Update of co-founder Brian

Until now makers working with the Ultimaker printers, other 2.85mm or bowden printers haven’t had the chance to test WillowFlex. That is changing now!
BioInspiration will have the first 120 spools WillowFlex 2,85mm in Charcoal, Engine Red and Natural ready to ship on the 9th of June. To be part of this first production run, you can pre-order on the BioInspiration online shop.

sounds almost exactly like any other flexible pla. ie: biodegradable and made from natural, organic products.

Is it actually made from willow trees ? because that would be different :-)

I am comparing elastic filaments - Willowflex looks promising. Thank you for supplying a datasheet but I am missing two important characteristics: elongation at break and shore A hardness. Can you provide me with these? A rough estimate will do as well - thanks in advance!

Thanks to curious aardvark and ralphzoontjens for taking a look at our Eco-Filament.
Concerning the difference to other biodegradable PLA you can find furtehr information in our
But definitely WillowFlex is a Filament with a specific combination of different values (as shown in the image) that allows maker new innovative 3D Print Projects like this one.

Thanks for the feedback. In this video made for our crowdfunding campaign you can see how it resists boiling water for a cup of tea.

And in the last post i forgot to put the link to our FAQs for further information.
