SainSmart
White Flexible TPU Filament 1.75mm
This SainSmart TPU filament is a high-strength, flexible material, offering a hybrid quality between plastic and rubber. It is specially formulated for increased flexibility while maintaining a rigid structure, making it resistant to oil, grease, and abrasions. The filament comes in a 0.8kg spool with a precise 1.75mm diameter. It is designed for FDM 3D printing and requires slower print speeds compared to standard filaments like PLA or ABS. For optimal results, direct drive extruders are recommended, and specific printing adjustments like disabling retraction are advised.

What customers say
Customers consistently praise the exceptional quality and durability of the final prints, noting the excellent flexibility and resilience of the white TPU. However, the filament presents a steep learning curve regarding ease of use. Many users report significant difficulty with extrusion and stringing, requiring precise temperature and speed adjustments to prevent jamming. Success depends heavily on printer setup and user patience. When dialed in, the results are superb, offering great value for specialized projects.
