Dec 23, 2024 · To print with TPU filament, ensure your 3D printer is equipped with a direct drive extruder, as it provides better control and reduces the risk of filament kinking or jamming. Creality's early Ender series printers primarily used Bowden extruders.

In this guide, we'll show you how to successfully print TPU with a Creality 3D printer, including recommend slicer settings for specific models such as the Creality Ender 3. We'll also give you our recommendations for printer upgrades to improve TPU printing performance.

Due to the large feeding resistance of Teflon tubes in K series machines, printing TPU from the machine’s built-in filament rack will cause empty printing and insufficient extrusion. So printing TPU requires the following work:

There are three types of TPU available in CrealityPrint6.0, namely CR-TPU, HP-TPU, and Generic TPU; please select the corresponding filament for slicing. If you are using non-Creality filament to slice, we recommend:

CR-TPU Filament 1.75mm 1kg Flexibility : finished model has uniform color, elasticity flexibility, smoothness and fitness Fast Printing : farewell to insufficient extrusion, fast printing speed of 120mm/s ,3-5 times faster than ordinary TPU printing speed

Dec 23, 2024 · Learn the best temperature settings for TPU in 3D printing to avoid extrusion problems and achieve flexible, durable prints every time.

Nov 5, 2024 · TPU with hardness of 80A, 75A, 70A (or lower) is not recommended for printing on Creality printers, as it is too soft and can be flattened by the extruder gear, causing nozzle clogging. To ensure print quality and stability, it is recommended not to print TPU-type filaments directly through the PTFE tube, as the resistance of the PTFE tube will ...

Creality print and orca have presets for tpu which you can further tweak. Slowing the print speed is the easy bit, it’s the long Bowden tube I’m worried about. I printed a very nice filament spool holder that sits on top of the printer so I can feed TPU directly into the hot end (see Printables). Haven’t tried it yet so wish me luck.

Higher Resilience & Hardness: Soft Adhesive Material, boasting a 95A hardness, filament tpu combines high resilience, exceptional glossiness, and elasticity for optimal results. Harder and easier to print than standard TPU, it delivers precise, durable outputs with minimal warping.
