OVERTURE TPU High Speed Filament 1.75mm 1kg - Fast Flexible TPU

Our review looks at the OVERTURE High Speed TPU 95A 1.75mm spool and its appeal to makers who need a flexible filament that prints faster than typical TPU. The bottom line: this filament is for hobbyists and small shops that want a reliable, mostly clog-free TPU with good layer adhesion and the convenience of a dried, vacuum-sealed spool. The single biggest reason to buy is the balance of a fairly soft Shore 95A feel with improved print speed and a formulation aimed at minimizing clogs and bubbles.

Key Features

• Rapid 95A TPU: Prints up to five times faster than ordinary TPU options, saving time on flexible parts without sacrificing printability.
• Shore 95A hardness: Provides a blend of softness and resilience that works well for functional prototypes and wearable components.
• Excellent layer adhesion: Optimized for consistent layer bonding so prints show smooth surfaces and reliable interlayer strength.
• Clog-free, bubble-free formula: Patented processing reduces nozzle clogs and trapped gas, improving run time stability across multiple days of printing.
• Pre-dried and vacuum-sealed: Each spool is dried for 24 hours and packaged with resealable foil to preserve filament quality until use.
• Wide printer compatibility: Works with most consumer and industrial FDM machines that accept 1.75mm flexible filament.

Who It's For

The OVERTURE High Speed TPU is aimed at experienced hobbyists, designers and small production shops that need faster turnaround on flexible parts and appreciate good layer adhesion. It is a particularly good choice when you want a material that resists clogging and prints reliably across different printer models.

Those who need ultra-soft, highly elastic rubber-like materials or specialized TPU grades for extreme flexibility may want to look for a lower Shore hardness. Beginners who have not dialed in flexible filament settings should be prepared to tune retraction and speed despite the filament's clog-resistant design.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Consistent print quality with strong layer adhesion, producing smooth finished surfaces.
• Faster printing speeds than typical TPU, reducing job time for flexible parts.
• Pre-dried and vacuum-sealed packaging helps prevent moisture-related print issues.
• Patented formula reduces clogs and bubbles for longer uninterrupted prints.

Cons

• Shore 95A is not the softest TPU available, so extremely flexible applications may feel firmer than expected.
• Some users report mixed impressions of flexibility and durability, so testing for specific end-use strength is recommended.

It represents good value for users needing a resilient, pre-dried 1.75mm TPU spool, though those requiring extreme softness should consider a lower Shore rating.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this filament need drying before use?
It is pre-dried for 24 hours and vacuum-sealed, but long storage may require drying for >8 hours at 65 C for optimal performance.

Will it work on my FDM printer?
Yes, it is formulated to be compatible with most consumer and industrial printers that accept 1.75mm TPU filament.

How flexible is Shore 95A?
Shore 95A balances softness and resilience; it is flexible for many applications but not as soft as lower Shore TPU grades.
