TPU Filament 1.75mm Flexible, 3D Printer Filament Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.03 mm, 0.5 Kg Spool, Black

I purchased this TPU filament with one project in mind and that was to produce some 'Lifting Blocks' for rugby, as they are bandaged just above the knee, they need to be flexible but strong, The filament arrived vacuum packed in a plastic bag with a small bag of silica gel, together with a length of cleaning filament, and all together in a cardboard box. I was surprised how soft TPU is, having previously only printed with PLA. I decided to print using PLA settings and adjust from there. The black is very glossy, I did have some fine stringing and there were one or two gops on the finished item, it was perfectly usable. It adhered well to the base and there was no odour. With some adjustments to the print Temp this will be useful filament. The blocks seem to work but still need more work in design..

The media could not be loaded. My first time printing this type of filament, pleased overall with the results. It does string a LOT but this is typical of all TPU filaments, so be prepared for some clean up.Happy with the results, and no issues printing (Ender 3 Pro with direct Drive and E3Dv6 hotend)PS you need direct drive to print this!

well packaged and airtight with a silica gel bag, Overall the print quality is as you get with any 3D printer it is down to your print settings and bed levelling which is most important, Hardest part was getting it through the bowden tube and into the hot end as being a printable rubber they are not the easiest of filaments to feed in, Once that was done (eventually after a few curse words and a strong cup of tea) the print quality is as you would expect from a tpu bit of stringing but once trimmed off the objects look as good as you could possibly get with a hot rubber print, First off went small and printed off some rubber feet for a crockery drainer that sits on the draining board, They come out fine with a bit of stringing on the tips of the feet after trimming that off thay look as good as the original hard plastic ones but being rubber they stick to the drainer a lot better now2nd round of printing was for a set of tank tracks 140 pieces all in all printed 70 out at a time and there was a fair bit of stringing but the tracks are quite complicated in design in how they connect together, Once the printer had done the job tracks were removed and cleaned up and the results were quite impressive, Quite bendy and pliable as you would expect, So far i've managed to put about 30 sections together mainly due to time constraintsPrinter used: Anycubic ChironBed temperature 60'C for 1st layer, 55'C for 2 layers then down to 50'C until the print is finishedNozzle temp 210'C seemed to work best with standard cura print settingsi'll add some photos as soon as i can find them on the mobile

This filament works really well. I use it in a machine which isn't really designed for TPU (it has a Bowden type extruder) but it still works really well and would recommend

Great print quality and good bed adhesion.

Easy to print with, and great finished quality!

I tried for hours to get this working with my original bowden tube setup on my Ender 5 Pro, but it always ended in failure no matter what I tried. The filament is too flexible and therefore gets stretched and squished in the bowden tube which results in a failed print every time.After recently purchasing and fitting a direct drive kit for my printer I was finally able to get this filament to work properly and actually print something. I printed a tyre for a model I’m making and it came out quite well. I printed at a nozzle temp of 220 which seemed to work well.The filament comes well packaged and is vacuum packed but a resealable bag is not included which is a shame. It’s something I feel all filament reels should come with.It’s a good filament once printed but you will need to tweak your settings to get it just right. Good luck!

It was the flexible filaments that garnered my interest into 3D printing initially and was pleased to see Amazon accommodating not only the more generic types but in addition the filaments that are a little more adventurous such as TPU.What I did notice was that this was able to print out from following designs for both flexible and non flexible use very well once the settings were adjusted accordingly.Ender 3 and Ender 5 Plus were the machines usedThe Ender 3 that produced the pictured heart pots with this particular Filament was set to a printing temperature of 235 and a printing speed of 50 millimetres per second, an initial layer speed of 20 millimetres per second, a layer height of 0.25 millimetres and a retraction speed of 25 millimetres per second (2mm retraction distance).Using a 0.8 nozzle made a huge difference. The Filament expands just a little too much for a smaller nozzle, although it did print still, the finish was either unfinished or rather experimental looking! Why let it struggle when it is just a case of changing the nozzle!I found the pot and it's lid for the larger heart pod was best printing out seperately because of the lid handle readjoining unintentionally by that all familiar spider web effect!The smooth satin sheen finish is stunning, this Filament is plentiful and fantastic value for money, I am considering purchasing some of the further colours available. This is certainly able to do the job and managed some rather intricate detailing in the process! (perhaps if looking for the absolute professional finish then a more expensive Filament may be more suited) , this is however still very good value and am pleased with the results.
