eSun eTPU LW 1.75mm 0.75kg – Lightweight Foaming TPU for Aircraft & Cosplay
eSun eTPU LW (Lightweight) is an innovative foaming flexible filament that expands during printing to create ultra-lightweight, shock-absorbing parts. With 95A shore hardness and up to 30% density reduction through foaming, this filament is perfect for RC aircraft, drones, and cosplay props where weight matters.
The active foaming technology creates micro-cells within the material, reducing weight while maintaining the flexibility and durability TPU is known for. Excellent for large props, aircraft components, and protective padding.
eSun eTPU LW Key Features
- Active Foaming – Expands during printing for low density
- Up to 30% Lighter – Significant weight reduction
- 95A Shore Hardness – Semi-flexible, durable
- Shock Absorbing – Excellent impact protection
- Matte Finish – Natural foam texture
- Large Parts Friendly – Great for big, lightweight prints

eSun eTPU LW FAQ
Q: Why is my print overextruding with eTPU LW?
A: The foaming causes expansion. Reduce flow rate to 50-65% to compensate. Higher temperatures require lower flow rates.
Q: Can I use eTPU LW on a Bowden printer?
A: Direct drive is strongly recommended. Bowden setups will struggle with the flexible, foaming material.
Q: How do I control the foam amount?
A: Temperature is the main control. Print at 220°C for minimal foam (denser, stronger) or 260°C for maximum foam (lightest weight).
