Know what to expect

This does NOT look like normal flexible TPU. It's MUCH more flexible. You MUST make sure your printer is set to print VERY flexible filament. I have two Bowden tube printers and I'm getting great results with a simple change in the extruder feed path. A piece of Bowden cable a few millimeters long with a V-notch at one end is sufficient. A small gap between the extruder drive and the Bowden cable leading to the printer remains to be eliminated. I just let the short tube hover over the drive wheel. I need to increase the feed rate to 1.2 and print SLOWLY. maybe 20mm/s. Good smooth results on bare glass as it sticks very well to a warm bed. I use temperatures between 50 and 65 degrees Celsius. My only complaint: very expensive for a 0.5kg roll. For some reason they use a LARGER spool than the standard 1kg spool. (Mostly empty and too big to fit in a 1 gallon ziplock bag. I've noticed that a couple of rolls I've received will never fit in a vacuum bag and print perfectly, so I'm guessing the humidity at this is not a factor... Prints Understand that this is NOT like normal TPU, it is a special filament for a very specific use.
