Flexible Aramid Honeycomb Cores
- Color: Orange
- Temperature Range: -100° to 350° F
- Yield Strength: Not Rated
- For Use Outdoors: No
As a strong, lightweight, and buoyant alternative to solid panels, these aramid honeycomb cores are used to make interior wall panels and floor boards in marine, structural, and industrial applications. Compared to aluminum honeycomb cores, they're lightweight and more flexible, so you'll often find them lining boats and high-speed cars. However, they’re not as strong as aluminum cores. Aramid cores also resist flames, self-extinguish without melting or dripping, and are thermal and electrical insulators. Aramid is commonly known as Nomex.
Large-Adjustment Slotted Shims
Use these thick shims to align cabinets, doors, and windows, or for other rough leveling. They're color-coded by thickness for easy identification. The slot makes it easy to insert, remove, and adjust the shims. Shims are made of plastic to resist moisture and prevent rot.

Self-Retracting Hard Plastic Tubing for Air and Water
- Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Barbed and Push to Connect Tube Fittings
- Hardness:
Inch: Hard (Rockwell R80)
Metric: Hard (Rockwell R75) - Temperature Range: -40° to 180° F
Keep your work area tidy with this coiled tubing that extends when you need it and retracts out of the way when you don’t. Tubing is made of tough and abrasion-resistant nylon. It is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.
Opaque tubing doesn’t allow you to see what’s flowing through the line.
Note: Length refers to the length you can extend the tubing. Overstretching can cause the tubing to lose its ability to fully retract back to its normal state. Retracted length refers to the length of the tubing when coiled.

Choose-a-Color Soft Plastic Tubing for Air and Water
To identify lines at a glance, use different colored tubing as a color code. Tubing is clear, with either a colored tint or a colored stripe, so you can see what’s flowing through the line. Made of PVC, it is the industry standard for air and water applications. Tubing is flexible to easily bend around objects.
FB70-PVC tubing resists odor and taste transfer.
Tubing that is FDA compliant and meets NSF/ANSI 51 is safe for contact with food and beverages.

Extreme-Pressure Hard Plastic Tubing for Chemicals
- Flexibility: Semi-Flexible
- Compatible with Compression Tube Fittings
- Hard (See table for hardness rating)
- Temperature Range: See table
A lightweight alternative to stainless steel, this PEEK plastic tubing can handle extreme-pressure applications and has excellent impact resistance. It has the chemical resistance to withstand a variety of acids and other harsh substances. Tubing is opaque, so you cannot see inside the line to monitor flow. It is semi-flexible, so it’s good for gradual bends.
Note: The walls of this tubing will permanently collapse if bent too far.

Crack-Resistant Firm Plastic Tubing for Food and Beverage
This tubing offers superior impact and crack resistance—even at low temperatures. Made of FDA listed materials, it is suitable for use with food and beverage. It is made without plasticizers like DEHP, so it won’t impart tastes or odors to the fluid passing through it. Tubing is semi-flexible, so it is good for gradual bends.
Polyethylene tubing can withstand lower temperatures and higher pressures than EVA tubing.

Easy-to-Print 3D Printer Filaments
The most commonly used 3D printing material, these PLA filaments make detailed parts at a low melting point, so they won’t warp as they cool, rarely clog nozzles, and don’t require a heated printer bed. They’re also unlikely to drip and produce plastic strings for a clean finished part. In general, they’re best for printing prototypes instead of load-bearing parts since they’re not as strong as ABS or as heat resistant as PEEK. These filaments don’t emit toxic fumes, which means you can safely print them without ventilation. Print them on a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer.
PHA-filled PLA and PLA+ filaments produce better layer adhesion and overall strength than unfilled PLA filaments.
Wood-filled PLA filaments mimic wood without actual wood powder, and exhibit similar density and appearance to wood. You can sand, paint, and stain your part.
Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament’s overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it’s the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.
Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your part will start to lose structural integrity. Filaments that can be annealed are also rated for maximum temperature after annealing, which is the new maximum exposure temperature once that process completes.

Dremel 3D Printer Filaments
Build parts and prototypes from these filaments using Dremel fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. An RFID tag on the spool communicates with your printer, automatically adjusting it to the correct temperature and print speed for the filament material and notifying you when the filament is running out.
PLA filaments are the most commonly used in 3D printing. PLA is easy to use; it rarely clogs nozzles, doesn’t require a heated printer bed, and prints at a low temperature—meaning parts won’t warp while cooling. It produces string-free parts, so you can use it to print with a high level of detail. Less durable and more sensitive to heat than ECO-ABS, PLA is better for printing prototypes than end-use parts.
Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.

Impact-Resistant ABS 3D Printer Filaments
Bumps, scrapes, and falls won’t damage these tough ABS filaments. Known for their durability, they absorb impact without cracking or breaking, and won’t degrade when heated. Use them to print tool handles, storage cases, and other parts that are handled or dropped frequently. These filaments are a good place to start if you’re experimenting with printing impact-resistant parts.
Use with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. These filaments have a high melting point and must be printed onto a heated bed. Without it, parts will cool too quickly and warp. These filaments also release fumes as they are printed, so use an enclosed printer or a fume exhauster to ventilate them.
Tensile strength is the best measure of a filament's overall strength. Similar to the stress applied on a rope during a game of tug-of-war, it's the amount of pulling force a material can handle before breaking. A higher rating means a stronger filament. A tensile strength of 5,000 psi and above is considered good; 12,000 psi and above is excellent.
Maximum exposure temperature is the point at which a printed part will begin to deform. Above this temperature, your printed parts will start to lose structural integrity.

Flexible TPU 3D Printer Filaments
Stretchy, soft, and sturdy, these filaments make durable parts that resist breakage despite repeated use. Stronger than ABS and PLA filaments, they create long-lasting parts, such as seals, sleeves, and gaskets, as well as components that take on high-impact forces, such as springs and snap-fit parts. These filaments don't require a heated printer bed, and they won't shrink or warp when cooling. Use them with a fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printer. In general, these flexible filaments require a slow feed rate so they don't jam. The softer your filament, the slower your feed rate will need to be. Store them in a sealed container with a desiccant, or use a dehumidifying cabinet, since ambient humidity will cause the plastic to degrade and weaken.
For the most flexible parts, use durometer 85A or 80A filaments. They're more flexible than other TPU filaments. For a quick print without sacrificing flexibility, choose durometer 95A filaments. They print much faster than other TPU filaments.

Colorants for Plastic Pellets
Add color when making plastic parts. Also called masterbatches, these colorants contain a base plastic that works with a variety of plastic types—from general purpose polypropylene to tough ABS. This means you don’t need to stock up on colorants for each type. Mix them in with your pellets before melting. To get a rich color for most plastic, you need only 1-2% of colorant in your batch, since they’re concentrated.
