Fil X – PLA – Yellow – 1kg – 1.75mm

THE PLANET’S FRIENDLIEST 3D FILAMENT

FIL X PLA

Fil X PLA is the flagship product of Fil X taking the 3D printing market by storm! Through thorough testing and hours of diligence, Fil X is proud to present its 100% biodegradable PLA.

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is the holy grail of polymers as it is made from organic components such as sugar cane or maize, therefore making it incredibly environmentally friendly. However, the product is quite tricky to manufacture, so many companies add process additives to the product mix making it easier to extrude, thereby ruining the biodegradability of the product.

Often, when printing with contaminated PLA, there will be an odour as a result of the polymer additives in the product. Pure PLA is practically odourless.

Fil X is proud to bring their PLA filament to the market. Without any additives such as masterbatch or stabilizers to compromise the compostable properties of PLA, Fil X has developed a pure and clean PLA filament that is absolutely environmentally friendly and a pleasure to print with.

TOUGH YET FLEXIBLE

FIL X SBS

Did you know that you are in daily contact with SBS products such as the soles of your shoes or the tyres of your car? But how can SBS be used in FDM 3D printing?

SBS (Styrene-butadiene-styrene) has the unique properties of being both tough and flexible at the same time, thanks to its Polystyrene origin lending it a hard, tough consistency and the Polybutadiene giving it a bit more bounce with its rubbery properties.

This powerhouse combination offers, apart from good layer adhesion, no odour during printing and does not absorb moisture. Furthermore, it has been FDA and EU directive approved for food contact.

Fil X SBS filament is very easy to print with on a glass bed with some hairspray for better bed adhesion and best of all can be smoothed with d-limonene (also available from Fil X!) leaving you with a stunning finished product.

STRENGTH AND HEAT RESISTANCE

FIL X PETG

Fil X PETG offers easy to print quality parts. PETG's popularity is growing as an alternative to PLA when applications is needed where higer flexability and strength is needed. PETG is also more UV resistant than PLA and will not warp as easily as PLA in the heat of the sun.

PETG Is food safe and can be used for applications where in contact with food.
