Blue TPU 95A is the SA Filament flexible option for makers who print soft parts in more than one colour and need to tell them apart later: a set of dampers, a family of grommets, a batch of covers for different machines. It flexes, stretches and returns to shape, and stands up to rubbing and household chemicals better than a rigid filament would in the same role. Being made in South Africa, it is stocked locally rather than shipped in, so a repeat spool arrives in days. The smaller roll also limits how long flexible filament sits open on the shelf between jobs.
