SA Filament’s TPU 95A in red is a flexible filament made in South Africa, sold on a half-kilogram spool that is easier to commit to than a full roll when you are testing a soft design for the first time. Red parts stay legible in an assembly and hold their colour through flexing and handling. The material stretches, absorbs impact and springs back, making it a fit for straps, bumpers, seals and anything that has to survive being dropped. Local manufacture means a replacement spool is a courier away rather than an import, which counts when a run stops halfway.
