Description
eSUN eFlex TPU-87A
High-quality flexible plastic filament for smooth and durable prints.
Elevate your 3D printing with eSUN eFlex TPU-87A, a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) filament designed for exceptional flexibility. With a Shore 87A hardness, it's softer than typical TPU-95A while maintaining strength and being easier to print than other TPE materials.
Product highlights:
-
High Elasticity: Can stretch up to 500% (Elongation at Break) without easily breaking and recovers excellently.
-
Soft and durable: With a hardness rating of 87A, it offers a soft, grippy, rubber-like feel and excellent abrasion and impact resistance.
-
Unique translucency: The lines have a semi-transparent (Natural Clear) appearance, resulting in beautiful and premium-looking printed pieces.
-
Chemical resistance: More resistant to moisture, oil, and various solvents than ordinary plastics.
-
Environmentally friendly: Made from safe and versatile materials.
What types of work is it suitable for?

Further instructions:
-
-
Printer: For best results, we recommend using a printer with a Direct Drive filament drive system.
-
Storage: Because TPU is easily hygroscopic, it is recommended to dry the filament at 55°C for approximately 4 hours before printing to reduce air bubbles and stringing.
-
Speed: Print at a speed lower than normal to ensure consistent line flow.
