Where it shines

TPU you can actually print fast (95A but stiffer); industry favorite for prosumer flex parts.

Common use cases: flexible, high-speed-tpu, wearables.

Where it falls short

Premium price; smaller spools.

Print profile starting point

  • Nozzle temp: start at 233°C and tune ±5°C for surface finish.
  • Bed temp: 25°C is usually enough for adhesion; go up toward 60°C if first layer struggles.
  • Drying: 55°C for 6 hours before printing if the spool has been opened more than a few days.
  • Print speed: keep below 30 mm/s for clean walls; bowden setups will prefer the slower end.
