Bring Variety to Your Prints

Having never printed TPU before, I had read all of the warnings of poor adhesion, poor extrusion, poor print quality, etc. but thought that the price was not too big a barrier. Using a model that I know prints well in PLA and PETG, I tried this Hatchbox TPU. I decided to use my printer with direct drive and will update if I ever try in my Bowden printer. I swapped the PLA out, fed this TPU, and printed the file with adjustments to temperature and slowing it down quite a bit (15mm/sec). The final result was a great print that people are surprised is flexible! Will be printing more with this TPU and will print pictures as I have them. Would definitely recommend if you are thinking about trying flexible materials for printing.

Pros
  • Can be used to print hinges and mechanical parts
Cons
  • May require additional time for printing and post-processing
