Pro-Range TPU 95A Filament 1.75mm 1kg Orange

For Pro-Range TPU 95A, a printing temperature between 210-230°C and a bed temperature of 50-60°C is recommended. Maintain a print speed of 40-80 mm/s to ensure consistent extrusion and prevent tangling, which is common with flexible filaments. A direct drive extruder setup is often beneficial for smoother feeding and better control.

To minimize stringing and oozing, fine-tune your retraction settings. Start with a higher retraction distance and speed, and experiment to find the optimal balance. Ensure your filament is dry, as moisture can significantly contribute to print quality issues like bubbles and stringing. Printing at the lower end of the recommended temperature range can also help.

TPU 95A typically adheres well to various surfaces. A clean glass bed with a thin layer of PVA glue stick or a PEI sheet works effectively. Ensure your bed is properly leveled and heated to 50-60°C. Avoiding excessive first layer squish can prevent over-adhesion, which makes removing flexible prints difficult without damaging them.

While Pro-Range TPU 95A can be printed on most FDM printers, a direct drive extruder setup is highly recommended due to the filament's flexibility. Bowden setups can work but might struggle with pushing the soft filament through long tubes, potentially causing jams or inconsistent extrusion. Enclosed printers are not strictly necessary but can help maintain stable temperatures.
