Flex Adhesive - Magigoo

Magigoo: the adhesive for 3D printing.
Magigoo Flex is designed to work with flexible filaments (TPUs/TPEs/TPCs).
It is designed for professional use, to work exclusively with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) and TPC (thermoplastic copolyester) filaments. Molded parts should be easily removed once cooled, and residual adhesive should be easily cleaned.

Why Magigoo Flex:
TPUs, TPEs/TPCs describe a group of polymers often referred to as "thermoplastic rubbers". Thermoplastic rubbers occur as copolymers or polymer blends, generally of plastic and rubber. This allows them to have both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. As a result, these materials have the advantage of stretching moderately and returning to their original shape.

In addition, these materials have excellent thermal properties, stability, chemical resistance and are cheaper to manufacture. As a result, they are highly sought after in industrial applications.

Some flexible filaments exhibit less adhesion to conventional 3D printing surfaces and a high tendency to shrink. Others tend to stick too much to 3D printing surfaces such as glass and PEI. Magigoo Flex is a specialized flexible filament FDM printing solution that has been developed to work with a large number of flexible filament types. Magigoo Flex acts as an intermediate layer between the print bed and the printed part allowing for good adhesion and facilitating print removal if necessary.

How to use it:
Magigoo Flex has been designed and tested to work with flexible filaments of various brands:
- Shake the bottle
- Apply on the desired area by pressing the tip on the plane (activating the internal valve) and spreading as needed.
- Print according to the specifications of the filament or printer.
- Allow to cool and remove. The print should come right off.
- Wipe - Use a damp cloth to clean.

Safety:
Using this product with filaments other than PEEK may cause excessive adhesion and damage to the printing surface. For best results, follow the directions on the data sheet.

Recommendations:
For larger prints, a 20mm brim is recommended.

In case of excessive adhesion, we recommend wetting the printing surface with a small amount of water, trying to run it slowly under the part. This should make it easier to remove.
