Description

Spool of MakerBot Flexible Filament MakerBot Flexible Filament for MakerBot Replicator 2 Desktop 3D Printers opens new potential for 3D prints, enabling functional hinges, joints, and shaped parts. SPECIAL DIRECTIONS FOR USE -MakerBot Flexible Filament flows and melts at significantly lower temperatures than MakerBot PLA Filament. To avoid problems with the filament melting outside the extruder nozzle, it's important to load and unload the MakerBot Flexible Filament at a lower temperature. IMPORTANT: Any time MakerBot Flexible Filament is loaded or unloaded and there isn't any prior MakerBot PLA Filament to be purged, you must set the Change Filament temperature to 120C. Please follow these steps when switching between filaments: FROM: MakerBot PLA Filament TO: MakerBot Flexible Filament -Follow the normal Change Filament procedure to load the MakerBot Flexible Filament.
