Tecnikoa Filatecniko® filaments for 3D printers, available in different colours. Their semi-rigid structure allows you to create 3D objects with the highest possible flexibility while ensuring that they are still easy to print.
More information about TPU filaments for 3D printers
Suitable for printing flexible 3D objects such as toys, beads, ornaments, tablet or phone cases, keyrings, stress toys, bookmarks, or mask holders.
Flexible yet still easy to print. Slightly rigid to make it easier to use and extrude.
Parts created with these filaments have a smooth and soft texture, making it possible to develop shoe inserts and even prosthetic parts.
Suitable for 3D printers with direct or Bowden extrusion systems.
100% recyclable material, similar to PLA filaments in extrusion temperatures, but with a higher compressive and tensile strength.
Wound on clear plastic spools.
Vacuum packed and presented in a cardboard box designed for the filament roll.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
TPU is a material prone to absorb moisture, which could lead to the filament making bubbles or creaking when 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 for 2 hours at a temperature of 60°C.
STORAGE & PRESERVATION
Filaments tend to absorb moisture from the environment, leading to problems during printing or finishing. For this reason, it is important to keep the relative humidity value between 10-15%.
Moisture may cause the filament to degrade, clogging the extruder and varying its physical and mechanical properties.
To keep the filament in good condition, it needs to be stored and dried correctly.
The filament must be stored in airtight containers, preferably vacuum packed. You can use zip bags with silica gel beads, vacuum-sealed bags or food containers with a vacuum seal.
There are many techniques to remove moisture, including:
Conventional methods such as drying the filament in a home oven or a food dehydrator. At low temperatures for long periods of time.
Professional ways such as using a filament dryer.
The useful life of a filament can vary according to different factors. That is why it is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for drying and storage parameters.
