Sample Size: 

  • Samples are a great option for trying out a new material, color or when comparing different testing parameters of similar options
  • Samples vary in weight as different materials have different densities and generally range from 18-40 grams as packaged from Poland

Key Features:

  • Flexible and durable- prints designed with Fiberlogy PP (polypropylene) in mind can be some of the most durable prints achievable with todays materials
  • The molecular structure and raw materials gives PP excellent adhesion between print layers when printing
  • No fumes or odors- ideal for printing at home or small spaces where high levels of ventilation are not accessible
  • Non-toxic and suitable for contact with food- Prints created with proper printing parameters can even withstand household dishwashers and sanitization cleaning cycles making polypropylene kitchen items a huge advantage for food/kitchen prints (e.g. cookie cutters)
  • Engineered and created in Poland using highly specialized machinery and carefully selected raw materials

Strength and Flexibility

Polypropylene (PP) is one of the most commonly used polymers in industry. Its high flexibility, incredible durability, low weight and resistance to chemicals have meant that it has found countless applications from medicine, through the automotive industry to the packaging industry.

Fiberlogy PP filament has tapped the potential of this incredible material and made it possible to use in 3D printing.

The impressive tensile strength makes polypropylene perfect for producing elements that require durability while maintaining flexibility such as lockable containers, handles, etc. It is successfully used in both advanced engineering projects and at home.

Polypropylene is recyclable, which is why printouts and printer scrap can be segregated with other garbage and recycled, which perfectly reflects the spirit of the idea of “zero-waste”.

Printing Ideas and Applications:

  • Daily Use Items: boxes with closures, hangers, handles, fasteners, watch straps
  • Motorizations: bumpers, covers
  • Toys: figurines, cars / car parts, drones
  • Kitchen Articles: food containers, dishes, cups, etc.
  • Medicine: test tubes, laboratory vessels

 How to print?

  • Print temperature: 220-250°C
  • Bed temperature: 0-80 ° C 
  • Closed chamber: not required
  • Fan: 0-25%
  • Print speed: 35 mm/s
  • Retraction: yes, 2-3 mm
  • Raft: recommended

*We recommend the use of a bed adhesive when printing with polypropylene.

Net weight : Approximately 50gm per Sample
