Complete Technical Printing Guide - Filaflex SEBS
🔍 1. Material Properties
SEBS (Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene) is a thermoplastic elastomer that combines the properties of plastics and rubber. As a hydrogenated version of SBS, it offers improved thermal stability and environmental resistance. The material provides excellent layer adhesion and consistent extrusion properties.
⚡ 2. Understanding Print Speed
Volumetric vs. Linear Speed
- 🌊 Volumetric Speed (mm³/s): Like water through a hose - measures how much plastic flows per second, regardless of nozzle size.
- 📏 Linear Speed (mm/s): Like walking speed - how fast the printer head moves across the print area
- 🔑 Key Formula: Linear Speed = Volumetric Speed / (Line Width × Layer Height)
✨ The Magic: When you set a volumetric speed limit in your slicer, it automatically calculates and adjusts all linear speeds (perimeters, infill, etc.) based on your current nozzle size and layer height. This ensures consistent material flow regardless of your print settings!
⚙️ 3. Basic Parameters
| Nozzle | Layer Height | Line Width | Volumetric Speed | Temperature |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0.4mm | 0.2mm | 0.4mm | 5.0 mm³/s | 245°C |
| 0.6mm | 0.3mm | 0.6mm | 11.2 mm³/s | 245°C |
| 0.8mm | 0.4mm | 0.8mm | 20.0 mm³/s | 245°C |
| 1.0mm | 0.5mm | 1.0mm | 31.2 mm³/s | 245°C |
🚀 4. Speed Settings
⚠️ NOTE: SEBS benefits from consistent speeds to maintain uniform extrusion and prevent stringing. The following speeds are calculated based on the volumetric speeds listed above.
0.4mm Nozzle (Volumetric Speed: 5.0 mm³/s)
| Line Type | Percentage | Speed |
|---|---|---|
| External Perimeter | 50% | 31.25 mm/s |
| Internal Perimeters | 75% | 46.88 mm/s |
| Infill | 100% | 62.50 mm/s |
| Top/Bottom | 60% | 37.50 mm/s |
| First Layer | 30% | 18.75 mm/s |
↩️ 5. Retraction Settings
🚀 IMPORTANT: SEBS requires precise retraction settings to prevent stringing while maintaining consistent flow.
| Nozzle | Distance | Speed | Z-Hop |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.4mm | 0.8-1.2mm | 30mm/s | 0.2mm |
| 0.6mm | 0.8-1.2mm | 30mm/s | 0.2mm |
| 0.8mm | 0.8-1.2mm | 30mm/s | 0.2mm |
| 1.0mm | 0.8-1.2mm | 30mm/s | 0.2mm |
Additional Retraction Recommendations:
- Minimum Travel for Retraction: 1.5mm
- Maximum Retraction Count: 100
- Minimum Extrusion Between Retractions: 1mm
- Retract on Layer Change: Yes
- Wipe Before Retraction: Yes
🌡️ 6. Bed Temperature
Temperature Settings:
- Bed Temperature: 70-80°C
- Chamber Temperature (if available): Room temperature with no drafts
Temperature Control Tips:
- Keep printer in draft-free environment
- Use enclosure if available to maintain stable temperature
- Monitor first few layers closely for proper adhesion
- Adjust fan speed based on part geometry and size
❄️ 7. Cooling Configuration
- General: 20% (layer time >10s)
- Layers < 9 seconds: 40% fan
- First layer: Always 0%
- Force fan speed for overhangs and bridges: OFF
Advanced Cooling Settings:
- Minimum Layer Time: 10 seconds
- Maximum Layer Time: 30 seconds
- Lift Head on Layer Too Fast: Yes
- Bridge Fan Speed: 40%
🔧 8. Troubleshooting Guide
| Problem | Solution |
|---|---|
| Poor Bed Adhesion | 1. Clean build plate thoroughly 2. Verify bed temperature (70-80°C) 3. Increase first layer width (110%) 4. Reduce first layer speed |
| Warping | 1. Use enclosure if possible 2. Eliminate all drafts 3. Ensure fan is OFF for first layers 4. Add brim or raft |
| Under-extrusion | 1. Increase printing temperature by 5°C 2. Check for partial nozzle clog 3. Reduce print speed 4. Increase flow rate by 2-3% |
| Stringing | 1. Fine-tune retraction settings 2. Optimize travel moves 3. Enable z-hop for travel moves 4. Lower printing temperature 2-3°C |
✨ 9. Best Practices
- Direct drive extruder recommended
- Standard brass nozzle suitable
- Enclosed chamber recommended
- Clean build surface essential
- Level bed while at printing temperature
- Start with small test prints
- Use brim for better adhesion on larger parts
- Print first layer slower for better adhesion
- Use brim for larger parts
- Enable Z-hop for travel moves
- Monitor first layer adhesion carefully
- Allow parts to cool completely before removal
- Clean build plate between prints
- Handle printed parts with care to maintain flexibility
🛠️ Hardware Requirements
⚙️ Print Setup
🎯 Quality Optimization
🔬 Post-Processing
⚠️ IMPORTANT: These settings are optimized for direct drive extruders. These parameters are initial recommendations and may need adjustment based on your specific setup and conditions. SEBS properties make it particularly suitable for parts requiring both flexibility and durability.
