Fillamentum 90A TPE Filament – 1.75mm Natural 0.5kg

For Makers looking to print a squishy little octopus friend or an interesting flexible mechanical part, a more unique style of 3D Filament is required. TPE filament is a thermoplastic elastomer that blends copolymers and polymers like hard plastic and soft rubber. This interesting concoction gives you a very flexible very strong material with unique mechanical properties for your prints. This Fillamentum TPE Filament has a shore A harness of 90 with the soft flexibility of TPE, giving you a unique squishy but tough print finish.

Add flexibility to your 3D prints to create fun toys and even print your own shoes with this Fillamentum TPE filament. Fillamentum is a brand that always excites us with their engineering-grade 3D filaments while maintaining a standard easy for hobbyists to print and enjoy! This particular TPE is classified as 90A, which directly references its impressive tensile strength. Fillamentum 90A TPE Filament is designed with useful functional properties such as chemical resistance, food safe, and smooth matte finish. TPE filament is usually softer and more flexible than TPU filaments. Fillamentum TPE is ideal for printing brackets that need a little more flex than what TPU, PETG, or ABS Filaments offer. It’s time to start making your own stretchy keyrings, elastic mounting bands or even a new pair of flip-flops!

This Fillamentum TPE Filament is Natural, with a shiny clear finish. Fillamentum is one of the most reliably vibrant brands with colours that are defined to precise RAL and Pantone standards, as well as checked by extreme quality control measures. Although TPE may be tougher to print than other standard filaments, the results are worth the effort as you print your favourite flexible designs, such as the classic “Flexy Rex.” As we’ve mentioned, TPE can also be quite an impressive functional filament that can easily be utilised in the real world. We’ve enjoyed TPE’s handy applications like high-grip robot wheels, rubber feet for 3D printers, door stops and many other useful things that we can use around the office and home. Fillamentum Natural TPE is an awesome material to have on hand, with high levels of functionality and incredible flexing fun!

Starting in as early as 2013, but with roots that go even further than that, Fillamentum is a brand that actually began working in the automotive industry, before moving into the packaging industry, and then eventually arriving in (and specialising in) 3D printing, where they found their true passion. And as a company that has always placed a high priority on following innovation, they took to 3D printing like a fish to water, and since 2013, have been consistently introducing fresh new innovations to the industry in the form of new types of polymers, refinements to classic polymers, as well as hybrid polymers that blend in materials like wood for distinctively unique effects.

What we really love about Fillamentum and their awesome 3D filaments range, is that they offer true consistency even between hundreds or thousands of batches. In fact, they actually match many of their colours to specifically defined Pantones and RAL colours, which are universal colour standards that artists, designers and many other professionals commonly use for precision colour coordination. This of course is complemented by their consistent quality, with an impressive (and tested) 0.05mm tolerance throughout each spool, as well as consistent results from various colours across multiple batches during our own testing phases.

As a brand that clearly demonstrates its passion for 3D printing through it’s beautiful 3D filaments, we’ve been exceptionally impressed with Fillamentum, and we certainly won’t be too surprised if Fillamentum becomes your new favourite 3D filament for all occasions.
