Review on Optimizing Precision: Unveiling YOYI Flexible Filament with Enhanced Diameter Tolerance by David Lesperance

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Unique TPU color that prints well!

I've been buying more and more filament from YOYI lately and for the most part I'm completely satisfied; I've bought a couple of PETG spools from them which had very sloppy windings on the spool, but I've had no issues with the spools sticking/tangling. Thread and again I was satisfied. The windings on both spools were set up cleanly with even tension and I had no issues with flow or traction. I used this thread on my Flashforge Creator Pro for a while but the rest of my TPU print was on my JGAurora A5S. , which has a 1mm nozzle. I just used my "General TPU Settings" in my slicers and haven't had any issues with any of the printers. I would like to point out that my Creator Pro is a direct drive extrusion system while my JGAurora uses a Bowden style extrusion system. Therefore, this filament also prints well with the right Bowden setting. For reference, here are some of my settings: Flashforge Creator Pro, 0.4mm nozzles Nozzle temp: 210 degrees Celsius Bed temp: 40 degrees Celsius Base speed: 20 mm/s Travel speed: 200 mm/s Flow: 120% Retract Disabled (currently) Layer Height: 0.2-0.25mm with initial layer height of 0.3mm JGAurora A5S, 1mm nozzle Nozzle Temperature: 220 degrees Celsius Bed Temperature: 45 to 70 degrees Celsius depending on print size XY base speed: 12mm/s Feed speed: 300mm/sec * I suspect the machine is actually moving at around 250mm/sec. Flow: 150% Retraction: 8 mm at 20 mm/sec. Layer height: from 0.4 mm to 0.5 mm with an initial layer height of 0.5 mm. I hope my settings help. ! Since I've had these, I've been printing with TPU more often since it's such a physically strong compound. For a nice colorful touch, this vibrant coral thread gets the job done!

Pros
  • High print quality
Cons
  • Disappearing
