Fil-X SBS Filament 1.75mm Purple – Tough Engineering 1kg

## Fil-X SBS Filament 1.75mm 1kg Purple

Fil-X SBS Filament 1.75mm Purple is a tough engineering-grade material designed for impact-resistant parts with slight flexibility. Unlike rubber-like filaments, SBS offers enhanced durability while maintaining structural strength and reliable print performance.

The vibrant purple finish provides a bold, professional appearance suitable for functional components, enclosures, brackets, and design-focused builds. Fil-X SBS Filament 1.75mm Purple delivers strong layer adhesion, smooth extrusion, and consistent feeding across most 1.75mm FDM 3D printers.

SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) combines the rigidity of polystyrene with the resilience of polybutadiene, resulting in a material that is tougher than PLA and less brittle under stress. It produces minimal odour during printing and does not readily absorb moisture.

This filament can be chemically smoothed using d-limonene to achieve a refined, glossy surface finish.

### Why Choose SBS?
– Tougher and less brittle than PLA
– Slight flexibility without rubber softness
– Strong impact resistance
– Bold purple finish
– Low moisture absorption
– Can be smoothed with d-limonene
– FDA and EU directive approved for food contact
