Description of SainSmart 3D Printing Supplies: Advanced Dimensional Additive Manufacturing Filament Solutions

Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm; Shore Hardness: 95A; Dimensional Accuracy +/- 0.05 mm; 0.8 kg (approximately 1.76 lbs) per spool; Vacuumed sealed with desiccant; Recommended extruder temperature: 200 - 220°C; Recommended platform temperature: 40 - 60°C. TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a subclass of thermoplastics which prints strong parts that are also flexible. Compatible with all FDM printers on the market which accept 1.75 mm filament; Including Prusa i3, Monoprice MakerSelect, SainSmart xCreality, and other RepRap printers. With proper settings, TPU is easy to print thanks to excellent bed adhesion and the filament’s tendency to not warp.

Low-Quality Filament for Industrial Printing

Don't waste your money on this filament if you're looking for reliable and high-quality prints. The product is advertised as being suitable for industrial and scientific use, but it falls short of expectations. The filaments are inconsistent in thickness and prone to clogging.

Pros
  • The price is affordable compared to other 3D printing filaments.
Cons
  • The filaments are inconsistent in thickness and prone to clogging, making it unsuitable for industrial and scientific use.

Curly, stuck in extruder; otherwise great

Another update, I'm back to buy another spool. It's tougher than Ninjaflex, 95A seems right. I don't have a good method of measuring, but the prints are just as hard as other 95A materials. It's glossy and definitely works better with a straight feed due to the relatively curved nature of the material. It works well for things that need to be semi-rigid. I use it to make things like mug handles (need to be pliable but rigid) and parking blocks (again pliable but rigid). For small items like…

Pros
  • Great for a variety of projects such as shoe inserts, watch bands, phone cases, drone parts and more
Cons
  • Great price

Update 2: Sainsmart sent the thread to the wrong address even after I sent the correct address. I finally got it two months later. Update 3: I have the option to use a TPU and unfortunately it still had the same…
