Description
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 odourless 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 95A is non-toxic and can be in contact with the skin. Consult for medical or food use. It can be used to create:
