Genmitsu GT-3 High Flowability Black Flexible PLA Filament 1.75mm 1KG
🖨️ Printer Preparation
🧹 Clean and level the print bed. Use adhesives like glue sticks or painter's tape to improve bed adhesion. Adjust the nozzle height to the recommended distance from the bed.
🔥 Temperature
🌡️ For Flowability Flexible PLA filament, print at 190°C – 230°C for the extruder and 40°C – 60°C for the print bed.
🛠️ Post-Processing
❄️ Once printing is complete, let the print cool before removing it from the bed. Flexible PLA filament is more flexible when cool. Use a spatula or other tools to remove the print carefully. Clean any support material residue as necessary.
⚙️ Fine-Tune
🔧 Experiment with temperature, speed, and flow rate to achieve optimal results for your printer and filament combination.
🤝 High Compatibility
Compatible with Bambu Lab X1/X1C and P1P, AnkerMake M5, Voron 2.4, Flsun V400, Creality K1/K1 Max and Ender 7, QIDI X-Max3/X-Plus3/X-Smart3, Raise 3D Pro 3 and RMF500.
🌟 Great Printability
-
🔥 Lower Print Temperature: Flexible PLA generally prints at lower temperatures compared to TPU, reducing risks of overheating or clogging.
-
🧵 Less Stringing: Flexible PLA is less prone to stringing or oozing, resulting in cleaner prints.
-
📐 Less Warping: More stable than TPU for larger or taller models.
-
🖇️ Easier Bed Adhesion: Flexible PLA adheres more easily to print beds, reducing the need for special adhesion aids.
-
⚡ Lower Extrusion Force: Requires less extrusion force compared to TPU, beneficial for printers with weaker extruders.
ℹ️ Note: Printing ease varies by brand and formulation. TPU can also be printed successfully with proper calibration, but requires more careful adjustments.
✅ If ease of printing is a priority, Flexible PLA is often the more straightforward choice, especially for printers with direct extruders.
