Flexible 98A Soft filament from AzureFilm is a high-quality TPU filament. Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is an extremely flexible and durable material. It is resistant to impact, abrasion and wear. The material has good mechanical properties and provides excellent adhesion between individual layers. It ensures sharp prints without stringing, warping or clogging.
Compared with TPE, TPU filament from AzureFilm is slightly stiffer, which is a good feature for 3D printing because it makes it more suitable for printing. It is also a bit stronger and can retain its elasticity better in cold weather.
Flexible filament of hardness 98A is very easy to bend and stretch. It has 20% better wear resistance than ABS filament and 68% better wear resistance than PLA.
Printing TPU filament and other flexible materials can be a bit challenging for those new to 3D printing, as they are not as easy to use as other filaments.
With a direct extruder, it is easier to find the right printing parameters. If, on the contrary, you use an extruder type Bowden you will have to use some tricks. In fact, TPU with an extrusion system bowden can jam. It is advisable in such a case to use a filament with a high shore. For example, therefore, it is better to use a 98A shore TPU, rather than an 85A shore TPU.
What are the main aspects of TPU shore 98A 3D printing filament Azurefilm?
TPU shore 98A filament from Azurefilm is characterized by several aspects:
- Made of TPU
