TPU Filament AnyCubic IPHTPCG-102 Transparent Green 1 kg — flexible 3D printing filament

AnyCubic TPU Filament IPHTPCG-102 in Transparent Green is a 1 kg spool of flexible thermoplastic polyurethane for FDM/FFF 3D printers. The material combines rubber-like softness with high tensile strength and wear resistance, making it suitable for parts that require elasticity, impact absorption and prolonged use.

Advantages

The filament provides pronounced elasticity and a soft, pleasant surface feel while maintaining high tear and abrasion resistance. It prints with stable flow when settings are tuned, produces durable parts that resist oils and mechanical wear, and is available in a translucent green color for visible but subtle finishes.

Suitable for

• Flexible functional parts (gaskets, seals)
• Wearable items (wristbands, straps, phone cases)
• Vibration dampers and shock-absorbing components
• Toy wheels and flexible prototypes

When it may not be suitable

This TPU is not ideal for very rigid structural parts that require high stiffness or load-bearing capacity. It also requires tuned printer settings and, for best results, pre-drying; inexperienced users may face stringing or feeding issues on some machines, especially without appropriate extrusion settings for flexible filaments.

Key specifications

• Color: transparent green

• Elongation at break: 697%
• Deformation resistance (heat deflection): 52 °C
• Pre-curing / drying: recommended (curing conditions 70–80 °C for 8 h)

How to use

Load the 1 kg spool into a printer configured for flexible filaments. Use a direct-drive extruder or tune a Bowden setup to prevent filament buckling and feeding problems. Set nozzle temperature between 195 and 230 °C and a heated bed to 50–60 °C. Start with moderate print speeds and adjust between 50 and 150 mm/s according to model complexity. Pre-dry the filament if it has been exposed to humidity and consider enabling retraction and other slicer profiles tailored for TPU to reduce stringing.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your printer and extruder type are compatible with flexible TPU filaments.
• Plan for filament drying and storage to avoid moisture-related defects.
• Confirm required print temperatures and adjust slicer profiles for TPU.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, use a direct-drive extruder or slow, well-tuned Bowden settings, pre-dry the filament at 70–80 °C for up to 8 hours if needed, and start with conservative retraction and speed settings to minimise stringing while preserving flexibility.
