TPU 40D filament MonoFilament 1.75 mm 0.75 kg Natural
TPU 40D MonoFilament is an elastic thermoplastic polyurethane designed for FDM 3D printing of parts that require flexibility, elasticity, and resistance to mechanical loads. The material has a Shore hardness of 40D, elongation at break of up to 400%, and is resistant to abrasion, impacts at low temperatures, ultraviolet radiation, oils, and lubricants. It is suitable for manufacturing flexible technical components and replacing rubber elements.
Advantages and Key Features
- High elasticity: parts withstand repeated bending and deformation.
- Wear resistance: the material effectively resists abrasion during operation.
- Impact strength: maintains resistance to mechanical impacts even at low temperatures.
- Chemical resistance: withstands contact with fats, oils, lubricants, and many solvents.
- UV resistance: suitable for manufacturing parts exposed to solar radiation.
- High elongation at break: a value of up to 400% provides significant stretching capability.
- Shore hardness of 40D: the material combines flexibility with sufficient elasticity for functional parts.
Applications
- Technical and industrial components: gaskets, bushings, flexible connecting elements, and mechanical parts.
- Automotive industry: manufacturing and replacing rubber components in vehicles, elastic fasteners, and protective elements.
- Mechanisms and equipment: flexible hinges, shock-absorbing elements, and parts that are regularly subjected to bending.
- Electronics and instruments: components for watches, pulse counters, and other technical devices.
- Accessory manufacturing: printing bracelets, elastic bands, tires, and rubber figurines.
- Functional prototyping: creating flexible prototypes and parts for testing the performance of structures.
Compatibility with 3D Printers and Materials
TPU 40D MonoFilament is designed for FDM 3D printers that support 1.75 mm diameter filament. The material can be used with both open-frame and enclosed printers. For stable feeding of flexible filament, it is preferable to use a direct-drive extruder with minimal gaps in the feeding mechanism. This reduces the risk of the filament bending or getting stuck.
Recommended printing settings:
- Extruder temperature: 225–245 °C
- Build plate temperature: 20–60 °C
- Printing speed: 20–30 mm/s
- Part cooling: required
- Printer type: open-frame or enclosed
To achieve consistent results, it is recommended to store the spool in a vacuum container to protect the filament from absorbing moisture. Using an enclosed chamber promotes slower cooling of the model and helps reduce the risk of deformation during printing.
