FILAFLEX 95A
The Filaflex 95A ‘Medium-Flex’ is the perfect filament for converts to flexible printing.
It’s a semi-flexible elastic filament, compatible with all 3D printers on the market, including those with a bowden extruder (with tube).
This is a 1X pcs. 25gm sample for testing and comparing different shore hardness / printability / elasticity to help you find the right material for your project.
BEGIN FLEX
Filaflex 95A, 'Medium-Flex', is an elastic TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) filament, semi-flexible and very easy to print.
It has a 95A shore hardness, reaching up to 500% stretch before breaking. After stretching, it returns to its original shape, without deforming or breaking, presenting excellent mechanical properties.
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. Your 3D printer needs to be properly configured.
