eFil is the family of flexible filaments for 3D printing. Within this category, you'll find a wide range of hardnesses that will adapt to any application requiring flexibility and strength.
TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) filament is a flexible, abrasion-resistant material that has become a popular choice for 3D printing objects that require flexibility and strength.
Applications of TPU filament:
Flexible parts:TPU is ideal for printing flexible parts that need to bend or stretch, such as mobile phone cases, gaskets, tires, etc.
Prototyping:TPU can be used to create rapid and cost-effective prototypes of parts and designs that need to be flexible.
Printing everyday objects:It can be used to print a wide range of everyday items such as footwear, clothing, toys, etc.
Industrial applications:TPU is used in various industrial applications, such as the manufacture of hoses, cables, and automotive parts.
Advantages of TPU filament:
Flexibility:TPU is a very flexible material that can bend and stretch without breaking.
Abrasion resistance:TPU is resistant to wear and abrasion, making it ideal for applications requiring contact with rough surfaces.
Water and chemical resistance:TPU is resistant to water, oils and many chemicals.
Good adhesion between layers:TPU has good interlayer adhesion, producing high-quality prints.
Printing recommendations for TPU filament:
Uses a 0.4mm or 0.6mm nozzle.
Prints at a speed of 20-60 mm/s.
Adjust the printing temperature between 190-230 °C.
Uses a 2-4mm retraction setting.
Make sure the filament is dry before printing.
