Material guide
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
TPU is part of the flexible-filament family. It is used where elastic deformation, grip, cushioning, or abrasion-tolerant flexibility is needed.
Guide available
Understand the scope
TPU and TPE products span different hardnesses. Softer filament is usually harder to feed and cannot be treated as equivalent to a 95A product.
Where it is commonly considered
Plan around these constraints
Before printing
A short, well-controlled filament path is helpful, especially for softer grades
Print slowly using the exact product profile
Use a suitable sheet or separator to prevent over-adhesion
Documented examples
These are source-scoped starting points, not universal settings.
Manufacturer material guidance explicitly marked relevant for the MK4 family, shown for the original MK4 stock 0.4 mm nozzle. It is not a universal TPU profile.
