Torwell TPU filament is featured by its high strength and flexibility, like a hybrid of plastic and rubber.
95A TPU has high abrasion resistance and low compression compared to rubber parts, especially at higher infill.
In comparison with most common filaments like PLA and ABS, TPU must be run much slower.

Model Show
Torwell TPU Flexible filament should be printed at lower speed than normal. And printing nozzle type Direct Drive (motor attached to the nozzle) due to its soft lines. Torwell TPU Flexible filament applications include seals, plugs, gaskets, sheets, shoes, key ring case for mobile hands-bike parts shock and wear rubber seal (Wearable Device/Protective applications).
Package
1kg roll 3D filament TPU with desiccant in vacuum package.
Each spool in individual box (Torwell box, Neutral box, or Customized box available).
8boxes per carton (carton size 44x44x19cm).
Make sure your TPU filament is stored in a dry place
Please note that TPU is hygroscopic, which means it tends to absorb water. Therefore, store it airtight and protected from moisture in a closed container or bag with a dehumidifier. If your TPU filament ever gets wet, you can always dry it for about 1 hour at 70° C in your baking oven. After that, the filament is dry and can be processed like new.

High Durability
Torwell TPU flexible filament is a material that is soft and elastic like rubber, similar to the Flexible TPE but typing easier and harder than TPE. It allows for repeated movement or impact without cracking.
High Flexibility
Flexible materials have a property called Shore hardness, which determines the flexibility or hardness of a material. Torwell TPU has a Shore-A hardness of 95 and can stretch 3 times more than its original length.

Recommended for printers with direct drive extruder, 0.4~0.8mm Nozzles.
With Bowden extruder you might pay more attention to these tips:
- Print slow 20-40 mm/s Printing speed
- First layer settings. (Height 100% Width 150% speed 50% e.g.)
- Retraction disabled. This would reduce messy, stringing or oozing printing result.
- Increase Multiplier (Optional). set to 1.1 would help the filament bond well. – Cooling fan on after first layer.
If you are having problems printing with soft filaments, firstly, and most importantly, slow the print down, run at 20mm/s will work perfectly.
It is important when loading the filament to allow it to only just start extruding. Once you see the filament coming out the nozzle hit stop. The load feature pushes filament through quicker than a normal print and this can cause it to get caught in the extruder gear.
Also feed the filament direct to the extruder, not through the feeder tube. This reduces the drag on the filament which can cause the gear to slip on the filament.
