Zerse 3D introduces Prusa's very own Prusament filament to South Africa. Prusament PU 95A Tis manufactured in-house by Josef Prusa and the whole manufacturing process is closely monitored and tested - with guaranteed 0.06mm precision and highly-consistent colors.
Prusament TPU 95A is a durable material with flexible properties and extreme wear resistance. It offers a precise and consistent diameter, which is by far not a common thing among flexible filaments. The Prusament TPU 95A polymer structure (ether diol type) slightly differs from most TPU filaments (ester diol type). This difference gives this material several advantages in both mechanical and chemical resistance. The Prusament TPU 95A offers very low moisture absorption and high hydrolysis resistance. Its high elasticity and impact resistance remain even at low temperatures (as low as -50 C). Also, this material is resistant to microbial degradation, comes with good temperature resistance (HDT 78.6 C at 1.80 MPa), and great chemical resistance (mostly to oil and grease).
Technical Parameters:
- Nozzle: 230 C
- Heatbed: 65 C
- Recommended Steel Sheet: PA Nylon / Satin
- Filament Diameter: 1.75mm
Why choose Prusament TPU:
- Soft and bendable at thin layers, strong and durable at thick layers
- High print reliability with little to no stringing
- Precise diameter
- Good at printing bridges and overhangs (compared with other TPUs)
- Great wear resistance
- Flexible and durable at sub-zero temperatures
- High resistance to hydrolysis and microbial degradation
- This TPU 95A was made in-house at Prusa Research.
- This 1.75mm filament has a manufacturing tolerance of 0.06 mm.
In thin layers with low infill, TPU is very soft and flexible. In thick layers, it becomes strong and virtually indestructible. If you want to print soft parts, use less dense gyroid infill. If you need durable and wear-resistant parts, try printing with more perimeters and high infill.
Beginners tips & tricks
Don't print TPU directly on the smooth PEI sheet to prevent damage. We recommend using Satin or PA Nylon sheet instead. If you need to use a smooth sheet anyway, don't forget to apply a separation layer onto it.
Sometimes you may encounter some stringing - this is usually caused by long storage in a humid area. Dry the filament as described in our online Help article, then store it in a drybox. Some of the stringing can be removed during the postprocessing with a lighter or a heat gun.
