Printing Tips
Drying, Storage & Protection
• Pre-Drying: TPU is extremely hygroscopic and must be dried before use. Dry the filament at 70°C for 6 hours.
• Storage: When not in use, keep the filament away from direct sunlight in a sealed container with desiccant.
• Recommended Solution: We highly recommend using SnapDryer, which serves as an all-in-one solution to perfectly dry and store your filament. Watch our video guide to get started with SnapDryer.
Printing
• Nozzle Selection: Printing with a 0.2 mm nozzle is not recommended.
• Loading & Unloading: TPU is a flexible filament that demands precise control during loading and unloading. Improper handling may lead to issues such as loading problems or nozzle clogs. To minimize the risk of print failures, the filament must be loaded and unloaded manually. Do not use the automatic filament feeder. We strongly recommend watching our video guide before your first print.
• Drying While Printing: For optimal print quality, we recommend using SnapDryer while printing.
• Removal: TPU tends to over-stick to the build plate, which may damage the print during removal. We recommend spraying alcohol at the interface between the model and the bed during removal.
• Optimizing First-Layer Adhesion: If first-layer adhesion fails, please check the bed levelling and clean the build plate. If the issue persists, apply a glue stick or liquid glue to improve adhesion.
• Fixing Bubbles & Stringing: If you notice bubbles or heavy stringing, dry your filament thoroughly first. If stringing continues, try reducing the distance between models, increasing the retraction distance or speed, and decreasing the travel speed.
• Fixing Model Collapse: If the model collapses during printing, first ensure the cooling fan is set to 100%. Additionally, you can rotate the model so the affected area faces the cooling fan and position it closer to the fan. This enhances localized cooling and improves print quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is a Top Cover required for TPU 95A HF?
2. Is a Hardened Steel Hot End required for TPU 95A HF?
No, it is not required. However, a 0.2 mm nozzle is not recommended for TPU 95A HF due to its high extrusion resistance and increased risk of clogging. A larger nozzle size ensures smoother extrusion, better flow stability, and more reliable printing performance.
3. Can I use the automatic filament feeder when printing with TPU 95A HF?
TPU is a flexible filament that requires more precise control during both loading and unloading. Using automatic filament feeding may cause issues such as filament loading failures, unstable feeding, or nozzle clogs, increasing the risk of print failure.
To ensure the best printing experience, please load and unload TPU filament manually and do not use the automatic filament feeder.
We also strongly recommend watching our video guide before starting your first TPU print.

4. Do I need to dry TPU 95A HF before printing and keep it continuously dried?
It is necessary to dry TPU 95A HF before printing. TPU is highly moisture-sensitive, and absorbed moisture can lead to issues such as stringing, bubbling, and inconsistent extrusion.
For optimal print quality, it is also necessary to keep the filament continuously dried during printing and storage.
For best results, it is recommended to use a filament dryer such as the SnapDryer throughout both pre-print drying and the printing process.
5. Build Plate Recommendation
| Build Plate | Compatibility |
| U1 Textured PEl Steel Plate | Compatible |
| U1 Smooth PEI Steel Plate | Compatible |
| U1 Graphic Effect Steel Plate | Compatible |
• Removal: TPU tends to over-stick to the build plate, which may damage the print during removal. We recommend spraying alcohol at the interface between the model and the bed during removal.
• Optimizing First-Layer Adhesion: If first-layer adhesion fails, please check the bed levelling and clean the build plate. If the issue persists, apply a glue stick or liquid glue to improve adhesion.
6. Generic TPU 95A VS TPU 95A HF
| Comparison Dimensions | Generic TPU 95A | TPU 95A HF |
| Flowability | Lower (soft & sticky) | Higher (easier extrusion) |
| Recommended Print Speed | 20–40 mm/s | 50–110 mm/s |
| Feeding Quality | Prone to slipping/jamming | More stable |
| Stringing | Pronounced | Improved |
| Retraction Response | Poor (typical for soft materials) | More controllable |
| Printing Difficulty | High (especially for beginners) | Significantly reduced |
| Elastic Performance | Standard TPU elasticity | Similar to Generic TPU 95A |
7. How can I reduce stringing?
If you notice bubbles or heavy stringing when printing with TPU, we recommend drying the filament thoroughly first, as moisture is one of the most common causes of stringing. For optimal print quality, using SnapDryer during printing is also recommended.
If stringing persists after drying, try the following adjustments:
• Reduce the distance between models to minimize travel moves.
• Increase the retraction distance.
• Increase the retraction speed.
• Decrease the travel speed.
These adjustments can help reduce oozing and improve overall print quality.
8. How can I reduce nozzle clogging issues?
To reduce the risk of nozzle clogging when printing with TPU, we recommend optimizing the following settings and setup:
• Nozzle Selection: Printing with a 0.2 mm nozzle is not recommended, as the smaller nozzle diameter may increase the likelihood of clogging when printing flexible materials.
• Retraction Settings: Reduce the retraction distance (or disable retraction if necessary), as excessive retraction may lead to heat creep and cause the filament to soften inside the hot end.
• Filament Feeding: Use a hanging spool setup to minimize feeding resistance and allow smoother filament delivery.
• Stable Extrusion: Ensure the filament feeds smoothly and consistently throughout the print to avoid unnecessary strain on the extrusion system.
These adjustments can help improve extrusion stability and reduce the chance of nozzle clogging during TPU printing.
