Buying filament for your 3D printer means that you should match the specific temperatures of your printer’s nozzle. This comes down to compatibility and whether specific filaments are intended to be used with your specific model. 3D Unique offers a wide selection of filaments, giving you the means to achieve specific textures, densities, and resistances with your 3D models.
TPU filament, specifically Creality HP-TPU filament, is perfect for producing durable 3D models that offer resistances to various elements. In this article, we focus on the specific uses and benefits of HP-TPU filament and what you can expect when using this material.
TPU Filament: Compatibility and Composition
TPU filament is compatible with extruder nozzles that can reach heat temperatures of between 220 °C and 250 °C. HP-TPU filament does not require a heated print bed for optimal prints. However, if your printer is fitted with a heated print bed, the ideal temperature of the bed should not go over 60 °C.
HP-TPU filament is thermoplastic polyurethane. This allows your printed 3D models to have optimal abrasive resistance, as well as force resistance. As a result, TPU filament 3D models are perfect for outdoor applications, as they can withstand ambient temperatures of up to 80 °C. TPU filament is also a perfect solution for 3D models that have optimal impact and chemical resistance.
TPU Filament: Advantages
HP-TPU filament has a variety of advantages when using this specific material for your 3D prints. These advantages include faster print speeds when comparing it to standard TPU filament. You can also expect more flexibility and reduced clogging during your prints. Our selection of HP-TPU filaments is available in black, white, and transparent colours. This ensures a solid base colour for you to paint over or apply as is.
TPU Filament: Applications
HP-TPU filament is ideal for mechanical and automative parts, as it offers optimal abrasive resistance, as well as optimal force resistance. If you want a unique part that fits a mechanical machine, or need a specific container for chemical fluids, this filament can be your answer. Our selection of HP-TPU filaments goes perfectly with our selection of Creality 3D printers. Now, you can combine the 2 to deliver optimal results for your next 3D printing project.
