TPU filament POLYMAKER 1.75 mm, teal, 0.75 kg (PD01016)

POLYMAKER TPU filament in teal is a flexible 1.75 mm material supplied on a 0.75 kg spool for FDM/FFF 3D printers that support elastomeric filaments. Engineered to combine elasticity with abrasion resistance, this TPU is suitable for printing wearable parts, seals, functional prototypes and other components that require resilience and repeated deformation. The filament's 1.75 mm diameter and consistent extrusion profile help maintain dimensional stability and predictable layer adhesion when used with appropriate printer settings for flexible materials.

Advantages

This TPU filament offers a balance of flexibility and toughness, delivering reliable elasticity while resisting wear in moving or contact surfaces. Its uniform diameter and quality control reduce printing artifacts and clogging risks when the printer is configured for soft filaments. The teal color provides a distinct aesthetic option for visible parts and prototypes where color differentiation is beneficial.

Suitable for

• Wearable parts such as straps, bands and grips
• Seals, gaskets and vibration-damping components
• Functional prototypes requiring flex and rebound
• Touch-friendly enclosures and assembly parts

Key specifications

• Material type: Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
• Nominal diameter: 1.75 mm
• Spool weight: 0.75 kg
• Color: Teal
• Compatibility: FDM/FFF 3D printers capable of printing flexible filaments

How to use

Load the filament on a printer configured for flexible materials, ensuring the filament path minimizes sharp bends and long Bowden tubes where possible. Use a direct-drive extruder or a Bowden setup optimized for TPU, set appropriate print temperatures and retraction parameters for flexible filament, and calibrate print speed and extrusion flow to avoid under- or over-extrusion. Print on a clean bed surface with suitable adhesion settings; many users find low print speeds and moderate extrusion temperatures produce best results with TPU.

Usage recommendations

To achieve consistent results: use a direct-drive extruder if available, keep print speed low (often 15–30 mm/s depending on the model), reduce retraction distance, and store the spool in a dry environment to prevent moisture uptake. Adjust print temperature and bed adhesion according to your printer and part requirements.
