GIANTARM TPU Filament 1.75mm 1Kg(2.2lbs), Clear Filament TPU, 95A Flexible 3D Printer Filament with High Elasticity, ±0.03mm Accuracy, Neatly Wound & Moistureproof, Non-Clogging, TPU Clear

This is the first time I've ever used TPU and I was a bit concerned that I was going to have issues with it, but it wasn't as worrisome as I thought and I'm fairly certain this filament is part of the reason why. For reference I'm printing on a Qidi imate-S with a .6 mm nozzle on a 60 degree heated glass bed with an enclosure, top off but sides closed up. I started out with a phone case trying the settings used in the listing, and while it printed "okay" it wasn't fabulous. So I tried another one with settings that I found in a Qidi user group. Again, "okay" but not great. So I scrapped the settings and set them to the default TPU setting in the slicer and tried a simpler print - a snowflake ornament. It came out PERFECT. So nice; no stringing no warping. Just beautiful. So I thought, back to the a phone case. The third attempt was way better than the first two. Still not without some flaws, but usable for sure. Bridging the button holes with supports was a bit rough, the sides turned out good, the bottom speaker and cable holes weren't as nice, but they pass muster. Still have some dialing in to do obviously, but considering I went from meh to really good in a day with a tricky filament the first time using it, I give this filament an A+. The adhesion was really good on the smaller print, and while the phone case didn't come up it did seem to have some marring on the first layer that suggest that it didn't fully stick in all places. So you may need additional adhesive or play with your bed temps when using this. I've heard that TPU is very hygroscopic we've had it out for over 27 hours on the printer and noticed only very slight stringing by the end of that time. Our house is really dry though and not humid, so I imagine that others may see the moisture absorption sooner than that. I highly recommend GIANTARM TPU filament for anyone looking to explore the versatile world of flexible 3D printing. It's definitely a great TPU for beginners to start with as it didn't frustrate too much to try and get the settings dialed in and we did get usable prints within the first day of working with it.

I printed these with the Bambu X1C, with food dehydrator for about 128 F for 24h. A temp tower led to 220 to print. After the temp test, did flow dynamic and flow rate calibrations. It was printed from a filament dehydrator set at 55, though often i forgot to turn it back on. This was my second project with TPU, so I'm not too familiar, though I did read up on basic. I printed TPU Lattice Structure, Gyroid pad, tpu infinity cubes, and croc shoes. You can find these files on makerworld. The TPU infinity cubes was printed on JUUPINE's PEY plate. The rest were printed on Bambu Textured plate. I had no major issues with these print, as they had good adhesion. The blue is a nice pretty colors. I did have stringing issues, but that is expected with TPU, and If I had more experienced, I could have fine tuned it more. The Lattice Structure went perfect, but was string, most went away after using hairdryer. It was a bit difficult to remove form plate with the brim. I should have tested without brim. Gyroid pad came out perfect. Infinity cube had rough corners, which lead me to investigate latter. Printing the croc shoes, it went mostly fine, with expected stringing. it did have rough spots as you can see. It not good as actual crocs which feels a bit softer. the side hole was a bit of annoyance clean out though. I decided to investigate the infinity cube, wondering if it was the infinity file. I tried all 3 infinity cube files, and notice common issues where the edges were very rough. I realized this is due to not doing a retraction test. The default Bambu TPU retraction is 0.4 mm. I ended up using 0.7 mm with some improvement, which you can see in that image with 2 infinity cubes [1 being 0.4 mm and 2 being 0.7 mm], with some improvements. Remember to do ALL your basic filament calibrations. Retraction test would have made my prints way better. I'm not sure about print speed, as was told it is recommended to slow it down for TPU, but I'm not sure if that made a difference. I would recommend GIANTARM TPU, it is ease to use, fun to play with. The blue Color is very pretty. REMEMBER TO DO RETRACTION CALIBRATION. remember heat gun / hair dryer would help for cleaning up most stringing.

Top 5 best filaments I’ve ever used. Not a single failed print from 2.5 rolls. I thought I needed to dry it, but it didn’t seem to need any drying. Blue color is epic, like peacock blue. I used it to make bumpers for my 9 month old so he doesn’t bang his head on stuff. Works amazing and worth every penny.

UPDATE: Stars changed from 5 to 4. I was so impressed with Black, that I ordered Yellow and Red both of which do not print as well as the Black. I had to change print settings fairly drastically in order to get the red and yellow to print at all. Upon delivery I was able to confirm the red filament, although it appeared to be vacuum sealed, was not. Air had already infiltrated the package before I opened. The Yellow however was sealed tight however both yielded frustrating print results and total failure as it constantly jammed. Visual comparison between the red/yellow and black indicate the black was wound more neatly, and more uniform. The red/yellow had minor twists and turns which help the jamming process in that if it's already bending in one direction it will easily give in that direction when its being pulled and pushed into the extruder resulting in a jam. I've had luck with the following updated settings and unwinding the spool while winding onto a smaller lighter wait spool and completely loosening the feed pressure. Updated settings Temp: 233 Speed: 20mm/s Retraction 1.5mm Fan: 50% ORIGINAL REVIEW: Spool was vacuum sealed upon delivery. I was skeptical having not used this brand or having ever printed with TPU in the past as I had great success Flexible PLA in all colors but black. After reading and combining recommended settings from multiple forums, I had a perfect print right out of the gate without glue on a flexible course metal bed.

I've printed a bunch of rolls of this material and really liked it until the last two. I started having printing problems with one roll, finally tracked it down to the filament diameter - previous rolls measured 1.73-1.75mm, that roll measured 1.89mm and was causing skips or outright jams. Thinking I just got a bad roll and wanting to continue using the same color (transparent blue), I bought another roll, and same problem - 1.90mm diameter and failed prints. Reprinting with a roll of the same material in black with the correct size works fine. A waste of $44. I'd really like my money back, or better yet two rolls of transparent blue that have been properly quality controlled. Clearly someone is asleep at their micrometer...

I love this stuff! I have printed a lot of drone accessories with this spool, print quality is consistently solid. I am using the "generic TPU" settings on my BambuLabs A1 through the non-AMS spool holder and I have not had a single feed issue. Print stringing is not too bad at all, nothing atypical. Printed part flexibility is great, durability has been amazing, even when I am tugging on stubborn supports! I have printed an assortment of guards and landing feet and camera mounts and antenna mounts that have held up to some gnarly crashes with zero damage. This color is BRIGHT, which is great for helping spot a drone that you have crashed. I have had zero layer or bed adhesion problems. When this is gone, I'll order more of it, and I plan to check out the other colors they offer as well. It is great to print parts that I can use for their intended purpose (essentially, crash protection!) without worrying about the filament's ability to print a nice looking, functional part.

Out of all of the filament types we use, TPU is one of the most difficult filaments to print with due to the moisture content. I have used TPU from Overature, Sunlu and Duramic and after drying for 8 hours or more I have still encountered issues with stinging and layer adhesion. After having so many issues I decided to try this off brand filament from GIANTARM thinking it could be any worse than the name brands I had tried. Boy was I wrong. After drying this filament for 8 hours at 65 degrees Celsius this filament printed like a champ. No layer lines of adhesion issues and almost zero stringing using the default generic TPU profile in Bambu Studio. After running a retraction test that came out beautifully I decided to print some new anti vibration feet for my X1C. I started using the default store but then bumped up the nozzle temp and flow rate just to see if it could handle it and it came out perfect as you can see in the attached pictures. I have to say I am absolutely thrilled with this filament and now I am going to have to try their PLA and ABS filaments as well. I also loved how this blue TPU came out. I originally thought it might be too over bearing as a color, but it looks fantastic. Not too dark with just the right amount of transparency. This filament is fantastic and at this time this is my new favorite TPU filament. This filament also comes with a seperate storage bag which was a nice added touch.

Recently I converted my ender3 v2 to direct drive because I want to try some TPU. I used some PLA with this brand before and have good results, and most importantly it is cheaper than buying other brand TPU filaments. The filament arrived on time, well packed and the vacuum seal is good. I did some test print and this filament is very easy to print, it adheres very well, good flow and retraction is OK too. For my machine, I set the hotend temp at 220 and the bed temp at 50. The speed is set at 20 but I think I can go 30 without too much of quality lose. I also set the flow to 120%. The retraction is set at 0.8/40, I got almost no stringing for most of models I printed. So far I have no clog or extruder skip or filament tangling, no issue at all. The filament is harder than I expected but the print quality is very good. The edges and the details are all kept a high accuracy. with 5% infill the print is very squeezable. I just love print TPU, it is fun thing to do. I bought the clear one but the final print is semi-transparent unless I set the infill to 100%. But I think it is normal for all kind of filament. I highly recommend this TPU filament, especially for someone like me who just want to try TPU print.

Die Qualität des aus diesem Filament gedruckten Materials ist einfach hervorragend. Es fließt sanft und gleichmäßig durch meinen 3D-Drucker, ohne jegliche Probleme. Die gedruckten Objekte überzeugen mit ihrer makellosen Oberfläche, klaren Linien und erstaunlichen Details. Was dieses Filament wirklich auszeichnet, ist der seidige Glanz, den es den Objekten verleiht.

Ich bin mit dem GIANTARM Silk PLA Filament sehr zufrieden. Die Farbe sieht wirklich schön und hochwertig aus. Besonders der seidige Glanz kommt bei den gedruckten Modellen sehr gut zur Geltung. Das Filament lässt sich problemlos verarbeiten und läuft gleichmäßig durch den Drucker. Die Druckergebnisse sind sauber und die einzelnen Schichten sehen sehr gleichmäßig aus. Auch bei detaillierteren Modellen konnte ich bisher keine Probleme feststellen. Das Material macht insgesamt einen guten und zuverlässigen Eindruck. Für den Preis bekommt man eine wirklich schöne Qualität. Ich würde das Filament auf jeden Fall wieder kaufen und kann es weiterempfehlen.

Will buy again

J'ai commander 2 rouleau tpu de GiantArm. 1 noir et 1 vert. Les 2 arrivées pas scellées aucun vaccum... C'est très midiocre comme qualité. Depuis quand c'est pas scellé...aucune idée... Bref je suis réellement décu de GiantArm.

Première commande de cette marque et j'en suis plus que satisfait ! La couleur est magnifique, la qualité d'impression et top et l'adhésion au plateau est impressionnante. Je vous recommande largement ce PLA
