Description

eSUN eLastic (TPE-83A) filament is a high-performance Thermoplastic Elastomer, combining properties of plastic and rubber to deliver unparalleled bending and flexural strength. This material boasts an impressive elongation before breaking, making it ideal for unique applications where traditional rigid filaments fall short. Despite its unique mechanical properties, eLastic TPE is relatively straightforward to print, requiring no specialized tools or extreme temperatures, and operates within similar ranges to PLA+ filaments. This accessibility ensures that both experienced makers and beginners can successfully utilize this exciting material with minimal calibration.

Featuring a Shore Hardness of 83A, eSUN eLastic is among the softer and more widely available flexible filaments on the market, offering a delicate and soft hand feel compared to harder flexible options like TPU-95A. Its strong flexibility, high resilience, and excellent wear resistance make it a durable choice for functional components. This material is designed to expand the possibilities of 3D printing, enabling the creation of parts that require significant give, stretch, and recovery in their final form.

Key Features

  • High elasticity and exceptional flexibility for dynamic applications.
  • Superior tenacity, ensuring strong and durable printed parts.
  • Excellent impact resistance, protecting components from sudden forces.
  • Soft and tactile feel, suitable for ergonomic and comfort-focused designs.
  • Sturdy and durable, offering long-lasting performance in demanding environments.
  • Low surface friction, reducing wear in moving assemblies.
  • 83A Shore Hardness for significant pliability and rebound.

Applications

  • Sports equipment components requiring flexibility and impact absorption.
  • Industrial parts like gaskets, seals, and vibration dampeners.
  • Flexible elements for shoe materials and footwear prototyping.
  • Automotive parts such as interior trim, bellows, and wiring harnesses.
  • Functional prototypes demanding high elasticity and resilience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What specific printer settings are recommended for eSUN eLastic TPE-83A?

For optimal results with eSUN eLastic TPE-83A, an extruder temperature between 220-250°C and a heatbed temperature of 45-60°C are advised. A printing speed of 20-50mm/s is crucial to prevent tangling, and a 100% cooling fan setting helps maintain layer adhesion and reduce stringing. Consider direct drive extruders for best flexible filament performance.

How can I improve bed adhesion when printing with flexible TPE filaments?

Achieving good bed adhesion with TPE-83A can be improved by using a heated bed set to 45-60°C. Applying a layer of PVA-based glue stick or a dedicated adhesive spray to the build surface can significantly enhance first-layer stick. Ensure your print bed is level and clean for reliable adhesion, preventing warping or detachment during printing.

Is eSUN eLastic TPE-83A prone to moisture absorption, and how should it be stored?

Like many thermoplastic elastomers, eSUN eLastic TPE-83A can absorb moisture, which may lead to print quality issues such as bubbles or weakened layers. It is best stored in a sealed, airtight container with desiccant packets when not in use. If moisture is suspected, dry the filament in a filament dryer or oven at 50-60°C for 4-6 hours before printing.

What are the ideal applications for a TPE filament with 83A Shore Hardness?

An 83A Shore Hardness TPE filament like eSUN eLastic is ideal for applications requiring extreme flexibility, soft touch, and high resilience. This includes functional parts such as seals, gaskets, protective cases, flexible hinges, vibration dampeners, and ergonomic grips. Its ability to stretch and recover makes it suitable for components needing dynamic movement and impact absorption.
