TPU

TPU is not yet approved for use on the 3d Printers!

Thermoplastic PolyUrethane (TPU) is a flexible filament and can be used to print objects such as tires, gaskets, or other parts that may require some flexibility. As a flexible filament, TPU requires some special handling for use with the 3D printers.

Challenges with TPU

• TPU is very hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from air) and care should be taken to ensure the filament is kept dry.

Printing With TPU

• Because TPU is flexible and stretches, it CANNOT be used in the AMS.
• At this time, TPU can only be be printed on Po (Bambu #1)
• See Manually Loading Filament for instructions on loading filament into the machine manually.
