MAGIGOO® Pro Flex 50 ml/1.69 fl oz

Thought3D’s MAGIGOO Pro Flex 50 ml/1.69 fl oz is designed for professional use to work exclusively with thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), and thermoplastic copolyester (TPC) filaments. The part should be relatively easy to remove once it cools, and the glue residue should also be easy to clean.

TPUs, TPEs, and TPCs describe a group of polymers sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers. Thermoplastic rubbers exist as co-polymers or a polymer blend, generally of plastic and rubber. This imparts both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties, resulting in these materials stretching to moderate elongations and returning to their original shape.

These materials have very good thermal properties, material stability, and chemical resistance and are more cost-effective to produce. As a result, these materials are highly sought after in industrial applications.

Some flexible filaments show lower adhesion to conventional 3D printing build surfaces and a high tendency to warp. Others tend to stick too well to bare 3D printing surfaces such as glass and PEI. MAGIGOO Flex is a specialized solution for FDM printing of flexible filaments that was developed to work with a vast number of flexible filament types. It acts as an intermediate layer between the build-plate and the printed part enabling good adhesion and facilitating print removal as required.

MAGIGOO Flex has been designed and tested to work with different flexible filament brands; simply shake the bottle, apply the Flex, print, allow to cool and remove, and clean.

Using this product with other than flexible type filaments might cause over adhesion and damage the build surface. In cases of excess adhesion, users should wet the print bed with a small amount of water and slowly work it below the part, making part removal easier. For larger prints and filaments with a high shrinkage rate, a 20 mm brim is recommended.
