TPU (THERMOPLASTIC POLYURETHANE)

General

TPU with hardness Shore 93A. It’s bouncy yet firm, suitable for all kinds of fun applications as well as for printing gaskets, tires, seals, and ice trays. Spool weight: 500g

Printing Guidelines

  • Print Temperature: 215 – 225°C
  • Bed Temperature: 40 – 80°C
  • Bed Adhesion: Glue stick on glass, no additional adhesive needed on PEI sheeting or blue tape.
  • Part cooling fan: Medium to high speed
  • You will want to print FlexD a lot slower than stiffer filaments, you should start with a print speed of 15mm/s, you may be able to increase this value to around 25mm/s if you are printing hot enough.
  • You will also want to have the retraction turned off, once you start having good extrusion results you may be able to introduce a small amount of retraction to clean up the surface quality but do so with caution, and only use minimal amounts.
