Review on DURAMIC 3D TPU Filament 1 by Dmitriy Kingsley

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good Reliable Soft TPU Filament

I really liked the settings given on the spool. 220°C at the hot end and 65°C on the build plate. I printed directly onto spring steel as TPU adheres too well to some bed surfaces. This material flexes easily and prints durable objects. It appears to respond well to partial cooling to bridge and mitigate strain without loss of adhesion. Unlike almost any other filament, it is recommended to remove the TPU beforehand while layer and filament are still warm, layer temperature is 50-55°C. It should peel off easily. Whatever you are printing on, it is a good idea to use a release agent, e.g. a glue stick to avoid damaging the surface of the assembly when removing the part. This TPU filament is soft, making it ideal for printing sharp objects that are usually broken. When it prints it's really glossy black, so my fridge batarang looked great. The sharp parts are easy to bend, not pierce. Duramic continues to offer superior reliability and value in 3D printing with TPU, PLA and PETG filaments.

Pros
  • 3D Printing Filament
Cons
  • I have doubts
