The ideal printing temperature for Flex V0 is between 235 ºC and 245 ºC on a heated bed at 20-40 ºC. Since the Flex V0 pellets are a flexible material, it is recommended to reduce the printing speed of maximum volumetric speed should under-extrusion occur. It is crucial to store the Flex V0 pellets properly as processing of moist material may cause degradation of polymer chains, brittleness, poor layer adhesion, stringing and oozing. It is best to store the pellets in a tightly sealed bag or container with a desiccant.
