ANYCUBIC TPU Filament for ACE, 1.75mm, 68D, 1kg, Black
Product description
For makers who need flexible filament for protective or functional parts, ANYCUBIC’s 68D TPU is aimed at projects where a firmer feel and resistance to wear matter. It is designed for use with the ACE 2 Pro and is also listed as compatible with most FDM 3D printers, making printer and material settings important considerations before starting a job.
The black filament comes in a 1kg amount on a reusable spool. Its stated applications include drone protection, tool grips, RC tires, vibration dampers, wearable accessories, and electronic cases.
Who it’s for
This filament is intended for prints that need some flexibility without the softer feel associated with more elastic TPU. The stated 68D Shore hardness is positioned for parts that need to hold their shape and handle friction or impacts, such as a grip or protective bumper. It may also suit makers planning multi-material parts: the manufacturer describes bonding with PLA, PETG, and other materials to create integrated components rather than separate pieces that need to be assembled afterward.
A solid pick if you want a black TPU for functional parts and your setup can use the filament’s recommended settings. It may not suit you if your project specifically calls for a softer, more elastic TPU feel. The listed compatible-material claims do not replace checking that your printer and print workflow support the combination you intend to use.

Why it’s worth it
The main distinction is its firmer 68D formulation. Compared with a more elastic TPU approach, this is presented as a better fit for parts that need shape retention, impact resistance, and wear resistance. Those traits are relevant for functional prints that see repeated handling or contact, though the result will still depend on the part design and print settings.
The listing also describes reduced stringing and feathering, plus an integrated chip for filament identification and automatic preset loading. Those features are intended to simplify setup with supported equipment. For a practical use case, a maker could print a protective drone part or an anti-slip tool grip, using the recommended temperature and speed ranges as a starting point. The product description also identifies multi-material printing with PLA or PETG as a use, but does not specify which printer configurations support every combination.
Buying verdict
Choose this ANYCUBIC filament if you need 1.75-millimeter TPU with a firmer 68D profile for functional or protective prints, especially if ACE 2 Pro use and multi-material projects are relevant to your setup. Its stated settings provide a useful starting point, while the broad FDM compatibility claim does not guarantee identical behavior across every printer. If the part calls for a distinctly softer, more elastic material, a lower-hardness TPU would be a closer match. For other projects, the decision comes down to whether the added firmness suits the part better than a more flexible filament.
