Full answers belowBest for: Prototypes, gaskets, cushions, grips, protective covers, flexible connectors Not ideal for: Rigid structural brackets (recommend PETG/PLA+), high-precision appearance parts, load/sealing duty without confirmed durometer data
Nozzle 220°C · Bed 30-50°C
Bends and rebounds without cracking - printed prototype gaskets, cushions and grips come off the plate ready for fit checks.
Neatly wound, tangle-free spools prevent the mid-print snags that flexible TPU is most sensitive to
winding is checked before packing.
Vacuum sealed with desiccant because TPU absorbs moisture faster than rigid PLA
