Ultra-Soft Flexibility with High-Grip Performance
The Snow White NinjaTek Chinchilla TPE 75A filament is engineered for applications that require extreme softness, flexibility, and surface grip. Developed by NinjaTek, Chinchilla stands out with its uniquely grippy texture and ultra-low Shore hardness, making it ideal for ergonomic and contact-focused designs.
With a Shore hardness of 75A, this filament delivers a soft, rubber-like feel that is significantly more flexible than standard TPU and even softer than many TPE alternatives.
Key Features & Benefits
-
Ultra-Soft 75A Shore Hardness
Provides exceptional flexibility and compressibility for soft-touch applications. -
High-Friction Surface Texture
Engineered for superior grip, ideal for handles, wearables, and contact surfaces. -
Bright Snow White Finish
Produces clean, consistent prints suitable for both aesthetic and functional uses. -
Excellent Layer Adhesion
Maintains durability even under repeated bending, stretching, and compression. -
Impact & Abrasion Resistance
Designed to withstand continuous use in demanding environments. -
Unique Tactile Feel
Offers a rubber-like surface that enhances usability and ergonomics.
Typical Applications
Chinchilla TPE 75A is designed for highly specialized flexible applications:
- Wearables and soft-contact products
- Tool grips and ergonomic handles
- Gaskets, seals, and cushioning components
- Vibration dampeners and shock absorbers
- Robotics and soft mechanical interfaces
- Footwear components and padding elements
Material & Compatibility
This 1.75mm filament is compatible with FDM/FFF 3D printers capable of printing very soft flexible materials.
Recommended Setup:
- Direct drive extruders (strongly recommended)
- Bowden extruders (possible but challenging)
Printing Considerations:
- Slow print speeds required for consistent extrusion
- Careful retraction tuning to minimize stringing
- Heated bed recommended for improved adhesion
- Compatible with PEI, glass, and textured build plates
Due to its ultra-soft nature, Chinchilla requires more precise tuning than TPU or firmer TPE filaments, but rewards users with unmatched flexibility and grip.
Why Users Choose Chinchilla TPE
Chinchilla is a specialized filament designed for projects where traditional flexible materials fall short. Its combination of softness and surface friction opens up new possibilities for functional and ergonomic design.
Users choose it for:
- Maximum softness and flexibility
- Enhanced grip and tactile performance
- Unique material properties for advanced applications
- Reliable results when properly tuned
