Prusa MK4 — TPU 87A

⚙ Prusa MK4 Tested 2025
4/5
Notes
MK4 direct drive is excellent for soft TPU. Go slow and results are great. 87A shore — very soft, excellent flex.
Tips
Disable retraction entirely. Print very slowly. The softer the TPU, the slower you must go. Watch for "spaghetti" on overhangs — 87A sags more than 95A.
