Summary of the process-related variables.

Variable	Description
Extruder brand	Model and company of the hot melt extruder used.
Extruder type	Number of screws that are inside the hot melt extruder chamber (i.e., single or twin-screw extruder).
Extrusion Temperature (°C)	Temperature at which hot melt extrusion was conducted, as measured by the thermocouple located at the nozzle of the extruder.
Extrusion Speed (RPM)	Speed of rotation of the screws in the chamber of the extruder.
Extrusion Torque (N.cm)	The force exerted by the rotation of the extruder screws on the powder mix.
Printer Brand	Model and company of the 3D printer used.
Printing Temperature (°C)	Temperature at which the filaments are heated and extruded through the 3D printer nozzle, as measured by the thermocouple located at the nozzle of the 3D printer.
Printing Speed (mm/s)	Speed at which the printer head moves.
Platform Temperature (°C)	Temperature of the build plate on which heated filaments are deposited on and the 3D object is made.
Nozzle Diameter (mm)	Size of the orifice through which heated filaments were extruded from on the 3D printer.
Object	Type of device that was being printed (e.g., tablet, film, etc.).
Shape	General description of the 3D geometry that was printed.
