Yellow TPU filament for flexible, durable 3D printed parts

Unveil Form ShoeFlex 9075A is a yellow 1.75mm TPU filament supplied on a 0.75kg spool. The flexible material is suited to prints that need bend, resilience, abrasion resistance, and better impact handling than rigid plastics.

The 90A/75D hardness profile makes this TPU useful for parts that must flex in use without becoming overly soft. ShoeFlex is a practical choice for functional prints where grip, cushioning, or repeated deformation matters.

Key features of ShoeFlex 9075A TPU filament

  • Flexible TPU material: Produces elastic parts that can bend and recover under regular use.
  • 1.75mm filament format: Fits a wide range of desktop FDM/FFF 3D printers built for 1.75mm filament.
  • 90A/75D hardness: Balances flexibility with structure for parts that need both compliance and shape retention.
  • Yellow colour: Creates highly visible parts, prototypes, markers, and components where colour distinction is useful.
  • 0.75kg spool: Suitable for prototyping, short production runs, replacement parts, and application testing.

Where flexible 90A TPU works well

This TPU filament is well suited to footwear-related prototyping, soft-touch accessories, anti-slip contact surfaces, gaskets, sleeves, and protective components. The material class is commonly used when a printed part needs to absorb minor impacts, resist wear, or conform slightly to surrounding geometry.

For makers and product developers, ShoeFlex 9075A is a strong fit for jigs with non-marring contact points, cable guides, bumpers, vibration-damping elements, and custom enclosures that benefit from a softer interface. The yellow colour also helps with part identification, visibility, and sorting in workshop or educational environments.

Practical printing behaviour for TPU projects

TPU generally performs best with a controlled filament path, moderate temperatures, and slower print speeds than PLA or PETG. Dry handling and good first-layer setup help produce cleaner surfaces, steadier extrusion, and more consistent flexible parts.

Will it work with my printer?

Works with

Unveil Form ShoeFlex 9075A TPU filament works with FDM/FFF 3D printers that accept 1.75mm filament.

Requirements

A direct-drive extruder is typically preferred for flexible TPU filament because it helps control feeding and reduces buckling. Bowden systems can print TPU, but slower speeds and careful tuning are usually needed.

Printer Setup

Use a printer with a hot end capable of TPU printing temperatures in the 220-250°C range. A heated bed is helpful for reliable first-layer adhesion, although TPU generally does not require an enclosure.

FAQ

Frequently asked

What is ShoeFlex 9075A TPU used for?

ShoeFlex 9075A TPU is a flexible 3D printing filament used for parts that need elasticity, impact resistance, and repeated bending. Typical applications include footwear components, protective covers, grips, seals, and wear-resistant functional parts.

Is Unveil Form ShoeFlex 9075A soft or rigid?

ShoeFlex 9075A is a flexible TPU rather than a rigid plastic. Its 90A/75D hardness places it in a range suited to durable parts that can bend and recover while still holding shape.

Can I print TPU filament on a Bowden printer?

TPU can be printed on some Bowden-style printers, but flexible filament usually prints more reliably on a direct-drive extruder. If a Bowden setup is used, slower print speeds and careful retraction tuning are usually necessary.

What temperature should I use for 90A TPU filament?

A typical starting range for this TPU class is 220-250°C at the nozzle and 40-60°C on the bed. The exact setting depends on the printer, hot end, cooling, and part geometry.

Does TPU need a heated bed?

A heated bed is not always mandatory, but it usually improves first-layer consistency and adhesion. For TPU, a 40-60°C bed is a common working range.

Does flexible TPU filament absorb moisture?

Yes, TPU is moisture-sensitive and prints more consistently when kept dry. If the filament has absorbed moisture, drying before use can help reduce stringing, bubbling, and surface defects.

What is the best print speed for flexible TPU filament?

Flexible TPU generally prints best at moderate to slow speeds. A practical starting point is around 20-40mm/s, especially on printers that are not specifically tuned for soft materials.

Is 1.75mm TPU filament compatible with my 3D printer?

1.75mm TPU filament is compatible with FDM/FFF printers designed for 1.75mm material. The printer also needs a hot end that can reach TPU printing temperatures and a filament path that can handle flexible materials reliably.
