3D filament ROSA3D TPU 96A transparent 1.75 mm 1 kg

ROSA3D TPU 96A transparent 1.75 mm 1 kg is a flexible thermoplastic polyurethane filament designed for FDM/FFF 3D printers. With a nominal diameter of 1.75 mm and a net spool weight of 1 kg, this transparent TPU offers high Shore 96A hardness that combines elasticity with good abrasion and tear resistance. The material is intended for parts that require flexibility and durability while maintaining dimensional stability during printing.

Advantages

The filament provides a balance of stiffness and flexibility suitable for functional prototypes and end-use parts. Its high Shore hardness improves wear resistance and load-bearing capacity compared with softer TPUs, while the transparent color enables visual inspection of internal features and layered structures. The filament is compatible with standard FDM/FFF extruders and is formulated to minimize stringing and oozing when printing with appropriate settings.

Suitable for

• Flexible connectors, gaskets and seals
• Wearable prototypes and protective components
• Impact-resistant housings and bumpers
• Functional hinges and snap-fit parts requiring limited elongation

Key specifications

• Material type: Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU)
• Shore hardness: 96A
• Color: Transparent/clear
• Diameter: 1.75 mm nominal
• Net weight: 1 kg
• Printing technology: FDM/FFF
• Mechanical properties: high abrasion and tear resistance, moderate elasticity

How to use

Load the ROSA3D TPU 96A filament into an FDM/FFF printer with a compatible direct or Bowden extruder. Use a nozzle temperature typically in the range recommended for TPU materials and set the print bed to a temperature that promotes adhesion without excessive warping. Print at moderate speeds and enable retraction and coasting settings appropriate for flexible filaments to reduce stringing. Ensure the filament path to the hotend is constrained to avoid buckling or compression inside the extruder.

Usage recommendations

For reliable results, print on a clean, flat surface such as PEI, glass with an appropriate adhesion aid, or textured build plates. Start with conservative print speeds and adjust temperature and retraction incrementally. Store the filament in a dry environment or sealed packaging with desiccant to prevent moisture uptake that can affect print quality.
