I have not done much

I have not done much PP printing but it prints better than some other brands of PP

PP is great but very difficult to print without the right surface

PP is chemical resistant and tough but still some flex without cracking like Tupperware food storage containers. The problem is it has to be printed on PP to stick so don't attempt it without a heated Polypropolene surface as it just will not stick. Most plastic suppliers can cut you a piece to fit your printer.

PP Performance

More information about settings and how to stick to the bed is needed. I am certainly no expert at 3D printer but I am not a novice. I found it starts really well and then once the shrinkage kicks in it curls like a ….. and peels itself off the bed. I tried packing tape on a BuildTak like surface and it looked like it would work then it peeled and I had to stop. I tried rafts as well, still no better for sticking to the bed. The part does peel from the raft really well. It prints from the nozzle beautifully and living hinges work really well when the filament is printing across the living hinge. If only it would stick to the bed. FYI I tried 200C nozzle and 100C bed.

This is a 500g 1.75mm roll of PP filament - also known as Polypropylene. This is a material commonly used in the medical and food preparation fields. PP has somewhat of a flex to it, allowing it to be used in seals or other specific engineering applications. Thanks to a very high temperature resistance, PP is considered a very high grade engineering material, and also boasts high chemical resistance.

At the Superstore, we've found this filament prints best with a bed temperature of 105 degrees, and a nozzle temperature of 235 degrees if you're printing with fine layers, and 245 degrees if you're printing thicker layered objects faster.

The spools are specifically designed to fit Creator Pro, Creator 3 and Guider series of 3D Printershowever they can be used on other printers that use 1.75mm material and have a heated bed.

These filaments will work well with any printer that takes 1.75mm. They might however require an external spool holder if they do not fit on the spool holder that comes with the printer.

This is a new-upgraded formulation engineered by Flashforge helps to minimize filament problems such as curling and bubbles during printing. The new anti-moisture ingredients included in this formulation permits longer storage time without loss of quality.

More precise and stable

Flashforge's new filaments have passed through high-precision laser diameter measuring test, guaranteeing stability of filament diameter, ensuring that the filament doesn't get stuck or slip during printing.

Durable for storage - better to use

Flashforge's new filament series has a damp-proof and anti-cracking formula applied to the filament in production, lengthening the storage time when not using the material. This lets you use all your filament, no matter how long it's in storage.

New process - higher pureness

Flashforge's new filament series is made up of a new formula, which is mixed and produced in a controlled and dust free workshop, preventing any possibility of dust mixing as common with cheaper brands, letting us say goodbye to needless extruder blocking
