The eLastic TPE-83A filament from eSUN is perfect for applications such as functional models with flexibility and elasticity. The printed objects have a unique, soft feel with low surface friction and a matte look. Due to the mechanical properties of the material, the products are extremely impact-resistant and robust. Compared to other eSUN flexible series the printed models are softer than TPU-95A and eFlex, with delicate and soft hand feeling.

Notes
- it is recommended to dry the filament (55℃/> 4h) before printing to achieve the best printing effect, and it would be better to use together with a drybox when printing.
- use a short-range double-wheel deceleration extruder designed for flexibility. eLastic materials cannot be printed by a remote extruder
- After long print runs, impurities may form in the nozzle, so it is recommended to use it with a cleaning filament. If necessary, please replace the nozzle and throat with new ones.
