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: Opt for a smooth plate instead of a textured one to reduce adhesion.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.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. 3D Printer Flexible PLA Filaments Spool : Previous page Next page Recommended Extrusion/Nozzle Temp: 190°C - 220°C (374℉~ 428 ℉) * Heated Bed Temp: 0°C - 40°C (32℉~ 104℉)Printing Speed 40-80mm/S * Diameter: 1.75mmDimensional Accuracy 98% Probability +/- 0.03mm * Filaments Net Weight: 1 kg (2.2 lbs)Density = 1.21-1.30 g/cm3 * Melting Point 132°C Features and Benefits from Flexible Soft and Strong PLA Filaments : FPLA Tech Spec : Ataraxia Art package has flexible PLA 1kg/2.2lb spool 1.75 mm diameter dimensional accuracy of +/- 0.02mm.

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.

Customer Reviews
I print exclusively in PETG, this goes down somewhere between what I have come to expect of PETG, and how I remember PLA going down. (Added Images to Review. Model is the Satsana Duct for the MicroSwiss hotend setup) Support was from buildplate only, model took very little cleanup as I have come to expect from any decent PETG once dialed in.I print this at between 230c and 235c depending on the part and with 30mm/s wall speeds on a lightly modified Ender 3 V2 and it goes down smoothly. 20mm/s first layer gives great results for me. Stringing is slightly less of a problem than other PETG filaments I have printed with although can still be a problem. I use 25mm/s retraction speed along with linear advance dialed in for my setup.80c on the bed with hairspray both adheres well and releases as I expect with a light sharp tap from a nylon face jewelers' hammer when the bed hits ~60c cooling off. Warping does not seem to be an issue any more than any other PETG I have used. If you get warping, drop your bed temp and use a very light mist of hairspray to help bed adhesion and release.This filament was somewhat picky with retraction settings. I ended up at 4.6mm@25mm/s along with a K-value of 2.2 with the tighter Capricorn tubing although this will vary from setup to setup. .2mm in either direction made a huge difference in stringing, as did attempting to go faster with the retractions.I got this purely because of the color. Options for purple PETG are pretty much non-existent. The color is really close to Pantone 2685C but just a little less saturated. Overall a very nice purple but not quite as deep as I originally expected. Notable, the color does not change over the entire print temp range suggested on the spool as I have seen with another purple filament I tried before.The only thing I wish they would change would be the spool design. Some other spools I have around have cutouts on the side with approximate markers to gauge how much filament is left on the spool. (I now realize this seems to be a master spool, but with no bundled filament options available to refill it with.) This cutout in other spools is immensely helpful in quickly judging whether I can safely start a large print with a spool without having to remove it from the printer to weigh. Not a negative, other spool designs are simply nicer. The vacuum bag is a pretty nice bonus and can easily contain 2x 1KG spools of PETG and holds a seal really well.As long as this stays under $20 a spool I will probably keep buying it. If it goes any higher, I will stick with my go to filaments I stay stocked up on. Pricing has already gone up $1 on here since I bought my single spool 2 weeks ago however I am sure I got it at introductory pricing. I wish this color was available directly from Ataraxia Art, however I can only find it on here with the markup that comes from this platform.TL;DRSettings I can share25mm/s retraction speed (tune distance to your printer)230-235c nozzle30mm/s speed for walls20mm/s first layer~60% part cooling after first few layers to combat stringingIF <$20USD/kg: 5/5 starsIF $20-23USD/kg: 4/5 stars (where I'd consider it too pricey to justify regularly)IF >$23USD/kg: 2/5 stars (this would be too pricey given the filament has no special properties compared to any decent consistent PETG I keep in my personal stock)April 7, 2021 Pricing was $17.49 USD per kg, April 25, 2021 Pricing is now $18.49 USD per KG.
