Selected job
Bend and sealIt has to give
Gaskets, grips, bumpers, hinges and anything that needs to return to shape.
Grades that fit
3 grades can hold it.
The same catalogue read along the job: each grade with its heat deflection, its chamber requirement and the thing to watch when printing it.
| Grade | Family | Heat deflection | Chamber | Watch out |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TPU 95A | TPU | — | Not required | Retraction is the enemy. Keep it under 1 mm and print slow before you print pretty. |
| TPU 85A | TPU | — | Not required | Buckles in the extruder above roughly 20 mm/s. Bowden setups are not worth attempting. |
| PA12 | Nylon | 111 °C | 45 °C | Softer and more flexible than most people expect. Design for deflection, not for rigidity. |
The properties on this page are values published in the named manufacturers' data sheets, measured on their grades to the standard printed against each row — not measurements of a ZORVA spool. Use them to compare material classes, not as an acceptance specification.

TPU 95A
Graphite
The default flexible. Grips, feet, seals — most TPU work starts here.
TPU 95A
Arrival Lime
High-visibility flexible for bumpers and wear indicators.
TPU 85A
Natural
Uncoloured, so it can be dyed — and so you can see the weld between layers.
PA12
Natural
Unfilled and undyed. Dye it after printing, or leave it as the classic nylon off-white.
