3D printing with tougher, high-performance filaments takes your Maker journey to the next level. Fillamentum is a brand known for designing advanced filaments that spark your creativity. As passionate Makers ourselves, we understand the excitement of experimenting with new functional 3D filaments. That's why we're thrilled to introduce Fillamentum Fluorodur, a filament that had our jaws dropping with its incredible self-extinguishing properties. With high-temperature resistance and the ability to self-extinguish, Fluorodur opens up a world of possibilities for 3D printing parts to withstand intense heat.
This polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) filament from Fillamentum has already gained recognition for its versatility and superior performance. Fluorodur belongs to the family of fluoroplastics known for their high rigidity in polymer chains, resulting in a highly crystalline structure. With remarkable rigidity, toughness, and impressive impact strength, Fillamentum Fluorodur showcases exceptional mechanical capabilities.
While we are blown away by the groundbreaking features of Fillamentum Fluorodur filament, we highly recommend taking care when printing with it. It's important to note that polyvinylidene fluoride can emit harmful fumes during printing. To ensure your safety, it is essential to have a filtered room, and an enclosure with a safe filter system is recommended. lease make sure to follow all of Fillamentum's safety guidelines for a worry-free printing experience.
The versatility and exceptional performance of Fluorodur have already been recognized at the Czech Academy of Sciences. Researchers successfully utilized this filament to 3D print high-strength sealant structures for geology equipment, effectively creating vacuum-sealed rubber sleeves containing rock samples. Their prints endured temperatures of up to 150°C and resisted the corrosive effects of hydraulic oil. The unique combination of thermal and chemical resistance made Fluorodur the ideal choice for this challenging project.
Fluorodur presents an exciting opportunity for Makers, especially in the industrial market. By harnessing the power of Fluorodur, researchers at the Czech Academy of Sciences were able to produce their own cost-effective sealant structures, eliminating the need for external sourcing. You can do the same and enjoy Fillamentum Fluorodur's amazing features.
Important! Please take note of the safety tips at the end of this description when printing with the awesome Fillamentum Fluorodur filament. Protect your printer and yourself.

Prioritize Your Health: It's important to avoid breathing in any fumes released during printing. Take precautionary measures to minimize exposure.
Follow 3D Printing Recommendations: Follow the guidelines above for optimal printing conditions and settings. This ensures the best results and reduces any potential risks.
Mind the Temperature: Printing at temperatures beyond the recommended range may lead to the emission of harmful toxic fumes. To maintain safety, do not exceed a nozzle temperature of 290 °C.
Maintain Proper Ventilation: During the printing process, it's crucial to have adequate ventilation in the room. This helps to disperse any fumes that may be present. Consider using a printer with an air filtration system, such as ACF filters, for improved air quality.
Nozzle Choice Matters: Opt for a brass nozzle instead of a stainless steel one to prevent corrosion at higher temperatures. This helps preserve the longevity of your printer.
Heat Management: Follow the recommended sequence of heating. Start by heating the print bed first, then wait for temperature stabilization before heating the nozzle. This ensures proper functioning and prevents damage.
Minimize Material Delay: Reduce the amount of material left in the nozzle at melting temperatures to prevent clogging and ensure smooth printing. This helps to maintain the performance of your printer.
Nozzle Maintenance: Clean the nozzle at the recommended printing temperatures or lower. Avoid using higher temperatures, as they can cause degradation and the potential release of harmful fumes.

Starting in as early as 2013, but with roots that go even further than that, Fillamentum is a brand that actually began working in the automotive industry, before moving into the packaging industry, and then eventually arriving in (and specialising in) 3D printing, where they found their true passion. And as a company that has always placed a high priority on following innovation, they took to 3D printing like a fish to water, and since 2013, have been consistently introducing fresh new innovations to the industry in the form of new types of polymers, refinements to classic polymers, as well as hybrid polymers that blend in materials like wood for distinctively unique effects.
What we really love about Fillamentum and their awesome 3D filaments range, is that they offer true consistency even between hundreds or thousands of batches. In fact, they actually match many of their colours to specifically defined Pantones and RAL colours, which are universal colour standards that artists, designers and many other professionals commonly use for precision colour coordination. This of course is complemented by their consistent quality, with an impressive (and tested) 0.05mm tolerance throughout each spool, as well as consistent results from various colours across multiple batches during our own testing phases.
As a brand that clearly demonstrates its passion for 3D printing through it’s beautiful 3D filaments, we’ve been exceptionally impressed with Fillamentum, and we certainly won’t be too surprised if Fillamentum becomes your new favourite 3D filament for all occasions.
