Step-by-Step Math: How We Calculate TPU 85A (Soft Flexible) Length

Exact formulas and linear density substitutions for TPU 85A (Soft Flexible) (1.18 g/cm³) on a Overture (Recycled Cardboard) spool.

Step 1: Subtract Empty Spool Tare Weight1000.0g net filament
Formula: W_net = W_total - W_tare
Calculation: 1150g - 150g = 1000.0g net filament

Deducting the verified 150g empty tare weight of the Overture (Recycled Cardboard) (Cardboard) spool leaves the exact net plastic mass.

Step 2: Calculate 1.75mm Cross-Sectional Area0.024053 cm²
Formula: A = π × (d / 20)²
Calculation: 3.14159 × (0.0875)² = 0.024053 cm²

Volumetric cross-sectional area in square centimeters for 1.75mm filament.

Step 3: Calculate Printable Length in Meters & Feet352.3m (1155.8ft)
Formula: L = W_net / (ρ × A × 100)
Calculation: 1000g / (1.18 g/cm³ × 0.024053 cm² × 100) = 352.3m (1155.8ft)

Dividing net mass by the linear density of TPU 85A (Soft Flexible) (1.18 g/cm³) yields the printable length.

Frequently Asked Questions: TPU 85A (Soft Flexible) on Overture (Recycled Cardboard)

Spool tare weight, density, moisture absorption, and kitchen scale tips.

Q1How much does an empty Overture (Recycled Cardboard) spool weigh?
An empty Overture (Recycled Cardboard) spool has a factory tare weight of 150 grams (Cardboard construction). Subtract this tare weight from your scale reading to get the exact net filament weight remaining.
Q2How many meters of filament are in a 1kg spool of TPU 85A (Soft Flexible)?
A full 1,000 gram spool of standard 1.75mm TPU 85A (Soft Flexible) (density 1.18 g/cm³) contains approximately 352.3 meters (1155.8 feet) of printable filament.
Q3Is the Overture (Recycled Cardboard) spool compatible with the Bambu AMS?
Overture (Recycled Cardboard) spools have a flange diameter of 200mm and width of 63mm. Because it is cardboard, we recommend snapping a 3D-printed plastic rim or electrical tape around the edges to prevent roller dust inside the AMS.
