SainSmart TPU Filament 1.75 Dark Green Flexible TPU 3D Printing Filament 1.75 mm 250g Translucent Color Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05 mm

Great product, this TPU has excellent performance in a Bambu Labs P2S. My first print was flawless. Quite literally. It's a great material and if you're doing a small test print to test it out for the first time, 250g is a perfect amount. We have enough left over to print a small case! Can't wait!Seller... I'm actually writing this review to tell you, I saw my payment for this product bounced, but don't worry! I'm fixing that right now, you WILL be paid! Sorry about it!

Sainsmart TPU has a great feel to it. The filament is tough, flexible, and feels like tire rubber (I'm not sure what durometer this is, but it is a tough, flexible, stretchy plastic). It prints nicely, but you really almost have to dry it to within an inch of its life, and print it straight out of the dryer, or it'll lose adhesion and string like you've never seen filament string before. I had good luck with using the SUNLU filament dryer box S2. It lets you keep the filament dry and print it straight out of the dryer.The test prints were run at a hotend of 228, and PEI bed temperature of 55 (all temps in C, because 3D printing is a communist activity, and printers almost always use centigrade). I had some bed adhesion issues, but those were partly due to the rounded feet on my test model. Supports were somewhat problematic to remove; the plastic was so stretchy that the supports stretched then snapped back while pulling on them. They were eventually removed, and the model looks pretty good (I haven't done any real cleanup on it). I did notice that I had a layer adhesion issue in one of the legs, but that was about where the filament dryer timer had turned off, and I was starting to get stringing.This is great filament, despite being as hygroscopic as a sponge. It prints well, feels nice, and passes the bite test (I am planning to make some toys, and I wanted to make sure I couldn't bite off any pieces - spoiler alert: I couldn't bite off any pieces, despite putting some real force into the attempts). I recommend it enough that I'm buying more of it (and in different colors). This was my first foray into TPU, and it was a great experience overall.

Works great and is easy to print. No issues and really like the semitransparent lime green color to get peoples attention. I use this to cover the end of metal poles or other sharp objects that you wouldn't want to hit your head on. Most of the time the uses are for outdoor use and it seems to hold up well, but some discoloring happens over time.

I ordered this with the intention of making some custom, functional things. I don't have a lot of pictures of how they all turned out, but I can tell you that for the most part it worked well. There was some stringing that I had to clean up after it was printed, but otherwise it worked out well.Attached are a couple pictures of a custom spout cap I made my wife for the laundry detergent dispenser, as it kept dripping down the front of the washer after she'd use it. I broke out my calipers and measured it up to model a flexible cap to go over it, and this is what I ended up with. It has been holding up after several months just fine, and my wife is happy to not have soap dripping down the front of the washing machine!Overall, it's a great product, and I'd recommend it.

Let me start off by saying this is my first TPU and I'm fairly new to 3D printing in general. The spool was packaged well and the color is just as I expected. It's flexible but not too elastic. Once printed it can be squishy or very firm depending on your infill settings.The Bulbasaur shown in the photos was my first print and it came out, in my opinion, quite nice. There was very little stringing and only a few little blobs on the top of the print near sharp edges but I'm sure that can be cleared up by further tuning of the print settings.After watching several tutorials on printing TPU and using some of the suggestions posted here, I was able to get this print on my first try.I thought it might also be helpful to others who are new to TPU, or just this filament, if I share my settings below.This was printed on my (2019?) Creality Ender 3 Pro. I do have some modifications (main board upgrade, Marlin 2.0 firmware and modded fan duct) but I don't think those contributed much to the print quality. Everything else on my Ender is stock.Here are the print settings I changed in Cura 4.6.1:Layer Height: 0.175mmInitial Layer Line Width: 150%Infill Density: 5% (you can choose yours based on your needs)Infill Pattern: Gyroid (choose based on your preference)Printing Temperature: 230 °CBuild Plate Temperature: 65 °CFlow: 110%Speed: 15mm/sEnable Retraction: DISABLED (uncheck)Combing Mode: Within InfillCooling: 50%Build Plate Adhesion: SkirtDefinitely make sure your Z offset is adjusted properly to get an ideal amount of squish when the first layers go down so you get good adhesion. I did have to tune and adjust this during the first layer. This is where a skirt or brim is comes in handy.Overall, I'm happy with the product and will be buying more in the future.

I got a Vibra alarm wristwatch and didn't like the 1 piece holder that doubled as the wristband. It was too small and prone to excess wear and tear. So, I designed a holder to hold the Vibra watch and accept a commercially available watch wristband. I 3D printed the holder from some old TPU that I had, but the aged TPU had gotten a little stiff, and didn't match the wristband well.So I searched for navy blue TPU and found this. I will say that in my opinion, this isn't a true navy blue. My prints look more like a darker medium blue. It's still a good color, mind, but not true navy blue. The wristband I got is navy blue and this filament is a lighter shade, but I'm digressing here.Printing a new holder out of this was a snap and the holder turned out awesome. Aside from being a few shades lighter than the wristband, this filament gave the holder enough flexibility to accept the wristband I installed on it, and hold the Vibra watch very firmly, yet I can still easily pop the Vibra watch out to recharge it as needed.With that project out of the way, I've began printing statues and figurines to practice airbrushing on, and have printed a few turtle figurines from this filament so far. Again, the prints look great.I haven't had tangles or snags on the spool, nor have I had any flow issues. I've printed with this filament through a 0.4, 0.8, and 1.0 mm nozzle and this filament has flowed just fine.I've used this brand of filament in the past with great results, so I didn't have concerns about ordering this. As it's been yet another good spool of filament, I'll keep buying this as I need it!

Very nice, consistent printing results. Some globs, but easy to remove.

I was actually searching for PLA filament and ordered this instead. When I received it, the first thing I noticed that it didn’t feel like PLA, so I checked the label and saw it was TPU. I had never used this type of filament so I went online to research it. The videos I found concerned me when they mentioned it’s a hard filament to work with because it’s so rubbery and most times can get caught in the extruder. So I decided to try a print. This filament works amazing, I love the flexibility and sponginess it adds to my prints. Now I have to come up with new ideas that will be perfect for this type of filament. The colors are vibrant, makes them look like they were made out of gel. I already have four more colors in my shopping cart. Great product. This is why I call it the Beautiful Accident.

Excellent ! ce filament est très facile a imprimer

Super facil de imprimir con las configuraciones adecuadas.

No habia probado nunca este tipo de material y la verdad que no es facil de usar y le tienes que echar una cuantas horas de prueba antes de ponerte a imprimir las piezas finales. Al ser TPU puedes hacer muchas piezas que necesites flexibles. EL colo rojo es muy bonito y brillante. Recomiendo hacer torre de temperatura para saber la temperatura optima.

El filamento es de excelente calidad, imprime muy bien incluso en una maquina con extrusor bowden. Es translucido y muy colorido, super bueno para impresiones con iluminacion. Usé cama de vidrio cubierta con cinta adhesiva azul, temperatura de 230 para la boquilla y sin activar el calentador de la cama. Recomendado!

Muy bonito filamento, pero creo que necesita secarse ya que si tiene un poco de stringing, sain smart es una marca que la verdad no decepciona
