colorFabb varioShore TPU Black Filament | 1.75MM, 0.70KG Spool

$74.95

colorFabb varioShore TPU takes flexible filament to the next level by using the same foaming technology debuted with their LW-PLA. Their varioShore TPU has a few main distinctive features: its variable shore hardness, reduced weight and density and soft touch. It allows users to vary the density of the material by adjusting temperature and material throughput (speed & layer height).

KEY FEATURES:

  • Light Weight
  • Soft Touch
  • Prosthetics

Please note that colour variations may occur. Colour will turn lighter when material is at maximum foamed state as opposed to non-foamed state which shows a deeper and richer colour.

SPECIFICATIONS:

Recommended Nozzle Temp: 190-250°C
Recommended Bed Temp: 20-40°C
Recommended Print Speed: 20-30 mm/s

Active Cooling Fan: Use the least amount of cooling when maximum foaming is required. For better overhang performance use 50-100% cooling. Use standard TPU settings as a base setting for developing your own pre-sets.

Make sure the distance between nozzle and platform is not to small, especially if the material is being foamed while printing, the pressure will need to be released from the hot-end to prevent clogging and feeder issues.

Material: colorFabb varioShore TPU
Diameter Tolerance: ± 0.1 mm
Glass Transition Temperature: -20°C

colorFabb varioShore TPU takes flexible filament to the next level by using the same foaming technology debuted with their LW-PLA. Their varioShore TPU has a few main distinctive features: its variable shore hardness, reduced weight and density and soft touch. It allows users to vary the density of the material by adjusting temperature and material throughput (speed & layer height).

At temperatures between 200 and 250°C the materials will start to expand to roughly 1.4-1.6 times its original volume. This means the material can be printed at low flow rates (60-70%), to compensate the active foaming, which in return gives very soft printed parts.

Between 190-200°C the material can be printed without foaming, resulting in different haptics and harder prints compared to foamed samples.

Developed in co-operation with Lubrizol, colorFabb varioShore TPU is a material ideally suited for printing insoles and cosplay parts for instance.

Please note that colour variations may occur with colorFabb varioShore TPU. Colour will turn lighter when material is at maximum foamed state as opposed to non-foamed state which shows a deeper and richer colour.

Material oozes on travel moves, this is normal and can’t be reduced completely.

Tip! Use the least amount of cooling when maximum foaming is required. For better overhang performance use 50-100% cooling.

We advise our community to use standard TPU settings as a base setting for developing your own pre-sets.

Make sure the distance between nozzle and platform is not to small, especially if the material is being foamed while printing, the pressure will need to be released from the hot-end to prevent clogging and feeder issues.

COLORFABB SPECIAL FILAMENTS

Innovation never stops at colorFabb. Our ever expanding range of special filaments have been industry leading for years. Some of them are for aesthetic purposes, others are pure functionality or for specific niche applications. Materials like woodFill, bronzeFill, XT-CF20, LW-PLA, varioShore TPU and DPA-100 support filament were developed in-house and have been successes ever since. By listening to our customers’ needs and forging strategic partnerships with material OEMs we are able to innovate continuously and bring FDM/FFF 3D printing to the next level.
