ELEGOO Rapid TPU 95A 1KG Black – Fast and Durable Flexible Filament
ELEGOO Rapid TPU 95A is a next-generation flexible filament developed for
high-speed 3D printing without compromising quality. Thanks to its modified TPU formulation with a
Shore 95A hardness, it allows for printing up to
3× faster than standard TPU 95A, while maintaining excellent flexibility, strength, and wear resistance.
Black variant is ideal for
functional technical parts, sports and outdoor elements, protective covers, and mechanically stressed components where you need a combination of flexibility and high durability.
Main Advantages
- High-Speed TPU – specially developed for fast and smooth printing, up to 3× faster than conventional TPU 95A.
- Excellent Flexibility and Elasticity – can be repeatedly bent and stretched without cracking or losing shape.
- Highly Durable Material – great impact, abrasion, and wear resistance, suitable for daily use.
- Shore Hardness 95A – universal flexibility: soft enough to bend, stiff enough to hold shape.
- Reliable Operation Without Clogging – optimized flow ensures stable extrusion even at higher speeds.
- Compatible with Most FDM Printers – suitable for common 3D printers using 1.75 mm filament.
Recommended Use
ELEGOO Rapid TPU 95A Black is a great choice for:
- Protective Covers and Cases – phone cases, headphone covers, sensor covers.
- Wearable Accessories – straps, sports and fitness accessories.
- Shock and Vibration Damping – silent blocks, mounts, bumpers, stops.
- Footwear and Sports Equipment – soles, midsoles, flexible connection elements.
- Technical and Functional Parts – flexible joints, hinges, spacers, “snap-fit” joints.
Thanks to its high resistance to wear and impacts, it is also suitable for
outdoor and stressed applications.
Printing Recommendations
For best results, the manufacturer recommends the following settings:
- Filament Diameter: 1.75 mm
- Nozzle Temperature: 200–230 °C
- Bed Temperature: 30–45 °C (depending on printer type and surface)
- Chamber Temperature: 20–45 °C
- Recommended Printing Speed: up to 200 mm/s
- Drying Before Printing: 70 ± 5 °C
- Storage and Printing: relative humidity ≤ 20 % (sealed with silica gel)
- Bed Surface: PEI (textured/smooth) or other common printing surfaces with good adhesion
TPU is a hygroscopic material – to maintain stable print quality, keep the filament dry (sealed box, filament dryer, silica gel bags).
Material Properties (according to manufacturer)
Physical Properties:
- Density: 1.27 g/cm³
- Melting Temperature: 190 °C
Mechanical Properties:
- Hardness: Shore 95A
- Tensile Strength (XY): 13 ± 2 MPa
- Elongation at Break (XY): > 500 %
These parameters confirm that this is a
very tough and flexible filament, suitable for functional components subjected to regular bending, deformation, and impacts.
Compatibility and Usability
- Compatible with most FDM 3D printers supporting 1.75 mm filament.
- Particularly suitable for printers with a direct drive extruder; for bowden extruders, it is recommended to reduce speed and adjust retractions.
- Ideal for users looking for a flexible filament for fast printing without significant surface quality degradation.
Summary
ELEGOO Rapid TPU 95A 1KG Black is the ideal choice for anyone who needs a
fast, reliable, and durable TPU filament. It combines:
- high printing speed,
- excellent flexibility and return to original shape,
- mechanical resistance to impact and abrasion,
