Description
The eSUN eLastic TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) filament is a high-performance material that combines the best properties of plastic and rubber. This unique copolymer blend offers incredible bending and flexural strength, coupled with impressive elongation capabilities, making it the perfect choice for creating custom, stretchy 3D printed objects like mounting bands, custom keyrings, or even prototype footwear.
Despite its advanced elastic properties, eLastic TPE is surprisingly accessible. It prints within a temperature range similar to PLA+, making it a great entry point for makers looking to experiment with flexible materials. While flexible, it is softer and often more available than other alternatives, offering high versatility for hobbyists and professionals alike. Note: This material is soft and requires a 3D printer capable of handling flexible filaments to ensure smooth extrusion.
