Are you looking for Colorfabb Varioshore TPU in Australia?
Colorfabb has taken TPU… and made it special by using the same foaming technology we debuted with LW-PLA. Colorfabbs varioShore TPU has a few main distinctive features: its variable shore hardness reduced weight and density and soft touch. varioShore TPU allows users to vary the density of the material by adjusting temperature and material throughput (speed & layer height). At temperatures between 200 and 250C the materials will start to expand to roughly 1.4-1.6 times its original volume. This means the material can be printed at low flow rates (60-70%), to compensate for the active foaming, which in return gives very soft printed parts. Between 190-200C the material can be printed without foaming, resulting in different haptics and harder prints compared to foamed samples.
Pros
- Light Weight
- Soft Touch
- Prosthetics
Cons
- color variations may occur. Color will turn lighter when the material is at maximum foamed state as opposed to non-foamed state which shows a deeper and richer color.
This is what our customers are saying about this material:
-“…Must have material for RC planes! Light, easy to print, can cut and trim, too”
-"...LW-PLA, it’s perhaps the most ingenious 3D printer filament on the market."
-“…So far I have used this for cosplay and the weight reduction is amazing”
-“...This filament creates strong, lightweight parts with great surface finish and it sands very well (better than normal PLA)”
-“…I've been using this filament for various decorative prints to be worn, and the weight reduction is a real advantage!”
-..”Ideal for Drone replacement parts”
Colorfabb are the OG in premium and unique filaments and offers innovative and functional 3D printing filaments for niche applications.

- Diameter Tolerance: ± 0.1 mm
- Density: 1,2-1,3 g/cm3
- Glass Transition Temperature: -20C
Printing Advice
- Adviced 3D printing temperature 190C-250C
- Adviced 3d print speed 20-30 mm/s
- Advised Heated bed 20-40C
- Cooling fan - Use the least amount of cooling when maximum foaming is required. For better overhang performance use 50-100% cooling. We advise our community to use standard TPU settings as a base setting for developing your own pre-sets. Make sure the distance between nozzle and platform is not to small, especially if the material is being foamed while printing, the pressure will need to be released from the hot-end to prevent clogging and feeder issues.
