Overture TPU 95A Flexible 3D Printer Filament 1.75 mm 1 kg Grey: problems, parts and running costs
Checked: 2026-10-23
Summary
Overture TPU 95A is a 1.75 mm, 1 kg flexible filament that prints reliably on direct-drive printers at 20-40 mm/s but brings the usual TPU cautions: stringing on travel-heavy models, feeding problems on poorly constrained Bowden paths, and moisture damage if stored open. At manufacturer direct prices of $22.99 to $29.99 per kg it is competitively priced for standard TPU, with value depending on feed-path design.
Common problems and fixes
- AMS and automatic feeding not supported — the filament is not compatible with AMS or AMS lite, so multi-material automatic feeding is unavailable. [1][5]
- 30-day hassle-free return — Overture advertises a 30-day hassle-free return guarantee; no warranty on printed-part performance is stated in the sources read. [1]
Parts and consumables
No replaceable parts or consumables reported.
Yearly running cost
Not enough data to compute a yearly figure. Ownership costs noted in the sources include drying electricity, desiccant, a possible release layer such as glue stick on smooth or satin build plates, and trial prints. [5]
When it is a good buy
Manufacturer direct: Matte Black at $22.99, other colors up to $29.99 (Overture, 2026); SpoolScout lists Black at $23.99 and White or Digital Blue at $22.99 (SpoolScout, 2026). At $22.99 to $29.99 per kg this is competitively priced for standard TPU. [1][3] For larger parts or repeated batches, the separate High Speed TPU 95A formulation is the better choice; for occasional small flexible parts, standard TPU is the more appropriate choice. [5]
