Polypropylene properties:
- non-toxic and odorless
- high resistance to chemicals
- resistance to mechanical damage
- very good adhesion between the print layers
Fiberlogy PP in Action
A practical example of polypropylene application is the Vision Velo mudguard, developed in collaboration with the Seton Tuning DH Team. The use of 3D printing and the right material made it possible to create a component that combines lightness, durability, and a perfect fit for demanding off-road riding conditions. Thanks to its exceptional flexibility, impact resistance, and weather resistance, it is an ideal choice for manufacturing dedicated cycling accessories.

How to print Polypropylene?
The following parameters are only suggested print settings for this material. To ensure the best print quality, it is necessary to choose the appropriate settings for a specific printer and printing conditions.
| Nozzle Temperature | 220-250°C |
| Bed Temperature | not required when using a packing tape |
| Closed chamber | not required |
| Fan | 0-50% |
| Flowrate | 100-105% |
| Printing Speed | < 45 mm/s |
| Surface | packing tape |
| Retraction (direct) | 2-3 mm |
| Retraction (bowden) | 4-6 mm |
| Retraction Speed | 20-45 mm/s |
Fiberlogy PP has been positively assessed in the Open Filament Program (OFP) project run by Raise3D:
| Diameter | Diameter tol | Oval tol | Printing temp | Table temp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1.75 mm | +/- 0.02 mm | + 0.01 mm | 220-250°C | not required |
