ATARAXIA ART Flexible PLA Filament 1.75mm, 3D Printer Filaments 1Kg/2.2lb Spool, Easy Than TPU Extruder,89A Shore Hardness,Patent Formula, Accuracy +/-.03mm, with Filament Storage Bags, FPLA Sky Blue

This filament does live up to it's name of being a flexible PLA that can be used on standard bowden systems like my Ender 3 Pro, however, if this is how it prints when it comes from the supplier (I suspect the filament has moisture issues) I am hesitant to use it again. I have no method of drying filament and living in a fairly dry environment I would suspect the issues cropped up from the packaging facility. The filament came in a standard vacuum sealed bag, but I noticed that it did not have the same normal unshrinking that I find with other filaments when opened. I also reached out to Ataraxia on their website to ask if the problems I am having are normal, got no response. For a company that claims that customer service is their highest priority, not answering customer feedback on their website seems to be a counter to this statement. Over all even with the issues that I am having the filament works okay but I would probably not purchase it again.

Es muy buen filamento se imprime con facilidad

This is for the flexible PLA: If you extrude this at 70% instead of 100%, it is so much softer. I am getting fine detail and great support removal with the following settingsTable heat set to zeroPrint temperature 195First layer temperature 195Support z distance set to threeSeparation XY 85%Print speed set to the same speed as TPU printingUsing 0.4 nozzle and for fine details I am printing at 0.12 layersI am not using the tube to feed my printhead. I just put it above on a shelf and feed directly into the head as you can see in the picture.I have the blue as well as the yellow and they both print very nicely.At 90% extrusion it is 85AAt 70% extrusion it is 70A measured by my deviceHappy printing

Out of the box, the product was extremely stringy, even when printing with a .6mm nozzle. I almost gave up on the filament. As a last resort, I purchased an enclosed filament heater and dryer. When I put the filament into the dryer, it had a relative humidity of around 58%. I let the filament dry for about 6 hours at 55C and brought the RH to about 18%. After that, my print quality was impeccable. If you're not prepared to deal with wet filament, I'd avoid this manufacturer. If you have the ability and the inclination to dry the filament before first use, this is an excellent product. I am currently using it in the production of molds for wax patterns in metal casting.

Fun. Used the flexibility to make softer, less harsh kids Chimes music mallets.Maybe I can use this to make a cup lid.Fun experience experimenting.
