Flex 85A-Red-AzureFilm 300g

The 85A flexible filaments are made of TPU and have rubber-like properties. This means that the material is extremely flexible but also very durable. Flexible filaments are commonly used to manufacture household appliances, toys, phone cases, bracelets, automotive parts and medical supplies. If you need something to bend, stretch or compress, this thread should be up to the task.

There are different types of stiffness for the flexible filaments, denoted by numbers from 0 to 100 and letters from A to D. The material becomes harder and harder as the number or letter increases. 85A on the hardness scale means that the fiber is quite hard and can be compared to the hardness of the heel of a shoe.

Note: With a direct drive extruder you can print both types of flexible filament. However, if your 3D printer has a Bowden tube, you’ll need to do some specific fine-tuning. Bowden tube printers tend to experience jams when printing Flexible Filaments. If you have a Bowden tube, we recommend using 98A Shore flexible fibers (slightly stiffer than 85A Shore) for easier printing.

If you hear the filament cracking during 3D printing, it means the filament is wet and needs to be dried for better results. Use a drying rack for filaments like the Creality Dry Box.

Print Recommendations:

For best results, print at 220-240°C.
The recommended printing table temperature is 80°C.
Print at a slow speed of 10-30 mm/s.
Use glass base, PEI sheet

*Ideal temperature may vary when using different printers.
