Red is the TPU to use when a soft part carries a message: stop buttons, warning bumpers, pull tabs and anything an operator should find in a hurry. It behaves like the rest of the Creality flexible range, stretching under load and recovering instead of cracking, so parts survive a working life that would finish a rigid print. The pigment stays strong through thick and thin walls alike, which matters on small features where weaker colours look washed out. Keep the spool dry between jobs and a kilogram will see out a long series of short production runs.
