ESUN (R) TPU-HS offers good flexibility with a hardness of 95A. It is easy to print and can quickly produce large, complex, and accurate prototypes of elastomer parts. The material provides excellent elasticity, ensuring printed products are not easily deformed. It boasts good flexibility, high tear resistance, wear resistance, and cut resistance, contributing to its sturdiness and durability. Its high hardness and good resilience make it suitable for applications such as insoles and other comfort-related products.

Drying Recommendations
N/A
It is recommended to dry the printing (55°C/>4H) to achieve the best printing effect. It is recommended to use it with eBOX cartridges when printing.
Notes
- It is recommended to dry the printing (55°C/>4H) to achieve the best printing effect. It is recommended to use it with eBOX cartridges when printing.
- It is recommended to use a short-range two-wheel reduction extruder designed for flexibility. TPU-HS materials are usually difficult to print on a remote extrusion machine. The remote extruder can try to print at a slower speed at 20mm/s or even slower.
- The nozzle may have impurities after printing for a long time. It is recommended to use it with the cleaning filament. If necessary, replace the nozzle and throat with a new one.
Print Test Condition
The physical properties, mechanical properties, thermal properties, and electrical properties of the filament are obtained based on the injection molding spline test.
