Don't hesitate to use Tough PLA for projects that require tapped threads and bolts - it can even be sanded and finished just as easily as regular PLA for presentation-ready parts.
PRO Series Tough PLA 3D printing filament is the best option for creating functional prototypes.
ANNEALING FOR MAXIMUM TOUGHNESS
While Tough PLA is already much stronger compared to regular PLA right off the printer, maximum strength and heat resistance can be achieved through the post-print annealing procedure. The easiest way to achieve this is by placing your print on a cookie sheet or other oven-safe surface and putting it in a conventional oven at a temperature range of 176-266°F (80-130°C) for 30-60 minutes. After this process is complete, carefully remove the print from the oven and allow it to cool back to room temperature.
PRO Series Tough PLA prints that have been annealed will demonstrate over 4 times the impact strength of standard PLA!

PLA, aka Polylactic Acid, is a multipurpose material commonly used in 3D printing. PLA is a bioplastic, which means it is made from renewable natural resources such as corn starch and tapioca products. As a biodegradable material, it is much better for the environment, especially compared to petrochemical-based alternatives. This product is a 1 Kg (2.2 lbs) spool of PRO Series Tough PLA filament. All PRO Series filament is vacuum sealed with desiccant for storage and freshness.

Quality Assurance: Why Filament Diameter and Ovality Matters
With PRO Series materials, you know you’re getting the most accurate filament diameter and ovality available. Having a consistent diameter of 3D printing filament is very important - it directly impacts the print quality of your designs. The slicing engine calculates the volume of filament that will be deposited on each layer. The critical value that is input into the slicing engine for that volume is the diameter of the material (either 1.75mm or 2.85mm). Therefore, any variation in that diameter can cause the print to over or under extrude. In terms of raw materials - the filament diameter is one that requires a high level of confidence that you KNOW what you’re using.
MatterHackers Maintains Diameter Tolerance In Every Spool using Laser Gauges
Since we know diameter matters, we obsess over ensuring that PRO Series materials are on the mark so you can create perfectly printed parts. MatterHackers uses two and three-axis laser systems to measure and maintain the accuracy of the filament diameter at 40 hertz (40 times per second) - that way we know the filament diameter is consistent and within our 0.02mm diameter tolerance guarantee. Not only that, but the data for each production run is recorded and stored so we have traceability on all PRO Series materials to establish further confidence in each batch we produce.
Vibrant Color Consistency You Can Rely On
Rest assured knowing that MatterHackers controls and actively analyzes the compounding and coloration of each filament batch, ensuring that your projects are the same from spool to spool. Color continuity between batches is controlled and confirmed with a color-analyzing spectrometer running in line during filament production. Your PRO Series filament will always be the same color PRO Series filament.

Questions
What is the difference between the MH PRO series TPU and the MH Build Series TPU?
I have had generally good luck with this material. I love the properties of it. I would like some advice on reducing some stringing. I use Prusa MK3S with the Generic FLEX setting. I get a big string from the purge line to the skirt and from the skirt to the print. I am using a 240 degree print temp and my speeds are all around 30.
Is this designed to be printed in a machine with a bowden extruder?
I ordered this material (Matter Hackers Pro Series, 1.75mm, TPU, Gray) for my Bambu Lab X1E printer. When I tried to load it into the AMS, it failed and got stuck. I needed to disassemble the filament tubing to get it unstuck. Is there something that could be done to use this material with the Bambu Lab X1E printer? Perhaps mounting it to the rear spool instead if in the AMS...? Do you have any experience with this material for this printer? Thank you. Brian Wixom brianwixom@gmail.com
I discovered that Metthackers pro clear TPU is easy to break, while the cheap inland white TPU is nearly impossible to break. So I don't get it, the NylonX is major strong and I use it as the backbone of everything, but I don't understand how a cheap filament, precisely inland white TPU, outperforms mettahackers pro series in utility function. It prints better, but I can make the cheap stuff print near perfect with extra attention to settings. So I ask, whats really up with mettahackers TPU, it concerns me because I was going to invest in Mettahackers Nylon and now I am in doubt. I simply want to know why the cheap stuff was way beter than mettahackers pro series?? Please.
Can this be used as a base, with a layer change/stop and then PLA printed on top of it? I want a flexible bottom to a specific print, but I don't want the entire print flexible...
What's the shore hardness?
What are temperature limits for printed parts?
How well do TPU printed objects hold up against gasoline and oils? Thinking about making an intake boot? I'd like it to hold around 100 psi. any recommendations?
What is the chemical resistance to water rating?
What is the Light Transmittance Rating of this material? This is a commonly reported property, usually expressed as % of total light transmittance. 100% = perfect clarity, all light crosses through 0% = perfect opacity, no light crosses through.
Where is the Safety Data Sheet?
1.7mm as delivered, which made it very prone to kinking. Not printable with the EZR Struder on an Ender 3, with any temperature or nozzle. 1.8mm & above seems necessary with flexible filament. Thicker is better because it needs to transfer force to the nozzle. It might work with a dual drive direct extruder with real tight passages.
What is the Young's modulus of the material
What is the moisture level it ships with?
The TDS says "Print Temp 230C +/-10" and "Bed Temp 70C +/-10". The images on this web page say "Hot End Temp 250C +/-10" and "Bed Temp 50C +/-10". Is this inconsistency a hallmark of the MH PRO series TPU???
