Product Description

USE FOLLOWING PARAMETERS TO PREVENT STRINGING & BAD ADHESION

ender 3 3d printer coral tpu filament container flexible splicer pens adults mender dry box foaming

At Ataraxia Art in Katy Texas we're a family-owned & operated 3D printer filament business, driven by creativity & a commitment to quality. We use the finest raw materials to ensure game changing products & support

"Great things come from hard work & perseverance – follow your dreams"- ATARAXIA ART

IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND FLEXIBLE PLA (FPLA) CHEMISTRY:

Flexible PLA is primarily made out of polylactic acid. Flexible PLA Filament is very soft and flexible in nature. Due to this nature they can be bend 6 times more then any regular PLA.

Q) If its pulled out very hard from Spool , if the friction is very high- the diameter of filament may change from 1.75mm and it can become thinner to as much as 1.65mm.

What are the alternatives?

A) If the Filament is stretched for any reason like blockage, stuck in Extruder etc. that portion of the filament is permanently deformed & cannot come back to its original shape. It is recommended to cut the stretched portion of the filament & start with the new string from the roll.All our Flexible PLA goes through special Auto Winding process & Quality control check to maintain their chemical properties intact and maintain 1.75mm diameter.

Q) Moisture absorption resistance of FPLA+ Filament

· Since Flexible PLA+ (FPLA+ ) comes from the PLA family and since it is soft, it will easily absorb moisture. To help the Customer maintain in dry stage, Ataraxia Art has provided each filament reel with its latest V2 Vacuum bag which can easily store two filament reels. We strongly recommend that the filament be kept in the vacuum bag immediately after its use and not be kept outside. · If the humidity in the filament persists, it is recommended to dry the filament at 50 deg C for 2 to 3 hours and then use it for best results.

Tips for Minimizing Adhesion to the Build Plate in FPLA Printing:

  1. Opt for a smooth plate instead of a textured one to reduce adhesion.
  2. Increase the nozzle-to-plate distance to a range of 0.3-0.4mm, as the standard 0.2mm spacing tends to result in stronger adhesion.
  3. Print the initial 4-5 layers of your model on the plate. After completion, heat the plate to 90 degrees to facilitate easy removal of the model.

Tips & Solution To Print Flexible PLA

Issue 1) The Filament is adhering a lot. This stuff adheres too well to textured PEI treated beds. The bottom layer is difficult to remove and stretches leaving a white colored texture on the print.

Solution 1) Ataraxia Art recommends using PVB globe in the plate or lower the print temperature to 180C to 190C. You can also use a small layer of baby powder on the bed as well.

Issue 2) The FPLA is stringing and oozing.

Solution 2) Stringing is related with Nozzle size and moisture absorption.

Nozzle Size: Some printers can print Flexible PLA (FPLA) very well with 0.4 mm Nozzle size. However most Extruders are designed to print hard Filaments like PLA, PETG and ABS hence they cannot print flexible Filament like FPLA or TPU very well. Ataraxia Art recommends to use a 0.5 or 0.6 mm nozzle size. Nozzle temperature is recommended to be kept at 190 to 200 deg C.

Filament Dryness: Ataraxia Art recommends to ensure that the filament is kept dry devoid of any moisture absorption. Immediately after use please keep the filament in the Vacuum bag provided by us. If possible dry the filament to 50 to 60 deg C before use.

Issue 3) Priting issue with bowden extruder.

Solution 3) The melting point of fpla is 135 deg C and it start becoming softer at 55 deg C. The printer may have cooling system issue while heating the nozzle and the high temperature will go up too along with heating the nozzle and try to trasfer the heat to filament. So once the filament is heated, please open the fan to make the motor cool and do not let the heating transfer to the filament.

Issue 4) Does FPLA works with Bambu Lab Printer?

Solution 4) Step 1, Select Bambu lab TPU filament parameter. Step 2, Change the printing temperature to :200-210℃. Step3, Max volume speed: 3.6mm³/s. Fan: Model 70%; Printer: 70-100% Important: Please Keep the door open until printing finish.

Little bit harder than normal TPU
4 Stars
Little bit harder than normal TPU
But this is very beautiful color and it prints much better than other TPUs that I've used and asks for a cool plate. If you print this on warm plate even at 30C, it will not come off. It was hard to remove even at room temperature plate.On the other hand the supports came off beautifully and the print is detailed. Layer adhesion is mediocre so it lost one star. Other than that I'm keeping it because it's so beautiful material

2.0 out of 5 stars I got poor quality
Reviewed in the United States on May 16, 2021
The bed adhesion was good, which is kind of the only thing I can say about this. I got flesh tone filament to make a ball jointed doll as a nice birthday present for a friend. The first layer printed fine so I walked away. I had to redo several parts of the doll because there were random black bits in the print. When I noticed them at first I thought my nozzle was just dirty from prior prints (I had a bad habit of just jumping into new prints right away with no real maintenance in between). I cleaned the nozzle and the next part came out good so I thought the problem was solved. Luckily most of the next black blobs were either in the middle of prints where I couldn't actually see them or on the raft and supports. I really noticed the black bits when I took the spool off thinking it already needed to be dried before I could use it again due to it popping.

5.0 out of 5 stars Colors are off a bit but very cool
Reviewed in the United States on January 20, 2024
The colors of my role do not match the pictures but close enough . There could possibly be a tangle by just looking at the role. But hopefully not. Prints like any normal PLA but my concern is having tangles in there. Time will tell, I can’t recommend it right now until I print a large model. started a 18 hour dragon print and the print failed because of a tangle so make sure to inspect it before printing .

Update.... i ordered a replacement because the first one got stuck. the second one printer beautiful. i am updating my review to 5 stars. the seller did reach out at least so they do care about their customers.
