OVERTURE TPU 95A Flexible 3D Printer Filament 1.75mm, 1kg Green

Been using Overture TPU (And their other filaments) for the past few years and have had great results every time. Their color variety is usually pretty extensive and the prices are pretty reasonable. Way more affordable than that other brand that only did 800g rolls for the longest time. I do have to dry this stuff out sometimes if it's been sitting for a while but then it goes back to printing just like it was new. Sticks to the the best super well with good adhesion (almost too good). I think every roll that I have gotten has had the seal intact which has been good. Will continue to keep buying more unless something changes which after 4+ years I don't think it will.

I was hesitant to purchase flexi filament because of stock bowden setup on my printer, but decided to give it a shot. No issues printing with this on my printer. Slightly stringy, but that's because I wasn't keeping all travels within the print. Shore 90 with 4 walls is about the stiffness of those clear stick on rubber feet. Thinner walls aren't as durable, but feel much softer and floppy. Made a couple corner bumpers for a project with this. Will consider purchasing more colors when I find more uses for it.

Great item. I am new to printing 3Ds but it has been easy to use and printed some really fun items. The material is a really nice texture for little trinkets and toys.

Good

Works really well on a variety of printers (MPSM V1, Bambu P1S, Sovol SV06 with some tuning). The green color is really nice, and it's got good flexibility but also holds its structure really well.

I print a lot of TPU making items to sell in my small business. Overture TPU produces nice quality prints and the quality has been consistent between colors. I've never had a jam from inconsistent filament diameter, unlike Priline's TPU.

Yes, I'm sure a few experienced 3D printer operators read my review title and thought "Yeah...TPU is like that." I have been 3D printing objects for almost five years and TPU has been a consistent medium of choice, along with PLA and PETG. I've ran some pretty flexible filaments, such as Ninjaflex and some AmazonBasics 95A TPU that seemed a little softer than 95A. This filament is twice as a gummy and stretchy as either of the aforementioned filaments. As I write this, I'm running a test print on one of my printers, a JGAurora A5S. Unlike my Artillery Sidewinder X1 and my Flashforge Creator Pro (V1), the A5S features a Bowden style extruder setup, and getting tight line widths is proving to be tricky with this filament! To diverge on a tangent, if anyone is wondering why I don't use a different printer beside the A5S, then it's because the two other printers I have are currently busy with other jobs and setups. Back to the review. So, I will advise caution to anyone that has a bowden style extruder on their printer(s) with this filament. I am in no way saying don't buy this, because it is possible to print with this filament with such a setup, it will just need more intricate dialing in than usual. The test prints I've run this filament through have come out complete and functional, but they simply are not to my liking. Anyway, aside from the extreme flexibility this filament boasts, it's also surprisingly stable! I've had this spool sitting in the open on the A5S for a week now, and with many TPU filaments in my experience, that is more than enough time for the filament to absorb moisture and degrade print quality. The fact that I am only getting stringing on multiple print runs after this time is excellent. Furthermore, bed adhesion has been great and initial layers of prints look great as well. Aside from the reduced flow from this filament's gummy nature, I haven't had any flow issues at all, and the filament thus far is cleanly wound on its spool, and I haven't experienced any tangles. I'm going to keep working at this filament until I have a good slicer profile established. I can think of numerous DIY projects I have planned (such as a DIY paint bottle shaker) that could benefit from, say a belt or strap printed with this exceptionally stretchy filament. If you have a need like this, then get a spool of this filament! If you're looking for firmer, less gummy TPU, then I would recommend SainSmart or LeoPLA TPU filaments.

Our first time using TPU, we wanted the flexibility. After much trial and error, I will share our machine settings for least stringy, smoothest final product: nozzle temp 235 or 240, bed temp 40C; change retraction to a tiny distance, like 0.5 mm (or disable it); using "combing" feature even though it slows down the print- prevents stringing. If you get strings- and you will- they melt away like cotton candy under a heat gun. They are very difficult to cut or grind away. Nozzle speed around 20 mm/sec (can't exactly remember this number- but go much slower than PLA)
