Clearance – TPU Bend Printer Filament – 1.75mm

Description

TPU Bend 3D Printer filament like our normal Bend filament is designed to have characteristics similar to rubber. TPU Filament is a thermoplastic polyurethane, what makes it unique is that it is a slightly harder material, shore hardness 98A (53D), this makes Ooznest Materials TPU Bend Printer filament easier to print than our normal Bend, but a little softness is sacrificed.

WHAT MAKES TPU BEND DIFFERENT?

[divider width=”100%” height=”1px” margin=”0.5em” color=”rgb(0, 0, 0)”] [row] [col span=”6″ span__sm=”12″] TPU Bend 3D Printer filament has better water and chemical resistance than our normal Bend filament. This characteristics makes it more suitable in applications like prosthetics, containers and industry applications. Adding to this it is also more resistance to abrasive wear, perfectly suited when making prosthetics. How flexible is Ooznest Materials TPU Bend? It really depends on the percentage object infill. If you printed a thin walled object it will squash nicely, however print a high percentage infill tyre it will hold its shape well, but still have a nice rubbery consistency to it, it will just bounce when dropped on the floor. Printing with Ooznest Materials TPU Bend 3D Printer filament is even more forgiving than printing with our normal Bend Material. As it is a harder material, a less than perfect direct extruder, or even a well constrained bowden extruder should be able to print it without any issues. TPU Bend can also just be printed on a nice clean, unheated print bed. One note to make about TPU, once in the open air, it will absorb moisture. Our filament is shipped out in a vacuum sealed bag with less than 0.2% moisture content.
