Summary
A 1.75 mm, 1 kg spool of 95A TPU for direct-drive 3D printers, sold in 19 colors including Grey. Check your feed path and moisture control before buying: Bowden setups and humid storage are the two things that turn this filament into a jam.
Strengths
- Forgiving TPU for direct-drive printers at 20-40 mm/s.
- Useful flexibility without being overly soft.
- Good layer bonding on functional parts.
- Good bed grip on textured plates.
- Consistent diameter tolerance across long prints.
- Manufacturer states oil resistance for gaskets and seals.
Weaknesses
- Stringing on travel-heavy models.
- Blobs when printed too hot.
- Feeding problems and jams on poorly constrained Bowden systems.
- Moisture degradation after exposure to humid air.
- AMS and automatic feeding not supported.
- Drying before printing is commonly needed.

Full research notes and sources
Printing and temperature conflicts
The product page and the July 2024 TDS disagree on the working window. Nozzle temperature is 210-240 °C on the store page versus 210-230 °C in the TDS; bed temperature is 35-50 °C versus 25-60 °C; printing speed is listed as under 250 mm/s on the store page versus 20-40 mm/s in the TDS; drying is 7 hours versus 8 hours. Treat the TDS figures as the safer starting point and the store-page speed as a marketing number, not a proven capability.
Feed path and moisture
Direct drive is the recommended starting point; Bowden users should expect more tuning and may see jams on poorly constrained feed paths. TPU absorbs atmospheric moisture, so drying at 70 °C and sealed storage with desiccant are recommended. Owner reports describe popping sounds and rough surfaces after humid exposure. The manufacturer specifies a 1-year shelf life for unopened spools with proper storage.
Manufacturer direct pricing is $22.99 for Matte Black and up to $29.99 for other colors (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. Value depends on printer feed-path design: direct drive is the recommended starting point, and Bowden users should expect more tuning. The separate High Speed TPU 95A formulation is the alternative for larger parts or repeated batches, though its speed range does not guarantee a proportional reduction in total print time. For occasional small flexible parts, standard TPU is the more appropriate choice. Ownership costs include drying electricity, desiccant, a possible release layer such as glue stick on smooth or satin build plates, and trial prints.
Which model this is
This page covers the standard Overture TPU 95A Flexible 3D Printer Filament, 1.75 mm, 1 kg, Grey, from Overture 3D Technologies LLC in Houston, Texas. It is the standard TPU 95A formulation; Overture also sells a separate High Speed TPU 95A with a different speed range. Grey is one of the color options in the line. No model number or mechanical revision is documented in the sources read; the TDS used is version 5.1 dated July 2024. The Amazon listing for this product is ASIN B0991R9427. Do not confuse it with the High Speed TPU 95A formulation.
