Recently bought myself some SBS black and transparent filament, since I was curious and it appears to only be locally available and there isn't a lot of information available on it:
1. Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene filament
2. SBS is known for its flexibility, durability, and rubber-like properties. You can imagine it like a 95A or more shore hardness TPU.
3. It surprisingly prints quite cold. npub1yrlmnr0y2ch5ycn38j2navyduf5q6tqyd0led3p7xhwmzwcrlsaq558gpm (npub1yrl…8gpm) suggest trying to print it at 250 instead of the recommended 215. This did help achieve a higher flow rate, but had other effects.
4. TPU is known for being horrible with supports. SBS prints quite well with supports, with them simply snapping off. Increasing the temperature made this more difficult.
5. You can push this fillament crazy fast. I easily printed with a VF of 20, which is weird for such a flexible filament.
6. Bed adhesion at 70C was great, without any adhesive and it simply pops off when the bed cools down for a few minutes.
