Review on πŸ”„ TPU Filament 1: Your Go-to Additive Manufacturing Product and 3D Printing Supply Solution by Jamie Rogers

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I want to give more than 1 star but it's too frustrating! REVISION

I will complete my previous review. It prints well when dry and doesn't stay dry for long out of the box. We're talking about the MAXIMUM 24 hours, and I think that's even an overestimate. My other TPUs didn't have this problem. First review: I was already halfway through the blue spool and only needed to finish one print. With a direct drive setup, the extruder has almost no clearance between the drive gear and the orifice, and yet it just pulls out and doesn't extrude. No clogs, just streaks on the gears. I work in vase mode so there is no pull back and I was able to print Ninja Flex with the same setup with no issues. I even unwound the filament from the spool and left just the right amount of filament hanging from the extruder for less drag, but even that didn't help at about 90% of the print. Now I'm pinning stuff with 2 more coils. I'll stick with Sainsmart or look at Revain Basics next time.

Pros
  • Flexible filament is not suitable for all 3D printers. Please check the specifications of your printer before ordering. It is better to use a short reach extruder
Cons
  • No instructions
