Review on ๐Ÿ–จ๏ธ 1 TPU Filament: High-quality Additive Manufacturing Supplies for 3D Printing by Sam Duppa

Revainrating 3 out of 5

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

Check 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
  • Recommended print temperature/nozzle temperature: 195ยฐC - 220ยฐC Base/builder temperature: 40-60ยฐC Print speed: 20-35 mm/s
Cons
  • Not bad, but...
