Magigoo Flex: Adhesive for 3D Printing with Flexible Filaments
3D printing with flexible monofilaments is both a fascinating and challenging task. Achieving a high-quality result requires a comprehensive approach: the right filament, printer settings, and an adhesive. Magigoo Flex is a glue specifically developed for working with TPU, TPE, TPC, and other elastic filaments based on thermoplastic elastomer copolymers. Be sure to read to the end — there are practical tips for printing with flexible materials.
What Problems Does Magigoo Flex Solve?
Thermoplastic elastomers behave differently depending on the material type — and both extremes create difficulties:
- TPU usually adheres too well to the platform surface, making the removal of the finished part potentially damaging to both the bed coating and the model itself.
- TPE and TPC, on the contrary, have extremely low adhesion to most surfaces — this leads to warping, defects, and detachment during the printing process.
Magigoo Flex is designed with both scenarios in mind: it provides a strong adhesive base for the first layer while allowing for easy removal of finished parts. To do this, simply moisten the platform with water — and the product will detach effortlessly.
Tips for Printing with Flexible Filaments
- Print slowly. For stable extrusion, the recommended speed is 20–40 mm/s. Try to maintain the feed rate as consistently as possible to avoid filament jams.
- Combat stringing. "Stringing" often appears on flexible models — a consequence of the filament's elasticity and humidity. Dried filament and careful use of retraction, combined with a reliable extrusion system, will help eliminate this issue.
- Monitor the spool. Regularly check for resistance when the filament is being fed — flexible filament can stretch, leading to under-extrusion.
