INDEX
DESCRIPTION
- Suitable for creating 3D objects with a flexible surface such as toys, beads, ornaments, mobile or tablet cases, keychains, stress balls, bookmarks, etc.
- Semi-rigid, with a low "soft" to facilitate printing. Slightly rigid to aid extrusion and use
- The pieces created with these filaments have a soft and smooth texture. Ideal for shoe templates and prosthetic parts
- Compatible with 3D printers with direct or Bowden extruders
- 100% recyclable material similar to PLA filaments in extrusion temperatures but with greater compression and tensile strength
- Wound on reels or transparent plastic spools
- Presented vacuum-sealed inside a cardboard case designed for the filament roll
THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
- TPU is prone to absorbing moisture. When this happens, the filament bubbles or "cracks" during printing
- To remove moisture, you can use any of the following strategies:
- Leave the filament in a closed room with a dehumidifier for 24 hours
- Place the filament in an oven at a temperature of 60 °C for 2 hours
STORAGE AND PRESERVATION
- Filaments absorb moisture, which can affect printing and finish. Therefore, it is crucial to keep the relative humidity between 10-15%
- Moisture degrades the filament, causing extruder jams and altering its physical and mechanical properties
- Proper storage and drying process are important to maintain the filament in good condition
- The filament should be stored in airtight and preferably vacuum-sealed containers. Zip bags with silica gel beads, vacuum-sealed bags, or vacuum-sealed food containers can be used
- There are various techniques to remove moisture, including:
- Conventional methods such as drying in a domestic oven or a food dehydrator. At low temperatures and for long periods
- Professional methods like filament dryers
- The shelf life of a filament can vary depending on various factors; thus, it is important to follow the manufacturer's recommendations regarding drying and storage parameters
