Due to its flexibility, TPU requires careful handling. It is highly recommended to use a direct-drive extruder for successful printing and to print at slower speeds to avoid tangles and jams. Keep the filament dry to prevent bubbles and inconsistent extrusion.
Recommended Applications:
Flexible phone cases, wearable parts, and watch straps.
Gaskets, seals, and shock-absorbing components.
Vibration dampeners and flexible prototypes.
Parts that require elasticity and resistance to abrasion.
Key Features & Benefits:
High Flexibility: Creates parts that can bend, stretch, and deform without breaking.
High Durability: Offers excellent resistance to abrasion, oils, grease, and wear.
Consistent Diameter: Crucial for reliable extrusion with flexible filaments.
Vibration Absorption: Ideal for components designed to dampen or absorb vibrations.
