Filaflex SEBS is a high-performance TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) filament engineered for the most demanding applications. With a Shore hardness of 90A, this rubber-based filament combines exceptional flexibility with outstanding durability, offering superior resistance to impact, fatigue, and environmental factors. What sets it apart is its universal compatibility with all types of 3D printers, including bowden systems, making professional-grade flexible printing accessible to everyone.
Featuring remarkable chemical and UV resistance, Filaflex SEBS excels in outdoor applications exposed to harsh conditions. Its hydrophobic nature ensures reliable performance in humid environments, while delivering excellent detail and a premium soft-touch finish. The material's unique properties make it an ideal PVC alternative, offering easy support removal and superior printability for applications requiring long-term durability and flexibility.
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.
Volumetric vs. Linear Speed
✨ 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!
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 |
⚠️ 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.
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 |
🚀 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 |

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 |
