High flexibility
TPU Filament 85A is the most flexible TPU filament, allowing you to manufacture parts capable of elongating while returning to their original shape.
Excellent abrasion resistance
The TPU filament stands out for its high abrasion resistance, making it ideal for applications where parts will be subjected to prolonged friction stress.
Immune to Fats and Chemical Agents
3D printed TPU maintains its structural integrity and flexibility even in direct contact with most oils, lubricants, and solvents.
Resistant to hydrolysis
The TPU used to manufacture our flexible filament is specially formulated to resist hydrolysis once printed, so your parts can withstand extremely humid conditions without degrading.

Product details
Description
eFil TPU 85A belongs to the eFil family of flexible filaments based on TPU plastic. Its Shore hardness is 85A , similar to that found in the heel of a shoe. This filament is recommended for advanced users, as it requires a steeper learning curve than harder materials, but it allows for elongations of up to 520%. Its flexibility makes it ideal for applications requiring elastic materials with excellent recovery. Furthermore, different levels of hardness can be achieved by varying the infill percentage during 3D printing.
The eFil TPU 85A boasts excellent chemical resistance to both acids and bases, as well as a wide variety of solvents. It also offers superior resistance to abrasion, impact, and punctures , and can withstand temperatures up to 100°C. Furthermore, it features strong adhesion , eliminating warping issues during printing, even without a heated bed or other bonding methods. This high adhesion ensures perfect layer bonding , resulting in parts that are significantly more tear-resistant. Its tensile strength reaches 33 MPa, and its impact resistance is 100 N/mm.
Check that your printer is compatible with flexible filaments. Extruders with adjustable traction are recommended. The ideal traction point is where the extruder pulls the filament firmly without pinching it. Bowden extruders are not recommended. It's always advisable to reduce the printing speed until you've mastered the appropriate settings for your printer. You can improve performance by pre-drying the filament for 30 to 60 minutes at 90°C.
It is a very versatile material that will allow you to print rubber parts with countless applications in prototyping, footwear, the sports world, protections or the creation of custom tools.

What do our customers say about us?
Frequently Asked Questions
Find more information on our FAQ page
Is this filament compatible with AMS or similar?
No, due to its flexible nature, we do not recommend using TPU filament with AMS or similar materials. The best way to work with it is through direct extrusion, avoiding having the filament pass through tubes or sharp angles.
Do I need to dry the TPU filament before printing it?
Yes, drying TPU filament before printing is highly recommended. TPU is a very hygroscopic material, meaning it absorbs a lot of moisture from the environment quickly. Drying the filament before each print will result in sharper, string-free prints.
Do you offer special prices for professionals?
Yes, we offer special rates for professionals, businesses, and high-volume users. If you'd like to learn more, you can use the contact form on the right to request further information.
How can I dry TPU filament ?
To dry TPU filament, we recommend using any commercially available filament drying solution. We suggest using a dryer with active air intake and a fan, as this will ensure that the air is refreshed once saturated with moisture. For drying, we recommend a temperature between 50°C and 70°C for a minimum of 4 hours.
Can I pick up my order at your premises?
Yes, select the "office collection" option when paying for your product and we will prepare it for you to pick up as soon as possible.
