SmartMaterials Natural SmartMaterials SmartFil Polypropylene Filament - 1.75mm (0.7kg)
Polypropylene is an interesting material because of it's light weight yet strong parts that are both chemically resistant and an excellent candidate for printing living hinges. One great feature of PP is that hardly anything sticks to it - helping it stay clean but also making it rather difficult to print with. SmartMaterials has you covered on that front with their SmartStick, a bed adhesion solution specifically made for this filament.

The Complete Polypropylene 3D Printing Solution
SmartFil Polypropylene is perfect for parts that require chemical resistance as PP is a relatively inert material. There are very few materials that stick to Polypropylene, which helps keep it clean and non-reactive but also creates a problem in 3D printing in the form of bed adhesion. No matter your skill level, machine calibration, or build surface, getting the first layer of PP to stick is not particularly easy. This filament is therefore paired with the SmartMaterials SmartStick - a bed adhesion solution that you can apply to make first layer adhesion a bit easier. Without the SmartStick, success with PP of any kind is very difficult - if this is your first time trying out this material be sure to pick one up and do your research!

Perfect for Prototyping Polypropylene products
As the amount of materials available for 3D printing continues to widen, more and more opportunities there are to prototype and refine your models with the same material the finished product will be made from. PP is a popular injection molding and mass manufacturing material for all of the reasons described above but previously models had to be tested using other materials which were not perfect examples of what was being designed. Now with filament like this, you can design and test products at your desk in the same material the final product will be mass manufactured with.

Questions
What are the printer setting recommendations? Nozzle Size, Melt temp, bed temp, fan speed, feed rate, etc...
what is the shore hardness of this filament
how well does this stick to a buildtak sheet?
What the heck is wrong with this filament? It jams every machine I've run it on. I've tried a variety of setting including the recommended with no luck. I had to switch to another brand of PP to finish my project.
What's the density?
Do you guys know what is the tensile strength of this material? I am trying to run some test to determine its mechanical property.
I have a high heat application where i need to hold a heater coil that runs at 120C bt could reach 160C can this filament sustain that temp and hold shape???? No i use PC Board and hand fabricate these small 2 in square lids. Dennis
How many meters of filament is in the 700 g spool?
Is a TDP available for this product?
Does this smell bad when printing?
Is this filament approved for skin contact?
Is polypropylene could be 3D printed by creality ender 3?
For the PP filament, would you recommend applying blue painters tape to the print bed before applying the SmartStick, or just applying the SmartStick directly to the print bed?
Hello. We are trying to find out if a 1.75mm PP filament can be routed through one of the high-temp 3D printer pens? They run at 200C. Would it be hot enought to melt the PP? The shop has a Drader welder, but it's too big for the small-scale application of modifying automotive plastic pieces. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks.
What additives are in this filament? I'm using it for children's products. Thanks.
