ROSA3D TPU 96A Filament, 1.75mm, Neon Yellow, 0.5kg

ROSA3D TPU 96A is a high-quality, flexible thermoplastic polyurethane filament designed for 3D printing enthusiasts and professionals. With a diameter of 1.75mm, this neon yellow material provides a balance between elasticity and structural integrity, making it suitable for a wide range of functional applications. It is engineered to be compatible with both Bowden and direct-drive extrusion systems, ensuring reliable performance across various FDM/FFF 3D printers without the need for a closed chamber.

Advantages

The primary benefit of ROSA3D TPU 96A is its exceptional interlayer adhesion, which results in durable and resilient prints. The material is highly resistant to mechanical damage, oils, greases, and various chemical solvents, ensuring longevity in demanding environments. Its high elasticity allows printed parts to be stretched and compressed repeatedly while maintaining their original shape. Furthermore, the filament is produced from components compliant with food contact regulations, providing versatility for specialized projects.

Suitable for

• Protective smartphone cases and covers
• Custom gaskets and seals
• Anti-vibration dampers and feet
• Components for RC cars and drones
• Orthopedic supports and flexible housings

This filament may not be suitable for applications requiring extreme rigidity or high-temperature structural stability beyond its softening point. Additionally, users with printers that have very long or poorly constrained Bowden tubes may experience feeding difficulties compared to stiffer materials like PLA or PETG.

How to use

To achieve optimal results, ensure your print bed is clean and level. ROSA3D TPU 96A adheres well to surfaces such as glass, smooth or textured PEI, and aluminum. Set your print speed between 15 and 50 mm/s, starting at a slower pace to ensure consistent extrusion. Adjust cooling fans between 50% and 100% depending on the complexity and geometry of your model to maintain detail and prevent overheating.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify your printer's extrusion system compatibility for flexible filaments.
• Ensure your slicer settings are adjusted for TPU, specifically regarding retraction and speed.
• Consider the neon yellow color for high-visibility applications.
• Note that final food-contact certification depends on the manufacturer of the finished printed part.

Usage recommendations

For the best results, store the filament in a dry, cool place to prevent moisture absorption. If the filament has been exposed to humidity, consider drying it before use to maintain print quality and prevent bubbling during extrusion.
