Colorfabb Varioshore TPU 1.75mm 700g

Colorfabb has taken TPU… and made it special by using the same foaming technology we debuted with LW-PLA. Colorfabbs varioShore TPU has a few main distinctive features: its variable shore hardness reduced weight and density and soft touch. varioShore TPU allows users to vary the density of the material by adjusting temperature and material throughput (speed & layer height). At temperatures between 200 and 250C 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 for the active foaming, which in return gives very soft printed parts. Between 190-200C the material can be printed without foaming, resulting in different haptics and harder prints compared to foamed samples.

Pros

• Light Weight
• Soft Touch
• Prosthetics

Cons

• color variations may occur. Color will turn lighter when the material is at maximum foamed state as opposed to non-foamed state which shows a deeper and richer color.

This is what our customers are saying about this material:
-“…Must have material for RC planes! Light, easy to print, can cut and trim, too”
-"...LW-PLA, it’s perhaps the most ingenious 3D printer filament on the market."
-“…So far I have used this for cosplay and the weight reduction is amazing”
-“...This filament creates strong, lightweight parts with great surface finish and it sands very well (better than normal PLA)”
-“…I've been using this filament for various decorative prints to be worn, and the weight reduction is a real advantage!”
-..”Ideal for Drone replacement parts”
