ReForm rTPU 85A is the softest and most flexible rTPU filament in our ReForm rTPU product line. This recycled TPU filament is engineered for maximum elasticity and resilience and delivers an outstanding balance between durability, flexibility, and printability.
ReForm rTPU 85A is ideal for producing shock-absorbing, abrasion resistant, and highly elastic 3D printed parts. Even under continuous mechanical stress and long term use, your prints will remain strong, flexible, and reliable.
The Sustainable Choice in TPU 3D Printing Filaments
ReForm rTPU 85A is manufactured using almost 100% post industrial recycled TPU, sourced responsibly from
European chemical industries. By reclaiming overproduction, off grade materials, and production waste, and
enhancing them with tailored additives, we deliver a high performance recycled TPU filament optimized for 3D
printing applications.
This makes ReForm rTPU 85A the ecological friendly alternative to virgin TPU filaments, delivering the same
premium quality while reducing environmental impact.

General printing guidelines *
| Nozzle size: ≥ 0.15mm | Layer height: ≥ 0.1mm | Adhesive: EasyFix Nr. I |
| Print temp: ± 220 – 250° C * | Fan speed: 30 – 100% | Experience level: Beginner |
| Heat bed: ± 60 – 80° C * | Enclosure: Not necessary | Drying: 24 hours @ ~50-70°C |
*) Above displayed settings are meant as guidance to find your optimal print settings. These ranges in settings should work for most printers, but please do feel free to experiment outside these ranges if you think it is suitable for your printer. There are a lot of different type of printers, hot-ends and printer offsets that it is extremely difficult to give an overall one-size-fits-all setting.
*)When using high speed printing, the above displayed settings will likely need to be adjusted accordingly.

Storage and handling
Filament should be stored at room temperature in a dry and dark place with humidity below 15%. Recommended storage temperature is ca. 18-25°C (64.4 -77.0°F). Keep out of moisture, sunlight and direct heat. When stored properly, product has a shelf life of 24 months. To obtain the best parameters of the printed object, it is recommended to dry the material prior to usage and to 3D print it directly from a dry box.
