Flashforge Elastic TPU95A Natural 1.75 mm 500 g

Flashforge Elastic TPU95A Natural, available in 1.75 mm diameter and 500 g spools, is a premium Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) designed for projects requiring flexibility and durability. With a Shore hardness of 95A, this filament offers an excellent balance between soft elasticity and structural integrity. It features high abrasion resistance, oil resistance, and good recovery properties, making it perfect for functional prototypes and end-use parts. The 'Natural' color is uncolored and translucent, highlighting the material's purity and allowing for post-processing dyeing if desired. For optimal printing results, a nozzle temperature between 220 °C and 240 °C is recommended, along with a heated bed temperature of 40 °C to 60 °C. Due to the flexible nature of TPU, a Direct Drive extruder is highly recommended to prevent feeding issues common with Bowden setups. Reducing print speed to 20–40 mm/s ensures accuracy. Suitable applications include seals, phone cases, protective covers, hinges, and dampening elements. While TPU95A is resistant to many solvents, users should note that the surface finish may appear slightly rougher compared to rigid plastics depending on print settings.
