TPU-CF – Carbon Fibre Enhanced TPU 95A Filament

TPU+CF

TPU-CF is an advanced carbon fiber-reinforced TPU filament designed for superior flexibility and durability. Made with premium carbon fiber—not powder or dust— this filament combines the elasticity of TPU with enhanced strength and rigidity from the carbon fiber reinforcement.

It offers the ease of printing similar to standard TPU while providing improved impact resistance, dimensional stability, and wear resistance. Delivered on an eco-friendly, vacuum-sealed cardboard reel, TPU-CF ensures high performance and excellent print quality.

With its exceptional flexibility, strength, and heat resistance, TPU-CF is an ideal choice for printing durable and functional parts that require both resilience and adaptability, such as gaskets, flexible joints, and custom-fit components.

Nozzle: We currently recommend a hardened steel nozzle with a minimum diameter of 0.4mm.

Diameter 1.75mm2 ±0.03
Density 1.24 ±0.05g/cm2
Print Temp 215-250ºC
Hot bed 50-90ºC (required)
Surface Blue tape, glue stick, PEI

To ensure optimal adhesion of TPU filament with carbon fiber, it is recommended to apply an adhesive (such as glue stick or hairspray) to the print bed to help the first layer adhere properly. While using a heated bed is not mandatory, maintaining a bed temperature between 45°C and 60°C is recommended for better results. The ideal printing temperature ranges from 215°C to 245°C, with the cooling fan set to 100% for consistent layer cooling.

If you encounter printing issues, such as filament slipping in the extruder or inconsistent extrusion:

• Disable Retraction: This can help prevent the flexible filament from slipping or binding in the extruder.
• Increase Flow Rate: Adjust the flow rate slightly to compensate for any intermittent extrusion and ensure smooth printing.

These settings will help achieve better results, ensuring both proper adhesion and consistent extrusion when working with TPU filament reinforced with carbon fiber.
