3dkTOP is printable on most FDM printers. The only requirement is to reach a minimum printing temperature of 230°C (you can find a list of printers which cannot print kTOP at the end of this article).
The printed object must be post processed inside of a convection oven to activate the high-temperature properties. The process heats the printed object completely and it has to be cooled down gently (turn off the oven but leave the door closed!). The tempering process changes the properties of the materials fundamentally due to building a partially crystalline structure. Afterwards kTOP will become slightly softer at about 100°C, but it stays in shape and remains loadable.
kTOP´s glass transition temperature is reduced to a minimum, this means it doesn´t get softer with higher temperatures. kTOP melts at 245°C which results in low viscosity. Tempering also improves solidity.
