Ultrafuse® TPU 64D: The Toughest Elastomer in BASF Forward AM’s Flexible Range
Ultrafuse® TPU 64D stands out as the most robust elastomer within BASF Forward AM's flexible product offerings. This material offers a unique combination of high rigidity and flexibility, making it ideal for industrial applications that demand durable parts resistant to impact, wear, and tear. It serves as a versatile alternative to traditional ABS and rubber components.
Product Overview
Ultrafuse® TPU 64D merges strength with flexibility, making it an exceptional filament for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) across all FFF technologies. Leveraging BASF's extensive expertise in flexible materials, this filament is crafted from Elastollan, a renowned thermoplastic polyurethane known for its reliability, consistent quality, and cost-effectiveness. It is easily compatible with water-soluble supports, providing an excellent substitute for rubber and ABS in the production of tools, jigs, and fixtures.
This filament is user-friendly for both direct drive and Bowden-style printers and works seamlessly with soluble BVOH support, facilitating the creation of intricate geometries. Additionally, Ultrafuse® TPU 64D is made from food-safe raw materials compliant with the European Plastics Regulation for food contact applications.

Questions
This material seems to have terrible warping through our e3d volcano extruder when printing at lowest temperatures and max fan, is this material especially sensitive to chamber temperature and/or humidity? Cheap amazon PLA's don't seem to have any of the same issues...
In addition to my previous question, what is the diameter of the reel?
Whats the print settings of PRO PLA vs normal PLA? 1. I see your suggested settings of 235°C (assuming nozzle, all layers); This seems high over other 'normal PLA', the Prusa PLA i just took off my machine ran good at 205-210. BUT i did notice your BUILD series PLA states [205±15°C]. So pro just needs to run hotter? 2. Suggested setting says "Print speed 15mm/s" - That seems VERY slow in comparison to Prusa generic PLA I was just running. Again, I checked your BUILD series PLA to compare... nothing is listed, can you provide some more finely tuned print settings? Problem; off the batt with a new 5lb spool this stuff is printing pretty accurately from what I can tell but is VERY stringy. I'm about to test some higher temps and will report back.
Am now using my 2# Robo3D Carbon PLA. My carbon fill nylon should be kept dry. How much must I desicate all my PLA filaments? Have lefdt PLA filaments out for some time with no apparent bad effects.
what are the dimensions on M4S8S7TT? Spool diameter, width, true shipping weight?
What is the spool thickness on these 10lb reels? Want to make sure the holder I make can fit these on it. Also, what is the hole diameter in the reel?
Does this shrink less than the standard PLA when cooling? I don't see any mention of this specifically?
What's the tare weight of the spool?
