Magigoo Pro FLEX for thermoplastic rubbers (TPU, TPE, TPC)

Magigoo Pro Flex is designed for professional use to work exclusively with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), TPE (thermoplastic elastomer and TPC (thermoplastic copolyester) filaments. The part should be relatively easy to remove after cooling and the adhesive residue should also be easy to remove.

WHY:

TPUs, TPEs/TPCs describe a group of polymers sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers. Thermoplastic rubbers exist as co-polymers or a polymer blend, usually of a plastic and a rubber. This gives them both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. As a result, these materials have the advantage that they can stretch to medium elongations and return to their original shape.
In addition, these materials have very good thermal properties, material stability, chemical resistance and are cheaper to produce. As a result, these materials are in high demand in industrial applications.
Some flexible filaments have lower adhesion to conventional 3D printing build surfaces and a high tendency to warp. Others tend to adhere too well to bare 3D printing surfaces such as glass and PEI. Magigoo Pro Flex is a specialised solution for FDM printing of flexible filaments, designed to work with a wide range of flexible filament types. Magigoo Pro Flex acts as an intermediate layer between the build plate and the printed part, enabling good adhesion and facilitating the removal of prints when required.



HOW:

Magigoo Pro Flex has been developed and tested to work with a variety of flexible filament brands.

SAFETY:

Using this product with anything other than flexible filaments may cause over-adhesion and damage your build surface.



Tips:

A 20mm margin is recommended for larger prints and high shrink rate filaments.

In case of excessive adhesion, it is recommended to wet the print bed with a small amount of water and work it slowly under the part to facilitate the removal of the part.
