3B3D Filament has easy printing, high chemical resistance and high flexibility. It is an engineering material specially designed for applications where high toughness and impact resistance are required. Its flexibility can be adjusted according to the filling rate. It can be used in indirect (Bowden) and direct (Direct Drive) extruders.
