Product variants
Filament "The Filament" TPU - 87A is a semi-flexible thermoplastic polyurethane with Shore 87A hardness, offering a balanced ratio between elasticity, mechanical resistance and easy processability. An ideal choice for functional parts that must withstand repeated bending, impacts and mechanical stress.
Key features
TPU 87A filament belongs to the category of flexible filaments and offers an optimal balance between rigidity and flexibility. Thanks to Shore 87A hardness, it is sufficiently pliable for applications requiring elasticity, while maintaining the dimensional stability needed for technical parts. The material excels in high abrasion resistance, good layer adhesion and resistance to oils and many chemicals.
The filament contains recycled material, which helps reduce the carbon footprint without compromising mechanical properties. The precisely formulated composition ensures smooth feeding through the extruder and consistent results even during longer print jobs.

Who is Filament "The Filament" TPU - 87A suitable for
The material is intended for makers who need functional flexible parts with good mechanical resistance. It is used in the production of gaskets, damping elements, protective covers, electronic enclosures, wheel tyres for RC models, straps, handles, non-slip pads or orthopaedic and ergonomic components. Thanks to its resistance to dynamic loading, it is also suitable for parts exposed to repeated bending and compression. More information about other types of flexible materials can be found in the TPU filaments category.
Tips for use
- Use a direct drive extruder for more reliable feeding of the flexible filament.
- Reduce print speed - flexible materials cannot withstand high speeds without the risk of clogging.
- Set minimal retraction to prevent the filament from tangling in the extruder.
- Dry the material before printing - TPU is hygroscopic and moisture causes bubbles and poor layer adhesion.
- For good first layer adhesion, use a clean bed or a glue stick.
- Use active cooling in moderation - excessive cooling worsens interlayer adhesion.
- Store in a dry place with a moisture absorber to maintain print quality.
