  • description

This category of 3d printing filament feels just like rubber. TPE is a copolymer which means it has both elastic and plastic properties. TPE filaments are used in prototypes which need parts that require bending or flexibility.

The layer to layer adhesion is impressive in elastomer TPE, so there are minimal chances that your print will separate after cooling.

It is heavily used in commercial applications such as automotive parts, medical supplies, shoe soles, weather sealing for doors and windows, electrical insulation, smartphone covers, and wristbands.

It has good weather, ozone, and UV resistance.

This extremely flexible 3D printing filament will allow you to create prints which have properties of a soft rubber, making it even more elastic than PLA. Since it is quite flexible, speed needs to be slow during the printing process because these filaments can bind to the extruder. The printing temperature needs to be between 225-235C.

TPE is not soluble, but it is ideal for making toys, novelty items, belts, caps, bumpers, etc.

I had a great experience with this tpe product. it is very durable and strong. It is difficult for those beginners. I strongly advise you to put a blue paint tape on the bed so that it adheres better to the tape with good heat.

It turned out great. I printed a bench out of it. There was a little bit of stringing as to be expected with tpe. I printed a grip for the upper part of my hockey stick. I used the fuzzy skin setting on cura to increase grip. It works super well. Tips: Print at max temp(helps not clog up) Use a brim Get magigoo TPE(It saves the hassle of getting it to stick.)

I concur with Dale's experiences. This is the softest, closest to rubber filament I have yet used, but it does not stick very well and required glue stick 60ish degrees bed temp (I think as to keep the glue from detaching as it does with higher temps) and a brim. Outside of that though, that I was able to print the tire shown in the image on a bowden style, unmodified CR-6 is pretty cool. Most other TPUs make poor tires because they aren't soft or grippy enough, but this legitimately feels like a lego tire or even softer. It has excellent grip on carpet. Its filaments like these at reasonable prices which are this sites selling point. Like this or soft pla.

This product is strong and durable. The only thing I didn't like about it is that it was pure torcher to get it to stick to the glass bed. I tried everything under the kitchen sink and then some. The only solution was what I read in the blogs and was my last resort. A white paper held down with blue masking tape. Go figure. It absorbs the oils in the TPE. What a relief.
