ZEN CARES ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT

ZEN 3D Printing Filament have made a conscious effort to preserve the environment, with 3D Printing growing more and more popular, it’s becoming another contributor to plastic pollution.
Even though PLA Plastic is bio-degradable –The packaging is not.

ZEN has switched to a stunning wooden reel that can be broken down, used as firewood and won’t have the same effect on the environment that traditional plastics would.
They’ve also chosen to go box-less, less cardboard means less trees.

 

PLA (Polylactic Acid) is a biodegradable (under the correct conditions) thermoplastic derived from renewable resources such as corn starch or sugarcane. It is one of the most popular bioplastics, used for many applications ranging from plastic cups to medical implants. PLA in its raw form is also FDA and EU commission regulation approved as Food Contact Safe.

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.
