TPU 95A

Intermediate

Thermoplastic Polyurethane 95A Shore Hardness

The most widely used flexible filament in desktop 3D printing. TPU 95A offers a rubber-like feel with enough rigidity to feed through most Bowden and direct-drive extruders. It excels for phone cases, gaskets, and wearable prototypes where controlled flex and impact absorption are required.

Nozzle Temp210–235°C
Bed Temp40–60°C
Print Speed15–30 mm/s

Printing Tips

  • Use a direct-drive extruder whenever possible — Bowden setups compress TPU in the tube and cause jams.
  • Disable retraction entirely or limit it to 0.5-1.0 mm to prevent filament buckling in the extruder.
  • Print slowly at 20-25 mm/s and keep acceleration below 500 mm/s² for reliable extrusion.
  • Remove the filament runout sensor if your printer has one — TPU can stretch and trigger false alarms.
  • Increase flow rate by 5-10% compared to rigid filaments to compensate for the elastic compression.
  • A smooth PEI or glass bed with a thin layer of glue stick provides the best adhesion and clean release.
