Flexible TPU 3D Printer Filament POLYMAKER PD03007 TPU95-HF, high-speed flexible filament

POLYMAKER PD03007 TPU95-HF is a high-speed thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filament formulated for 3D printing flexible, durable parts. The material combines elasticity with impact resistance and improved printability at elevated extrusion speeds. It is intended for applications that require soft-touch surfaces, reliable layer bonding and long-term deformation recovery, while enabling faster production compared with standard flexible filaments.

Advantages

TPU95-HF delivers a balance of flexibility and strength, with good abrasion and impact resistance. The compound is optimized for higher printing speeds, reducing print time without sacrificing layer adhesion or surface quality. It prints reliably on a wide range of FDM/FFF printers configured for flexible materials and offers consistent dimensional stability and minimal warping for small-series production and prototyping.

Suitable for

• Wearable prototypes and soft-touch enclosures
• Gaskets, seals and shock-absorbing components
• Flexible hinges, clips and snap-fit parts
• Functional prototypes and short-run production of elastomeric parts

Key specifications

• Material type: thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
• Flexibility: high elasticity with rapid recovery
• Mechanical properties: impact-resistant and abrasion-resistant
• Printing characteristics: formulated for higher extrusion speeds and improved layer adhesion
• Compatibility: suitable for FDM/FFF printers configured for flexible filaments
• Dimensional stability: low warping, consistent extrusion for small-series production

How to use

Load the filament onto a printer capable of handling flexible materials, ensuring a guided filament path and a compatible extruder (direct drive or optimized Bowden setup for TPU). Use nozzle temperatures, print speeds and retraction settings recommended by the printer or filament supplier for flexible TPU95 formulations. Prepare the build plate with an appropriate adhesive or surface to promote first-layer adhesion and adjust layer height and extrusion multiplier to achieve the desired balance of detail and flexibility. Monitor the initial layers to confirm consistent extrusion and bed adhesion.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use moderate to high extrusion speeds within the filament’s recommended range while keeping retraction minimal to avoid clogging. Ensure a stable feed path and consider lowering travel speeds to reduce stringing. Store spool in a dry environment or sealed bag with desiccant to preserve material properties.
