The main property that makes Plexiwire FLEX filament stand out is flexibility and resistance to bending, stretching and abrasion loads. And also, this plastic has excellent adhesion, low shrinkage, resistance to aggressive substances and environments (oils, lubricants, solvents). It works in the temperature range from -40°C to +70°C, and products can be stretched 2-3 times and retain their properties.

Application
FLEX filament is used for printing protective flexible elements for machine and mechanism units, as well as oil seals and other types of sealing elements. Naturally, it is also used for prototyping rubber products. Also, any damper and vibration protection elements are printed from FLEX. Given its properties, the filament can be used to print any product, the application of which requires such a property as flexibility. For example, elements of footwear and automotive parts.
Printing Guidelines
The flexibility of FLEX plastic requires a special approach when printing.
First, it is not fast plastic. It needs to need print slowly - do not set the filament feed faster than 30 mm / s.
Secondly, if you have a bowden feed printer, it will be much more difficult to print than with a direct feed. Judging by the feedback from our customers, printing on bowden is possible, but we recommend direct feeding, which will help to avoid difficulties in work.
Third, follow the recommendations for temperature and speed, carefully adapting them to your results, because the FLEX filament is easily deformed in the nozzle. In general, we recommend using a separate nozzle for this filament - the remnants of old filaments of other types can greatly complicate the process.
Fourth, FLEX absorbs moisture well, so it is important to observe safe storage conditions. In this case, when printing, it is better to ensure that the filament moves freely without any resistance, so that the feed mechanism does not apply force and start to “pull” the material, which can cause stretching or bending.
