PRO FLEX
Filaflex 60A is the most elastic flexible filament on the market for 3D printing with an elongation at a break of 950%!
If you thought that in flexibility you had seen everything, you were wrong. There is life beyond printing with flexible filaments with 70A Shore hardness, and it is now a reality.
Filaflex 60A 'PRO' is a flexible filament only suitable for the most 'PRO', that is, for professionals or those more experienced in printing with flexibles. It is positioned as the small and new member of the family of our brand 'Filaflex', which, despite its youth, and on its own merits, stands out for its great properties, for being the most elastic filament of all, with a SHORE hardness 'A' 60.
Like its bigger siblings (Filaflex 70A 'Ultra-Soft', Filaflex 82A 'Original' and Filaflex 95A 'Medium-Flex'), Filaflex 60A 'PRO' has the property of elasticity.
What that looks like: after stretching it returns to its original shape without deforming, as long as the elastic limit of the material is not exceeded.
In addition, it is not suitable for All Metal hotends, since the filament could get stuck and not flow properly, however, if you have any questions, contact us and we will advise you.
The flexible filaments of the Filaflex range have great print bed adhesion, so they don't need a heated bed, blue tape, Kapton tape, lacquer or any other spray adhesive.
What's more, they are odorless and resistant to solvents, acetone and fuel.
Its printing requires different guidelines to rigid filaments. That's why the 3D printer needs to be properly configured.

APPLICATIONS
Filaflex 60A is non-toxic and can be in contact with the skin. Consult for medical or food use. It can be used to create pieces that require very high elasticity such as:
– Insoles: orthopaedic insoles.
– Prosthesis and organ models: prosthetic arms, hands, organs for simulation of surgical operations,...
– Flexible objects and parts for industry, automotive: buffers, gaskets, tires, grippers ...
– Textile parts and accessories: textile garments, fabrics, printing on garments, bags, earrings,...
– Footwear: soles, shoes, sandals, slippers,...

The Filaflex works really well for my project! It responds well to the recommended bed heat settings (keeping print bed less than 40c). It also prints equally well with a .4mm and a 1mm nozzle, with no clogging at 220c. I have also experimented with different extrusion multipliers, and this filament displays noticeable changes, as expected, at multipliers ranging from 1.0 to 2.0. For best adhesion (but not over-adhesion), I have printed in the range of 20-30 (as displayed on the Creality Ender 3 S1 machine with direct drive).
