOM emits formaldehyde gas during printing — always use an enclosed printer with active filtration or print in a well-ventilated space away from occupied areas. For gears, use the concentric infill pattern and 100% infill for maximum tooth strength. Design gear teeth slightly oversized (0.1–0.2mm) because POM parts tend to shrink slightly during cooling. POM-to-POM contact has even lower friction than POM-to-metal — so printing both the gear and its mating bushing in POM produces the smoothest mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eBest Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003eGears, bearings, bushings, cam followers, conveyor rollers, slide mechanisms, zipper prototypes, medical device moving parts (prototyping), robotic joint components, self-lubricating hinges, linear bearings, and any mechanical application where low friction and high wear resistance are the primary design requirements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003cp\u003eFor flexible moving parts, compare with \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/tpu-flexible-filament\"\u003eTPU Filament\u003c\/a\u003e.
