DESCRIPTION

  • Ideal for creating all types of 3D pieces that repel flying insects
  • Perfect for printing bracelets, necklaces, keyrings, watch straps, coasters, hiking accessories...
  • Emits a strong citronella aroma, maintaining its mosquito-repellent properties for up to 2 years indoors
  • Its semi-rigid structure facilitates extrusion, printing flexible and pleasant-to-touch objects
  • Similar to PLA filaments in extrusion temperatures but with greater compression and tensile strength
  • Suitable for 3D printers with direct or bowden extruders
  • 100% recyclable and non-toxic material, with food-grade certification, making it suitable for printing children's or pet toys that may come into contact with the mouth
  • Presented in a cardboard box, wound on a transparent plastic spool, and vacuum-sealed to preserve the fragrance

 

 

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND

  • TPU is prone to absorbing moisture. When this happens, the filament bubbles or "cracks" during printing.
  • To remove moisture, you can use any of the following strategies:
    • Leave the filament in a closed room with a dehumidifier for 24 hours
    • Place the filament in an oven at a temperature of 60 °C for 2 hours

STORAGE AND PRESERVATION

  • Filaments tend to absorb moisture from the environment, leading to printing or finishing issues. Therefore, it is important to maintain the relative humidity between 10-15%
  • Moisture degrades the filament, causing extruder blockages and variations in its physical and mechanical properties
  • To keep the filament in good condition and preserve its aroma for as long as possible, proper storage and drying processes are essential
  • The filament should be stored in airtight and preferably vacuum-sealed containers. Zip-lock bags with silica gel beads, vacuum-sealed bags, or vacuum-sealed food storage containers can be used
  • There are various techniques to remove moisture, including:
    • Conventional methods such as drying in a domestic oven or a food dehydrator. At low temperatures and for long periods
    • Professional methods such as filament dryers
  • The lifespan of a filament can vary depending on several factors; therefore, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding drying and storage parameters
