Description

FormFutura Python Flex 98A is a TPU based filament which is perfect for parts needing flexibility and elasticity. It is designed for high speed printing on both direct drive and Bowden style extruders. Python Flex 98A is a flexible filament allows itself to be stretched up to 450% before breaking and easy to print

This industrial-grade TPU is designed for mechanical applications whereby resistance to wear, tear and abrasion are important. The filament also features good resistance to chemicals and UV radiation.

Note

Python Flex is a very hygroscopic material and will attract and hold water molecules from the surrounding environment. When opened and exposed to humidity too long this can have a negative effect on the printing behaviour and quality of the filament. It is therefore strongly recommended to immediately remove the spool from the printer after printing and store it in a vacuum bag or airtight container without silica. When the filament is too wet it is recommended to dry Python Flex in an oven or filament drying machine at 65C for approximately 6 hours. Drying times can depend on how long the filament has been exposed to humidity. Python Flex is packaged in a vacuum bag with a guaranteed moisture content of less than 0,2% to ensure ideal printing behaviour and results directly after opening the spool.
