How To Succeed When 3D Printing Flexible Filament

Ғылым және технология

Looking to expand your 3D printing material library? Flexible filament like TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) and PRO Series Flex, gives anyone with a 3D printer the ability to print rubber, allowing you to create complex elastic designs in your specific shape for any project or product requirements. Flexible filaments come in a variety of colors, chemical make-ups, and hardness, giving you the flexibility to apply their various properties in unique ways. Let us show you how to successfully 3D print flexible filaments.

    "PLA, ABS, or Nylon" It's 2021 yo. PETG should definitely come to mind before ABS these days. Edit: I actually retract this statement. ABS has some clear advantages over PETG in pretty much all scenarios other than chemical resistance. With printers becoming better, I think ABS has more potential to be more widely used.

    printed a lot of PETG and while it has it's advantages (and disadvantages like oozing and getting Z offset high enough and nickel plated nozzle), it still fails short to ABS in terms of temperature level it can take before melting. ABS or even better, ASA are 20 °C more temperature resistant (70 °C for PETG, 90 °C for ABS/ASA). That's a lot. Of course, if you want much higher temperature and strike resistance, CF Nylon is a way to go. Well, except for price.

    @@Joe_Yacketori it really depends on the brand of filament. Yes, ABS is ideally printed in the chamber, but the one I use from Devil Design (poland), ABS+ is really good and prints easily even on open printer. Sticks like crazy to the glass (using ABS slurry, but seems like I don't need it). No warping, no cracking. I printed even bigger parts, taller parts and layer adhesion is great. Sure, for tall narrow objects it's good idea to use Draft shield to keep heat in the area of printed object, but otherwise it's great. I would not trust to cheap ABS from chinese companies in terms of quality and printability. Nero3d has a great set of tutorials on how to print ABS - I strongly suggest to watch it. With right settings I was absolutely amazed how easily it printed. Yes, there is 100 % chance that I would be bitching on ABS if I would use other filaments but with DD brand I'm very happy. Since I print only functional parts I basically don't order PLA anymore. Will print the rest of PETG I have and done, will use only ABS+ and CF Nylon (for really serious stuff) from Innovatefil or Treed filaments (it's Luvacom german material as a source in both cases). Biggest advantage of this ABS? Due to it's lower volume weight ratio you get a LOT more of it in 1 kg spool. And spool costs about the same as PLA and is cheaper than PETG :)

    Useless I'm afraid.. because the filament is flexible.. There is no way to accurately calculate the spacing between the support and dense layers. So the support material literally just becomes part of the model

    I have good success printing sainsmart tpu on my stock ender 3. That filament is pretty stiff for tpu so that helps. I print at 210c and speed can vary depending on what I'm printing. If its a basic near solid object I do 40mm/s if its intricate with lots of opportunity for stringing I run between 15-20mm/s

    The sticky part is what contacts the bed so the not sticky side is what the filament sticks to it might sound weird to have the less sticky side or the side that you print on but almost all filaments stick well to the paper like coating of the painters tape
