Creality CR-TPU Filament combines excellent flexibility, durability and reliable print performance, making it an ideal choice for 3D printing applications that require flexible, elastic and impact-resistant components.
The Black colour provides a clean, professional finish, making it suitable for functional flexible parts, protective covers, grips, seals, bumpers, cushioning components and general-purpose flexible 3D printing projects.
CR-TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a flexible filament designed to produce parts that can bend, stretch and absorb impact while maintaining their shape and functionality. Its combination of elasticity, abrasion resistance and durability makes it a versatile choice for hobbyists, makers, engineers and professionals.
Key Features
Flexible & Elastic – Produces flexible parts that can bend and deform while returning towards their original shape.
Excellent Abrasion Resistance – Suitable for components exposed to regular friction and wear.
Good Impact Resistance – Helps absorb shocks and everyday knocks.
Strong Layer Adhesion – Supports durable prints with reliable bonding between layers when printed correctly.
Durable & Resilient – Designed for applications requiring flexibility and long-lasting performance.
Chemical Resistance – Offers resistance to various oils, greases and common chemicals, depending on exposure conditions.
Reliable Extrusion – Designed for consistent feeding and print quality with suitable printer configurations.
Versatile Applications – Ideal for protective covers, seals, grips, bumpers, flexible housings and functional components.
Wide Compatibility – Compatible with FDM 3D printers capable of printing flexible TPU filament, preferably using a direct-drive extruder.
Black Finish – Provides a professional, understated appearance for functional and flexible printed components.

Storage
TPU filament can absorb moisture from the air, which may cause stringing, bubbling, inconsistent extrusion and reduced print quality.
For best results, keep the filament sealed in its original packaging or an airtight container with desiccant. Store it in a cool, dry environment when not in use.
If the filament has absorbed moisture, dry it according to the manufacturer's recommended drying temperature and duration before printing.
Note: Printing performance depends on the printer, extruder type, nozzle, model geometry and slicer settings. TPU is a flexible material and may require slower printing speeds and adjusted retraction settings for optimal results. For the best results, follow the specifications and recommended print settings supplied with your particular Creality CR-TPU spool.
