Frequently asked questions
What are the recommended print settings for SUNLU TPU 95A?
Extrusion temperature: 195–230°C. Heated bed: 50–60°C. Fan on at low speed. Speed: 20–40 mm/s. Print slowly to avoid clogging.
Is a direct extruder recommended for SUNLU TPU?
Yes. A direct extruder is recommended. Printers with a long Bowden tube may have difficulty feeding TPU consistently. Disable or reduce retraction to prevent clogs.
What does Shore 95A hardness mean and what type of parts is it suitable for?
Shore 95A indicates moderate flexibility with good structural strength — firmer than soft rubbers but still flexible. Ideal for protectors, shock absorbers, gaskets, footwear, and flexible functional parts.
How should I store SUNLU TPU filament?
Store in a dry place — TPU is hygroscopic and can absorb moisture, affecting print quality. For better bed adhesion, use PEI or glass surfaces with 3DLAC.
