Overture Matte TPU 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm

Is TPU humidity sensitive? Any drying recommendations?

Yes, TPU is sensitive to humidity. It is recommended to dry TPU-based filaments at 70°C (158°F) for 7 hours to ensure optimal print quality. Avoid extended drying times, as this can lead to the filament becoming brittle and unsuitable for printing. For storage, keep it in a sealed container with desiccants to maintain low humidity levels.

What does 95A mean?

The "95A" refers to the shore hardness of the TPU material. Shore A is a scale used to measure the hardness of flexible materials, and 95A indicates that the material has a certain degree of deformability. You can manipulate the softness by adjusting the structural design and infill settings.

Can TPU be used with AMS?

It is not recommended to use TPU with AMS. TPU is too soft and flexible, which can cause feeding issues, jams, or inconsistent extrusion inside the system.

Why does Glow TPU look translucent?

Glow TPU may look transparent—this is normal and not a defect. Glow TPU does not use traditional color pigments. Instead, it contains phosphorescent particles that store light energy. These particles are usually white or light beige, which naturally makes the filament look transparent. Think of it as a light “recharge” material: it absorbs light (sunlight or UV), stores the energy, and releases it in the dark as a glow effect.

What are general TPU printing tips?

TPU is a flexible material that requires careful settings and dry filament for stable printing. 1. Keep filament dry, especially if stringing or inconsistent extrusion occurs; 2. Use retraction OFF or set to minimal to prevent clogging and feeding issues; 3. Recommended print speed: 20–40 mm/s; 4. Keep cooling fans on for better surface quality; 5. Not compatible with AMS or other multi-material systems.
