What does Shore 95A mean, and why does hardness matter?
Shore 95A is the hardness of the printed material: on the soft-to-hard scale of flexible filament it sits in the middle, softer than a stiff filament such as PLA or ABS but firmer than a very soft rubber-like grade. That middle position is what makes it useful - soft enough to conform to a mating surface and seal, firm enough to hold a thread, a snap fit or a machined edge without collapsing. It compresses and springs back, and it resists abrasion and oils.
