Product details
Features & specifications
Bambu Lab TPU 75A is an ultra-soft 2.85mm thermoplastic polyurethane filament made for the Bambu Lab H3C and its FlexFeed extruder. At a 75A hardness it is one of the softest flexible materials available for FFF printing, with the cushioning and skin-friendly feel needed for wearables such as shoes, watch bands, padding, and other parts that are worn, bent, and squeezed every day.
Highlights
- Ultra-soft and wearable. A 75A Shore hardness and high rebound give real cushioning, and the material is certified for skin contact.
- Fast, reliable flexible printing. The larger 2.85mm diameter pairs with the H3C FlexFeed extruder to reach a 10mm³/s volumetric flow rate, about three times a conventional 1.75mm setup in internal lab testing.
- Natural matte finish. Retuned to print without the oily sheen common to TPU, leaving a smooth, skin-like texture.
- Built to take a beating. Over 800% elongation at break and strong tear and abrasion resistance suit parts that flex and wear all day.

Printing and Care
- Must be dried. This filament absorbs moisture quickly. Dry it before printing, either in a forced-air oven at 70°C for 8 hours or on the printer heatbed at 90°C for 16 hours, and use a large dry box so the spool does not deform.
- Seal it after use. Store unused filament right away in a sealed container with desiccant, below 20% relative humidity.
- Load it correctly. Set Flow Dynamics Calibration to Auto, and never insert it directly into an AMS feed inlet, which can damage the machine. It can be combined in multi-material prints with filaments other than PLA and PETG.
- Print safely. Use a well-ventilated area, and keep filament and fragments away from children and pets. This filament is not food-grade, so do not use finished prints for food storage or contact.
