HATCHBOX TPU 3D Printer Filament: Optimal Additive Manufacturing Solution Review

This was the very first flexible thread I tried. It prints well after typing and was relatively easy to set up. I'm using it on a modified FT-5 (Titan Aero + Vulkan) with a thickness of 0.4mm and a 0.8mm nozzle and it works great. Adheres well to cold glass with Aquanet. Ensures very durable, flexible models. Layer adhesion is excellent as with most TPU filaments. Even a layer or two thick makes the bond nearly impossible to break. Hatchbox is a great filament brand in general. I have been…

I was amazed that every first print came out fine with my PLA default settings. And that on a 3D printer with a Bowden extruder (FlSun Kossel Delta). Of course you won't be able to print with it as fast as with PLA if you print with a Bowden tube. My settings were 10mm/s perimeter and 40mm/s infill. It is also recommended to set the extrusion value to 5.10% higher than normal. The part you see in my photos was made with my usual PLA settings (210°C nozzle, 70°C layer - Kapton tape on aluminum…

While Hatchbox is definitely a budget manufacturer, I've been fortunate to have had almost exclusively positive experiences with their PLA filaments. When I decided to switch to TPU, the price and availability were right. to me. Like all Hatchbox threads I've purchased, they came in a very well sealed pouch with a large sachet of silica gel. The winding seems good (this was my only previous issue with the hatchbox), I haven't noticed any moisture issues, and it feeds well into the Micro Swiss…
