Product Description

1 mm is the diameter of the filament. The dimensions are 75 mm, shore hardness is 95A, and the dimensional accuracy is The thickness of 05 mm the thickness of The weight is about 8 kg (about
Polyurethane (TPU) is a subclass of thermoplastics that allows you to print strong parts with great flexibility
The printer can be used with all FDM printers on the market, as long as they RepRap and 3D printing compatible with Prusa i3, MakerSelect by Monoprice, SainSmart xCreality, and other printers that use 75 mm filament
Due to its excellent adhesion to the bed and its tendency not to warp, TPU is easy to print with the right settings
Perfect for a number of your projects your kid will love, including shoe insoles, watch band, phone cases, drone parts, and much

Questions & Answers

Can you tell me what the hardness of this material is?

Exactly how can I tell you I don't know. Chewing gum can be quite challenging, isn't it? I can only say the best I can. The material I printed is one of the most flexible I've ever used. Due to its elasticity, it is flexible enough to stretch a little and return to its original size. Rubber bands still work the best, but not as well Nevertheless, it is not a lot. In addition, pulling too hard can lead to deformation. There is no difference between it and Despite its bendability, the tube does not break. You can also choose how stiff the final piece is by changing the setting The rigidity of a solid object is greater than that of The material will flex out of some printer heads - Therefore, it is important to be careful.

Would it be beneficial to have a heated bed to do ?

Without a heated bed, I have printed multiple spools of TPU. In my experience, the best results come from printing directly onto glass, though tape and other materials can also be used.

If I want to use TPU on my hotend extruder, do I need to upgrade it? Would you please tell me what kind of makerbot I have?

My hot end is the Rostock max v2 and I did not have to upgrade it. I found it to melt just fine at around 232 degrees

What are the toxicity levels of PLA and ABS compared to TPU? Using PLA is the only way that I can print since my printer is external to my house and not enclosed. ?

I got a great deal of odor reduction with the TPU I got from SainSmart. The printer odor hasn't been notice at all yet and I use Flex with the printer open all the time. It is not hazardous to the environment in terms of toxicity, but it is a hazardous odor The problem.

A great TPU filament at a great price
5/5

The first reel of this material I received recently was spectacular and I have to say that I am quite pleased with it. Printing flexible filament (Ninjaflex and Filaflex) is normal for me, but this material matches it well. In contrast to the Sainsmart ABS filament, this filament comes on a plastic reel that has a "standard" size bore so that it can be inserted into Based on my checks over the first few meters of filament, the diameter was accurate and consistent. It is noted in these specifications that this material has a durometer of 95A, which makes it less elastic and stiffer This is good in the sense that it is easier to extrude and is generally less "stringy" than 85A filament from competitors, but is not as flexible as 85A filament from * You will still need a thermal tube extruder that can handle flexible filament (with good guidance at the top from the drive "wheel/gear"). In some cases, this material might work better than 85A stuff in a Bowden setup. In the end, I believe that direct drive is the best choice for almost all TPUs. On a Makerbot R2X, I have printed it at 230C, 235C and 240C. In general, the best clarity can be found at 240C, however, the layer definition begins to decrease. Even at 230C, the layers are still extremely good A layer that is fused and adhered to another.

A lot of problems with Quality Control, but Sainsmart is making a concerted effort to rectify them
3/5

Here is what has happened so far My contact at SAINSMART contacted me and offered me a replacement box of filament and to try again. provided them with my address, etc. , but it's been a month but still no filament came, so I will keep my 1 star rating. My review will be updated once the new filament shows up and if it turns out to work. Currently, there is an update of two It did not seem that I was able to get the filament to the correct address after I sent the correct address to SainSmart. Two months after I ordered it, I received it. The third update is as follows It was good to get a chance to use the TPU, but unfortunately it was exhibiting the same exact quality problems that I experienced before. There is a great deal of wasted time. I had to dry the TPU in my food dehydrator overnight before it would print properly because it was full of moisture out of the package. The following are the updates for April My replacements were sent again by SainSmart (but to the wrong address this time). It is a different factory this time, with a different roll. There seems to be a similarity between these rolls and those This one is high on my list of hopes. I am raising my rating by two stars just because Sainsmart is clearly trying to resolve the issue. There is definitely some quality control problem when it works, but when it works it works fine. The attached picture shows what I mean. I plugged up my extruder and had a 23 hour print fail for this reason. A (not pleased! A filament diameter of 1 goes up to a diameter of 2. On average, 69mm of snow cover from 0 to 2 inches. The thickness of the snow is 5mm in some places. My experience has been that it has gone from 1 to 1 over the years. It has an outside diameter of 6mm. The roll of paper I purchased was for a big print job, however I had to purchase 5 rolls of it. Yoyi (I believe) makes cheaper TPU filament that I did not experience any problems with. There is one good thing to note Whenever you get a roll with a long enough section where the diameter is consistent, it prints very well. Bridges were even pretty decent after I got it to work. There is a negative side to all this It's all over the map in terms of diameter. The consistency of the results is lacking. As a result of the spool being wound poorly, the TPU is very wrinkled at the end. An Extruderbolt direct extruder could do quite fine, but an Extruderbolt Bowden will meet its end. To set your printer's settings, click this link The glass bed with the PVA glue coating at 70C was perfect for The first layer of the nozzle needs to be at 230C, then all other layers This will reduce the possibility of strings. (230C is the ideal temperature for good bed adhesion, and 205C reduces the potential for strings). The adhesive properties of the layers are excellent. Print at speed up to 25mm/s with an extruder driven by direct drive. With a Bowden extruder, you can print at a speed of 20mm/s. If only they could do some work to make their product a consistent diameter, then SainSmart would have a good product. There's no way I can just throw away this roll. My other options have to be used at this time because I cannot discard them. It has already been several rolls that have failed, but when you are in the middle of a big print project, you do what has to be done.

It's the best filament I've ever used! I just got this filament in the mail
5/5

The filament that I am printing is my first time using As you can see, I'm quite happy with the result. I was very happy with the printing. The bed was stuck to the mat without any jamming. It came off easily after the print had cooled. There will be more of this to come. Printer )
