RealFlex filament Black 1.75 mm 1000 g for 3D printers is of superior quality, produced in The Netherlands. Real filaments guarantees high-quality and diameter consistent filament, giving you the best 3D printing experience.
RealFlex is a semi-flexible PLA based material with some unique properties and exclusively available from Real filaments. The adhesion with itself is of outstanding quality, resulting in even single perimeter prints of 0.6mm you cannot rip apart by hand in the z direction. While this is a semi-flexible filament, it can be printed using a bowden system albeit a bit slower. By being a bio-degradable filament, RealFlex is environmentally better than PET-G or ABS filaments and the base material comes from renewable sources.
Although it's called RealFlex, the flexibility is only noticeable in prints with little infill. When printed more solid, it rather feels like a screw driver's hand grip: soft and firm. The biggest advantage comes from its high-impact properties. This makes it a great material for protection of structural parts in drones for example. We recommend NOT using a heated bed and to print is directly on glass. This will provide sufficient adhesion with the bed without any warping. When finished, you can safely remove the print from the bed using a chisel or spatula tool. You can extrude RealFlex at 200 degrees Celsius.
The RealFlex is available in four colors, but we can supply any PLA color we currently carry. For larger quantities and custom batches, feel free to contact our sales department.
Real filament is an independent manufacturer of high quality filament, produced locally in The Netherlands with a specific emphasis on thermoplastic purity. There are no cost-saving "filler" additives that may impact performance or reliability. Real gives you consistent print conditions at a low price, making it amongst the highest value filaments on the market.
The range of thermoplastic filament choices continues to multiply at an increasing rate, ranging from established brands to highly specialized compounds. For this reason, Real has created a broad catalog of options, and developed the flexibility to produce customized batches tailored to your preferences in color, material or diameter. Contact our sales team for more information, or review the product data sheets and specifications directly on the Real filament website.
Whether you're part of the DIY RepRap community or use a high end professional 3D printer, Real filament is universally compatible to give you great results.

3D printing has never been easier, with this great adhesion spray! Just spray a little bit of 3DLAC directly onto the glass of your heated bed and start printing. The spray can even be used without heat for PLA and PETG, although we recommend heating the bed up to respectively 50 and 60 degrees as letting the glass cool down, will release your object automatically from the bed. 3DLAC comes in a handy 400ml spray can, which will last your for hundreds of prints.
While 3D printing using FDM, layers cool down after deposition an shrink. This shrinkage in turn cause layers below to be bend upwards, causing the familiar warping effect. In bad cases the print will come loose from the plate and will be ruined. But no more! 3DLAC will allow for great bonding of the printed plastic with the glass surface under it, allowing even large prints to be made without warping.
Description 3DLAC spray is your best solution against warping by providing a great adhesion with commonly used filaments as PLA, ABS and PETGNOTE: Due to transport limitations this product is not available in all countries. Please login to check if your country is accepted.
PLA (polylactic acid) filament is amongst the oldest and still the most heavily used mediums in the 3D printing community, mainly due to its benefits as a versatile and environmentally friendly thermoplastic. Both organic and biodegradable, PLA is easily compounded with other ingredients to influence its final properties, for example flexibility and metallically. The uncolored form of Real PLA is a translucent off-white color and has a printing temperature between 195 - 205 degrees (depending on hot end characteristics). Darker colors of Real may require a few extra degrees of temperature due to the coloring process. The filament should extrude smoothly and appear slightly shiny. PLA is denser and tougher than ABS, but is more brittle and susceptible to cracking under high loads. It is also less resistant to the outdoor elements (UV light and water) than other common thermoplastics (see Nylon, ABS and PET-G).
PLA can print well on an unheated surface using Blue Painters or Kapton tape, and most 3D print stickers. For ease and convenience, we recommend using spray such as 3DLAC on a glass bed. A low bed temperature between 50 - 60 degrees further reduces the chance of warping and makes final print removal easier once the print surface has cooled.
