RS PRO 2.85 mm Black FLEX 45 3D Printer Filament 500 g for Fused Deposition Modelling 832-0532

RS PRO 832-0532 3D Printer Filament is a technical-grade FLEX 45 thermoplastic co-polyester filament designed for advanced fused deposition modelling (FDM) 3D printers. It features a 2.85 mm diameter and comes in black color, with a spool weight of 500 grams. Manufactured in Spain, this filament delivers excellent flexibility, layer adhesion, and elasticity for superior print results.

Highly chemical resistant and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, FLEX 45 offers a unique combination of mechanical strength and resilience. It maintains its flexibility even at low temperatures and exhibits very low moisture absorption, which is essential for consistent printing performance. The filament also produces very low odor emissions, enhancing the printing environment.

Recommended print settings include extruder temperatures between 230°C and 255°C and bed temperatures from 23°C up to 70°C, with bed preparation using hairspray or glue stick on clean glass to ensure adhesion. Print speeds should start from around 20 mm/s to accommodate the flexible nature of the material. This material is best suited for users with moderate to advanced experience in printing elastomers, as it requires a specifically built or modified extruder to handle flexibility effectively.

Storage of the filament is crucial; it should be kept with desiccants or in low-humidity environments to prevent moisture absorption which can cause printing defects. The material's bio-performance nature reduces environmental impact, making it a more sustainable choice compared to traditional plastics.

This filament is perfect for users looking to expand their 3D printing capabilities beyond rigid materials, enabling the production of durable, UV-resistant, and flexible printed items for diverse industrial, prototyping, and artisanal applications.

Manufactured from FLEX 45 thermoplastic co-polyester offering excellent flexibility and elasticity. Suitable for most common desktop 3D printers using FDM technology. Printing temperature range from 220°C minimum to 260°C maximum.

Recommended extruder temperature between 230°C and 255°C for optimal print quality. Print bed temperature range 23°C to 70°C with appropriate bed preparation such as hairspray or glue stick on glass. Good chemical resistance and mechanical durability with sustained flexibility at low temperatures.
