3D printing material Prima Creator PC-ETPU95-175-0500-TN TPU Transparent 500 g 1.75 mm

The PrimaCreator EasyPrint FLEX 95A is a high-quality thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filament designed for 3D printing flexible and durable components. With a diameter of 1.75 mm and a transparent finish, this 500 g spool provides excellent material consistency for various additive manufacturing projects. Its formulation ensures that printed objects maintain flexibility while offering significant resistance to environmental factors, making it a reliable choice for functional prototypes and end-use parts.

Advantages

This filament stands out due to its user-friendly nature and high performance during the printing process. The material is engineered for perfect spooling, which effectively prevents tangling and ensures a smooth, uninterrupted feed into your 3D printer. With a Shore hardness of 95A, it strikes an ideal balance between flexibility and structural integrity. Furthermore, the filament is UV-stable, as well as resistant to oils, greases, and various chemicals, ensuring that your prints remain durable even when exposed to demanding conditions.

Suitable for

• Flexible gaskets and seals
• Custom insoles and footwear components
• Ergonomic handles and grips
• Outdoor components requiring UV resistance
• Protective covers and flexible housings

When it may not be suitable

This material may not be the best choice for applications requiring extreme rigidity or high-temperature structural stability, as it is designed specifically for flexibility. Additionally, users with 3D printers that do not support flexible filaments, such as those with long Bowden tube setups, may experience feeding difficulties without hardware modifications.

How to use

To achieve the best results, ensure your 3D printer is calibrated for flexible materials. It is recommended to use a direct-drive extruder for optimal control over the filament path. Load the spool onto your printer and feed the filament through the extruder. Adjust your printing temperature within the specified range of 180°C to 230°C based on your printer's specific cooling and speed settings. Monitor the first layer adhesion closely to ensure a stable base for your flexible print.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your 3D printer is compatible with flexible TPU filaments.
• Check if your printer's extruder type is suitable for 95A hardness materials.
• Consider the intended application to ensure the 500 g spool size meets your project requirements.

Usage recommendations: Store the filament in a cool, dry place and use a filament dryer if the material has been exposed to humidity to maintain optimal print quality and prevent bubbling during extrusion.
