Our TPU fursuit head bases are designed for makers seeking a lightweight, flexible foundation for their fursuit projects. Crafted from transparent TPU filament (thermoplastic polyurethane), which is a semi-rigid yet pliable material that offers natural flexibility while maintaining structural integrity, making it ideal for creating a fursuit head that moves with you!
Material Features:
High-Quality TPU – Known for its elasticity, resilience, and transparency, this filament produces fursuit head bases that are strong yet slightly compressible, allowing for a more comfortable wear experience.
Recyclable & Eco-Friendly – TPU is a recyclable material, making it a sustainable choice for makers who want to minimize waste.
Soft Yet Durable – Unlike rigid resin or PLA bases, TPU flexes slightly under pressure, helping reduce strain on the wearer during long fursuiting sessions.
Transparent Composition – While not a visual requirement for finished suits, the transparent nature of the material allows for unique lighting effects or creative integrations if desired.
Supplementing with Foam for Comfort:
Due to the nature of TPU, proper padding is essential for both comfort and fit. We strongly recommend supplementing the interior of the head base with at least 1 inch of soft foam. This foam should be strategically placed along key pressure points (such as the forehead, cheeks, and chin areas) to ensure a snug yet comfortable fit. Without adequate padding, the base may feel loose or cause pressure in certain areas due to its flexibility. For additional support, some makers also integrate EVA foam or soft fabric linings to create a smooth, cushioned interior that conforms to the wearer’s head shape.
Texture & Finishing Considerations:
Each TPU head base is printed using a specialized process that prioritizes strength and efficiency. As a result, some areas of the base may have a slightly rough texture. This is completely normal and will not affect the final appearance once fur and padding are applied. When covered in fur and finished into a complete fursuit head, these slight textural variations become virtually undetectable.
Additionally, TPU’s slight surface roughness in some spots can actually improve adhesion when gluing on fur, providing a stronger bond compared to ultra-smooth surfaces.
Why Choose a TPU Head Base?
Ideal for Fursuiters Who Want a Lightweight Option – TPU bases are light, making them an excellent choice for those who prioritize comfort.
Flexible Yet Sturdy – TPU’s unique properties allow for natural movement without the risk of cracking, making it ideal for expressive fursuit heads.
Perfect for Both Beginners and Experienced Makers – Whether you're making your first fursuit or you’re an experienced crafter, TPU head bases provide a versatile foundation that can be easily customized.
With its lightweight design, durability, and flexibility, our TPU fursuit head bases provide an innovative alternative to traditional head bases. Pair it with quality padding, fur, and your creative touch to bring your character to life!
