Description

TPU Filament Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) is a flexible plastic that retains its shape and form. It is a bendable yet strong and durable plastic that draws comparisons to rubber. TPU filament is semi-transparent as well as very elastic. TPU plastic is also very resistant to oils and grease but must be kept away from solvents, acids, and fuels. Cleaning a printed part is easy and can be accomplished with mild soap. There are many everyday uses for TPU as a plastic. TPU plastic is used in car parts to power tools and medical devices. TPU is also very popular in protective cases for mobile phones and tablets due to its high flexibility.

This stuff is really cool, once you figure out your set up for it. It can be frustrating at first, but I'm getting consistent great results now with my Flashforge Creator Pro, NO modifications needed to extruders. Note that the recent FF heads (2015 models) have a slightly different configuration in the pinch roller that seems to work better with flex fliament. Most of the info on the web insisting that you just can't print TPU with a FF extruder were probably written for earlier models. The secret is you have to print SLOW. No really, SLOW DOWN! SLOWER THAN THAT! My settings: extrude at 210C, bed at 70C, active nozzle cooling on (especially important for sparse infill), base speed = 1000 mm/min. Yeah, that's 17 mm/sec. I normally print at 50-60 mm/sec. It is glacial, but it works. Dial up the retraction to at least 6mm to reduce stringing, which slows things as well. You weren't in a hurry were you? Prints are flexible, but not squishy, unless you print hollow or very thin shapes. I love the texture. Color is more magenta than red honestly, and semi-translucent, but not transparent. Similar look to PETG, but smoother surfaces.
