Tips for 3D Printing with FiberFlex 30D

Printing with flexible filaments can present certain challenges, especially for beginners. Here are some tips to help you achieve the best results when working with Fiberlogy FiberFlex 30D:

  • Use a direct drive extruder - it provides better control over the flexible filament feed and reduces the risk of twisting or jamming.
  • Print slowly - the print speed for FiberFlex 30D should be significantly lower than for rigid materials (no more than 35 mm/s is recommended).
  • Minimize retraction - flexible materials respond poorly to long retractions, so it's recommended to reduce the retraction distance to 1-2 mm when using a direct extruder.
  • Disable retraction when using a Bowden extruder - if your printer is equipped with a Bowden extruder, it's better to completely disable retraction and set up a print mode without stringing using other methods.
  • Increase the flow rate - flexible materials often require a slight increase in flow rate (up to 105-110%) to fill all voids.
  • Ensure good bed adhesion - use adhesives such as 3DLAC for secure attachment of the first layer.
  • Dry the filament before printing - flexible TPU-like materials are hygroscopic and can absorb moisture from the air, which negatively affects print quality. Drying at 60°C for 4 hours before use is recommended.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) about Fiberlogy FiberFlex 30D

The 30D marking indicates the material's hardness on the Shore D scale, which is used to measure the hardness of plastics and rubber. The lower the number, the softer and more elastic the material. The Shore D scale is used for harder materials, while the Shore A scale is for softer ones. FiberFlex 30D has a hardness of 30 on the Shore D scale (which is equivalent to approximately 81 on the Shore A scale), making it very flexible and elastic, with properties similar to soft rubber.

Printing FiberFlex 30D on a printer with a Bowden extruder is possible but significantly complicated due to the high flexibility of the material. The long Bowden tube can cause the filament to twist and jam. If you are using a printer with a Bowden extruder, it is recommended to:

  • Minimize or completely disable retraction
  • Significantly reduce print speed (to 10-15 mm/s)
  • Ensure the filament travels along the most direct path possible
  • Use a high-quality PTFE tube with a minimal internal diameter

However, you will achieve the best results using a 3D printer with a direct drive extruder.

Unlike ABS or PLA, FiberFlex 30D is resistant to most common solvents used for smoothing 3D printed objects. Traditional smoothing methods using acetone or other solvents are not effective for this material. To improve the appearance and tactile feel of products printed from FiberFlex 30D, it is recommended to:

  • Print with thinner layers (0.1-0.15 mm) to improve surface quality
  • Use mechanical post-processing (sanding with very fine sandpaper)
  • Apply heat treatment (careful heating with hot air to smooth the surface)
  • Use special coatings compatible with TPU/TPE materials

The chemical resistance of FiberFlex 30D, while limiting smoothing possibilities, is an advantage for parts that will be exposed to various environments.

Products printed from FiberFlex 30D exhibit high durability thanks to the unique combination of flexibility and strength of the material. They can withstand:

  • Multiple deformation cycles without losing shape and properties
  • Exposure to a wide temperature range (from -30°C to +70°C)
  • Contact with most household chemicals
  • Abrasion and mechanical loads
  • UV radiation (with minimal color change)

When properly printed and used as intended, products made from FiberFlex 30D can last for years. However, their durability may decrease with prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, strong oxidizers, or temperatures above 70°C.

Print speed can influence the final properties of FiberFlex 30D products, but to a lesser extent the flexibility itself, which is determined by its chemical composition. However, print speed directly affects:

  • Layer adhesion: At low print speeds, the adhesion between layers improves, which can increase elasticity and strength in the Z direction.
  • Filling of thin walls: Slower printing provides better filling of small details, which affects the overall structural integrity of the product.
  • Dimensional accuracy: Optimal print speed ensures more accurate correspondence between actual and specified dimensions, which is especially important for functional parts.

To achieve optimal flexibility and strength, it is recommended to print FiberFlex 30D at a speed not exceeding 35 mm/s, and for particularly complex parts or those with thin elements, to reduce the speed to 15-20 mm/s.

Flexible filaments such as FiberFlex 30D are more hygroscopic than standard plastics for 3D printing and require special storage conditions to maintain optimal properties:

  • Store the filament in its original vacuum packaging until use
  • After opening the package, store the spool in an airtight container with silica gel
  • Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures
  • Maintain low humidity in the storage area (ideally below 20%)
  • After printing, it is recommended to remove the filament from the printer and store it properly
  • Before long-term storage, dry the filament at 60°C for 4 hours

Proper storage of FiberFlex 30D prevents moisture absorption, which can lead to deterioration in print quality, bubbles, stringing, and reduced mechanical properties of finished products.

You can determine if a flexible FiberFlex 30D filament has absorbed excessive moisture by the following signs:

  • Sound effects: Hissing, crackling, or popping during extrusion
  • Visual effects during printing: Appearance of bubbles or steam from the nozzle
  • Extrusion problems: Uneven feeding, under-extrusion, or nozzle clogging
  • Surface defects: Rough surface, excessive stringing between parts
  • Physical condition of the filament: Matte appearance (instead of natural gloss), brittleness when bent
  • Mechanical properties of finished products: Reduced elasticity, tendency to break along layers

If you notice any of these signs, it is recommended to dry the filament before continuing printing. Drying at 60°C for 4-6 hours in a special filament dryer or household dehydrator usually helps restore the optimal properties of the material.
