Prusa MK4 — TPU 82A

⚙ Prusa MK4 Tested 2025
4/5
Notes
MK4 direct drive is excellent for soft TPU. Go slow and results are great. 82A shore — extremely soft, gel-like.
Tips
Slowest of all TPU grades. Disable all retraction. Even 20mm/s may cause jams with 82A — start at 15mm/s. Layer height 0.3mm reduces layer count and jam risk.
