Review on 🖨️ Gizmo Dorks Flex-Filament Printers by Larry Morris

TPU with good performance at a good price

This is actually a really good filament, I just wanted to try TPU and it was one of the only test size reels available, but I'm very happy with its performance, especially since it's a lot cheaper than some of the others. I like the translucent red and it's easy to print. I have a flexible filament extruder drive that helps, but I've found it works very well at 210-215 and gives good, consistent print. Adhesion of the layer is excellent and although it can be a bit viscous it's actually not that bad, no worse than PETG and the results are great! I've made a few keychains out of it and it easily withstood the abuse of pickpockets. Cat toys are great, the only thing parrots don't like is half the fun of a toy is crunching it and TPU just springs back. When I've used up the sample roll I'll probably buy more. I look for excuses to use this stuff because it's so much fun!

Pros
  • Can print prototypes or 3D parts that need to be bent while keeping the original shape
Cons
  • Cord is shorter than other options
