    130 in stock Shipped immediately

    NinjaTek Cheetah Flexible filament is the fastest and easiest to print flexible filament on the market. The focus in the development of this material was on optimizing the user experience. The result is a filament that is printable across all types of desktop 3D printers at ABS and PLA speeds, many times twice the speed of other flexible materials on the market. Cheetah filament possesses industry-leading durability along with impact strength 84% greater than the next product (ABS). Its abrasion resistance is also second only to NinjaTek's Armadillo product, making Cheetah the perfect blend of speed, toughness, and strength. Suggested Applications: grips, guides, hinges, sleeves & snap-fit parts. Shore Hardness = 95A Prints speeds greater than 60 mm/s with standard ABS settings Significantly greater impact strength than all widely used materials - 84% greater than ABS! Industry-leading toughness and durability ensure longevity in printed parts Abrasion resistance 40% better than ABS and 76% better than PLA 580% elongation capabilities improve ability to withstand wear and tear Patented low friction exterior allows for fluid feeding Chemical resistance to many materials, including: naphtha, ASTM Oils #1-3, petroleum and freon Consistent diameter and material properties providing reliable, high-quality prints REACH and RoHS 2002/95/EC Directive compliant Extruder Temperature: 235°C 245°C Platform Temperature: Room temperature 40°C Glue or blue painter's tape is suggested if not using a heated bed.

  • Prusament TPU 95A Prusament TPU 95A (NFC)

    Prusa Prusament TPU 95A (NFC)

    4 reviews

    130 in stock Shipped immediately

    Overview Prusament TPU 95A is a thermoplastic polyurethane filament designed to offer a balanced combination of flexibility, strength, and reliability. With a Shore hardness of 95A, it provides sufficient elasticity for flexible components while maintaining the structural integrity required for functional parts. Each spool is produced under carefully controlled manufacturing conditions and features a guaranteed tight diameter tolerance. This precision helps ensure stable extrusion, consistent layer adhesion, and fewer common issues associated with flexible materials, such as uneven flow or clogging. Built to Last The ether-based TPU formulation offers excellent wear resistance and long-term durability. It retains its flexibility even in low-temperature environments and performs reliably in conditions where many standard materials would become brittle. Prusament TPU 95A also provides strong resistance to oils, greases, and many common chemicals. Its low moisture absorption and hydrolysis resistance contribute to maintaining stable mechanical properties over time, even in demanding applications. Printing and Handling While flexible filaments generally require more careful tuning than rigid materials, TPU 95A is engineered to be relatively easy to print with the right setup. It flows smoothly at recommended temperatures and offers solid bridging performance compared to many other TPU filaments. Each spool comes with an NFC tag containing essential material data. On compatible systems, this allows for automatic material recognition and streamlined setup, optimizing your printing process. Typical Applications Thanks to its combination of elasticity and toughness, Prusament TPU 95A is ideal for functional parts that need to bend, absorb impacts, or withstand repeated mechanical stress. Common applications include protective covers, flexible grips, vibration damping elements, gaskets, snap-fit parts, and other components that benefit from controlled flexibility. Prusament TPU 95A is a high-quality flexible filament developed for functional 3D printing where elasticity and durability are essential. Manufactured in-house by Prusa Research under strict quality controls, it offers consistent diameter and reliable performance across a wide range of applications. The material combines flexibility with excellent mechanical resistance, making it suitable for both everyday use and more demanding environments. Key Features Premium flexible filament with high wear resistance Tight diameter tolerance for smooth, reliable extrusion Elastic and shock-resistant, even at low temperatures Strong chemical and hydrolysis resistance Good bridging and overhang performance for a TPU NFC tag with integrated material data on each spool Features Manufacturer: Prusa Model: 3585 EAN: 8594173676411 Weight: 961 g Buy Prusament TPU 95A (NFC) on STRATO3D with fast shipping to Italy.

TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) and Flex filaments are flexible and elastic polymers that allow printing objects that bend, compress, and return to their original shape. They are essential for covers, gaskets, protective cases, knobs, shock absorbers, and parts subject to elastic deformation. On Strato3D, you will find over 25 TPU filaments with Shore A hardness ranging from 70 (very soft) to 95 (semi-rigid) and Shore D 60-70 (rigid-flexible).

When to use TPU/Flex

  • Covers for smartphones, tablets, electronic devices: impact protection.
  • Gaskets and o-rings: fluid sealing, vibration dampening.
  • Custom soles, midsoles, insoles: orthopedic or sports footwear.
  • Knobs, grips, bumpers: comfortable grip on tools.
  • Tires and wheels for RC/toys: grip and cushioning.
  • Automotive parts: rubber grommets, flexible ducts, parts subject to vibrations.

Technical characteristics

  • Nozzle temperature: 220-240 °C.
  • Bed temperature: 40-60 °C.
  • Shore A hardness: 70 (soft rubber) to 95 (hard rubber). Shore D 60-70 (semi-rigid).
  • Elongation at break: 300-700%.
  • Thermal resistance: -30 °C to +80 °C continuous.
  • Print speed: 20-40 mm/s recommended (250 mm/s for TPU HS).
  • Direct extruder: strongly recommended (Bowden systems struggle with soft materials).

Brands you find on Strato3D

TPU by Bambu Lab (TPU 95A), Polymaker PolyFlex TPU 95A, Snapmaker High Flow TPU 95A Black, Siraya Tech TPU 95A, BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse TPU 64D and TPU 85A.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I print TPU with any printer? Yes, but a direct drive extruder is strongly recommended. With Bowden, soft materials below Shore A 90 "swell" in the tube and cause clogging.

Shore A 95 or Shore A 85? 95A is semi-rigid, with a behavior similar to hard rubber. 85A is clearly flexible like a gasket. For smartphone covers, typically 95A; for o-rings, 75-85A.

Can I print it at 250 mm/s? Only with high-speed formulated TPUs (e.g., Snapmaker High Flow). Standard ones above 60 mm/s create under-extrusion.

Is it oil resistant? Yes, TPU has good resistance to mineral oils and hydrocarbons. For synthetic oils, check the technical data sheet.
