Python Flex™ 98A

Python Flex™, Formfutura 98A
Python Flex is a high-performance flexible thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filament, which is designed for high speed
printing on both direct drive and Bowden style extruders. Python Flex is an extremely easy to print flexible filament which
can be printed directly on a glass plate without having to use the heatbed. Python Flex has a shore hardness of 98A and
has great elastic properties as allows itself to be stretched up to 450% before breaking. Python Flex is extremely transparent
in its natural form and has excellent resistance to oil, greases, microorganisms and abrasion.
