PrintDry PRO 3 and SUNLU FilaDryer S4 are recommended filament dryer options to succeed with flexible material 3D printing on Bambu Lab 3D printers

KEEP IT DRY

To maintain optimal print quality, it's crucial to keep moisture-absorbing materials like TPU, TPE, and Nylon dry. These hygroscopic filaments can accumulate moisture over time if left exposed, potentially compromising print results.

Unlike standard dry storage boxes that merely maintain current moisture levels, filament dryers actively remove moisture from your materials, which not only preserves dryness but also actively dehydrates materials, ensuring peak performance throughout your printing process.

Additionally, the included filament dryer (e.g., PrintDry PRO 3 or SUNLU FilaDryer S4) was carefully selected because it features a roller system. This minimizes resistive filament feeding, an issue that can arise if using flexible materials in the Bambu AMS.

STICK TO THE PLATE

The Bambu Lab Texured PEI Build Plate is our recommended go-to surface for succeeding with flexible materials. Thanks to its textured surface, the adhesion between the material and plate is strong enough that adhesive glue is not mandatory for success like it is for smooth/smoother surface plates.

STAY CONNECTED WITH EASE

Effortlessly switch between non-AMS-compatible materials and the Bambu Lab AMS with the Bambu PTFE Adapter. This innovative tool allows you to keep your Bambu Automatic Material System connected while simultaneously using up to 3 non-AMS compatible filaments, eliminating the need for constant disconnection and reconnection when working with flexible, composite (if applicable), or cardboard spool materials.

PRINT WITH RELIABILITY

Depending on your unique combination selection, this package includes up to four spools of TPU 3D printer filament so you can start printing from the get-go.

Choose MH Build Series for quality results at an accessible price or PRO Series if intending to use prints as end-use parts for serious projects.

MatterHackers offers multiple TPU 3D printer filament options that fit your budget and application needs.

The TDS says "Print Temp 230C +/-10" and "Bed Temp 70C +/-10". The images on this web page say "Hot End Temp 250C +/-10" and "Bed Temp 50C +/-10". Is this inconsistency a hallmark of the MH PRO series TPU???

What is the difference between the MH PRO series TPU and the MH Build Series TPU?

Add Response

I have had generally good luck with this material. I love the properties of it. I would like some advice on reducing some stringing. I use Prusa MK3S with the Generic FLEX setting. I get a big string from the purge line to the skirt and from the skirt to the print. I am using a 240 degree print temp and my speeds are all around 30.

I ordered this material (Matter Hackers Pro Series, 1.75mm, TPU, Gray) for my Bambu Lab X1E printer. When I tried to load it into the AMS, it failed and got stuck. I needed to disassemble the filament tubing to get it unstuck. Is there something that could be done to use this material with the Bambu Lab X1E printer? Perhaps mounting it to the rear spool instead if in the AMS...? Do you have any experience with this material for this printer? Thank you. Brian Wixom brianwixom@gmail.com

I discovered that Metthackers pro clear TPU is easy to break, while the cheap inland white TPU is nearly impossible to break. So I don't get it, the NylonX is major strong and I use it as the backbone of everything, but I don't understand how a cheap filament, precisely inland white TPU, outperforms mettahackers pro series in utility function. It prints better, but I can make the cheap stuff print near perfect with extra attention to settings. So I ask, whats really up with mettahackers TPU, it concerns me because I was going to invest in Mettahackers Nylon and now I am in doubt. I simply want to know why the cheap stuff was way beter than mettahackers pro series?? Please.

Can this be used as a base, with a layer change/stop and then PLA printed on top of it? I want a flexible bottom to a specific print, but I don't want the entire print flexible...

What is the Light Transmittance Rating of this material? This is a commonly reported property, usually expressed as % of total light transmittance. 100% = perfect clarity, all light crosses through 0% = perfect opacity, no light crosses through.

Where is the Safety Data Sheet?

Add Response

1.7mm as delivered, which made it very prone to kinking. Not printable with the EZR Struder on an Ender 3, with any temperature or nozzle. 1.8mm & above seems necessary with flexible filament. Thicker is better because it needs to transfer force to the nozzle. It might work with a dual drive direct extruder with real tight passages.
