Review on High-Quality Red TPU 3D Printing Filament With Dimensional Accuracy For Professional Results by Ben Jacobson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Having a fit with the print - not the material's fault my printer settings - FIXED IT

Let me be clear, printing TPU for the first time is not for the feint of heart. I've successfully printed a small model but so far larger items, not so successful. Going to take a bit of playing and tuning of the slicer and my Creality CR10 s5 to make it consistent. The material STICKS to the glass very well, almost too well - playing with my settings may help there. It seems to be good value for the money but only one I tried. I got ONE really nice print of a small sample only after several attempts. I'll get there, be nice if they had "suggested settings" for different printers. No retraction helps, slow speed as it will bunch up on you in the feed mechanism as you are pushing a wet noodle. Temp a little higher than pla to keep it flowingSlowed down the printing speed and that by itself did not help. Slowed down the X/Y axis movement speed to match seems to have done it. Before in larger print was getting a spiderweb effect for the projects, now it looks really sharp. There is a great youtube vid from Angus of Makers Muse that helped a lot.
