Polypropylene 3D Printer Filament

1.75mm PP Filament

Polypropylene （PP）Filament is a tough, semi-rigid thermoplastic that is highly resistant to heat, electricity, chemicals, fatigue, and impact. this filament is easy to print but should be used with a strong bed adhesive.

Chemical resistance, smooth surface finish, and durability.

This 3D Printing filament also functions as a great end-use material for prototypes because polypropylene is often found in common household items such as storage containers, DVD cases, squeezable bottles, and more.

Great mechanical properties

The impressive tensile strength makes polypropylene (PP) Filament perfect for making items that require durability while maintaining flexibility such as lockable containers, handles, etc.

Safe material

PP Filament is excellent for applications thatneed to be light, water-tight, or durable.Containers liquids, as well asrepeatedly bending clips and latches, arepopular uses.

Printing Tips

1- Printing temperature

PP can print succesfully in a wide range of temperatures, from 180° to 260°, however in our test the best quality/performance ratio is delivered with the following settings

Hot-End 225°c– 235°c

Bed 85°c

Temperature above 240°c can damage the PTFE tubing present in many hot-ends, so unless you have a all-metal hot-end we recommend printing always below 240°c

2- How to install the PP printing film

YOUSU PP filament has less warping rate , it’s material property makes PP filament will not stick to the printing surfaces commonly used to print other materials. Surfaces as glass, PEI, black plastic, won’t work even using glue. However, PP can be printed succesfully by using our special adhesive films included with the spool. It’s integrated with nano technology and these films are auto-adhesive and can be stuck to our usual printing surface to print on them. Even with consumer level 3d printer like Creality, flashforge, prusa i3 printer. Better results can be expected with professional printer like Raise 3D.

Follow these instructions to install the film in your printing surface:

1- If your printing surface (glass, PEI, etc..) has a smooth side and a rough side, stick the film on the smooth side to maximize adhesion.

2- Ensure that the printing surface is free of dust or oil that can reduce the film’s adhesion.

3- Stick the film carefully, avoid creating wrinkles or bubbles.

4- If some air bubbles are created, use a sharp tool to puncture them and let out the air.

5- Use a flat tool to apply pressure on the film and flatten it. This will maximize adhesion.

6- After the film is installed, you are ready to print PP

The film can be removed manually by pulling it off. If some glue residue is left, it can be easily cleaned with alcohol.

If you run out of films you can purchase more because they are also sold separately. Is addition is possible to use a home-made solution to print PP, because some commonly used adhesive tapes are made of PP and can be used to cover our printing surface and print on them. However, the performance and convenience of home-made solutions will be inferior than our special film.

3- How to prevent and reduce warping?

PP filament is a material that suffer from warping if printed in domestic 3D printers without a heated printing enviroment. The warping happens when the material coolsdown and deform the parts, bending them upwards and detaching them from the surface.

Small parts or models without big volumes can be printed without warping. However, bigger models will warp if printed in a domestic printer. The warping not always affect the functionability of a part.

Despite the only way to completely control warping is to print the filament in a printer with a heated chamber, there are some tips we can follow to minimize it´s impact.

1- Ensure the bed is perfectly leveled

2- Put a enclosure around our printer to reduce air currents and keep the air around the model as hot as possible.

3- Reduce the printing speed and increase the temperature for the first layer. Try 20mm/s and 250°c.

4- Turn off the cooling fan

5- Use brim or raft option in our slicer settings.

6- Reduce the infill and the shells of our objects.
