- First layer: Reduced speed (10-15mm/s)
Important notes
- Shore 95A = semi-flexible (stiffer than TPU 85A)
- Easier to print than softer TPU
- Compatible with more printers thanks to higher hardness
- Store in a dry place
Elegoo TPU 95A offers the perfect balance between flexibility and printability, ideal for functional parts that require elasticity and resistance without compromising ease of printing.
