Crystal Flex™
Crystal Flex is a high-performance and easy to use Styrene-Butadiene Copolymer based 3D printer filament, which combines strength, resilience, semi-flexibility and transparency with printability.
Crystal Flex filament is as clear as PolyCarbonate and has an extremely high surface gloss and by that can truly be called a bright filament. All these properties combined make Crystal Flex a diverse and wonderful filament to print with and which can be applied for a wide range of applications.
Unique features
- Plexiglass-like transparency
- Very clear filament with 92% light transmittance and extremely high surface gloss
- Semi-flexible, bendable and resilient
- Shore hardness of 63D and bendable up to 230% without causing white stress marks
- Very easy to print
- Practically no warping due to extremely low water-absorption properties
- Improved flowing behaviour and inter-layer adhesion
- Good first layer adhesion to several heated print surfaces
- USP Class VI
- Engineered to meet UL 94HB flame retardancy standards
- Engineered to be compliant to FDA food and drink contact articles

*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.
