3D Universe Terrafilum TPU (2.85mm)
Easy to print, high-quality TPU
Note: 3kg and recycled spools have a shipping lead-time of 7-10 business days.
Overview
3D Universe Terrafilum TPU Filament (2.85mm)
3D Universe Terrafilum TPU is an industrial grade bendable material that creates smooth and flexible parts; 3D Universe Terrafilum TPU includes a special additive that allows it to extrude more smoothly, with less stringing and better adhesion than most TPU materials. If you've had trouble printing TPU before, give 3D Universe Terrafilum TPU a try! Ideal for gaskets, couplings, and connectors.
Recommended print settings:
- Print temperature: 230-240C
- Bed Temperature: No heat
- Fan Speed: 50%
- Flow rate: 106%
- Print speed: 25mm/sec (30mm/sec for infill)
- Retraction: Enabled
- Retract at layer change: Disabled
- Retraction distance: 15mm
- Retraction speed: 25mm/sec
- Retraction extra prime amount: 0.4mm3
- Use a thin layer of glue stick or Magigoo on the bed (especially important when printing on a PEI surface to prevent over-adhesion)
Note that the 3kg spools will require the use of an external spool holder. We recommend making a "lazy-susan" style spool holder so the spool can lay horizontally and unwind smoothly. Consider printing this model using the 51mm adapter that's included.
What Makes 3D Universe Terrafilum Materials Unique?
Like you, we also love our planet. That’s why we have painstakingly considered the environmental impact our products could have on our environment. We determined that using recycled plastic for 3D printing is a fantastic solution. We are happy to provide our clients with a recycling program that ensures the maximum amount of material that might otherwise be discarded as waste, is returned to us where it is recycled and repurposed into more of our wonderful product.
All 3D Universe Terrafilum materials include the following features:
- High Compatibility – Compatible with most FDM Printers, consistent diameter, dimensional accuracy +/- 0.03mm
- Long Prints – Consistent coil, even melt for better layer adhesion, smooth nozzle, and extruder performance
- Superior Construction – Materials are USA produced using sustainable formulations
- Excellent Performance – Each batch is test printed to ensure quality controls and color consistency
Diameters: 1.75mm and 2.85mm
Colors: Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Black, White, Natural, Purple, and Orange
