not for merging

The filament arrived quickly and was well packaged in a sealed bag with desiccant on . I liked the color and it matched the description. This is where the good ends. I've tried the manufacturer's recommendations for settings, as well as other reviewers' recommendations, and then played around with my own a bit, and I've basically failed to get them to stick to the bed or even to itself. The only thing it's sure to stick to is my fingers. The print speed (if you can get a half stick) is very…

Pros
  • With the right TPU settings it's easy to print due to the excellent adhesion to the layer and the filament's tendency not to warp
Cons
  • Requires an electrical outlet

Small tutorial

I ordered a red TPU for Christmas along with 3rd party PLA for my new Ender 3, I received my Ender before work on Christmas Eve and was able to use it photograph was for a test print, I of course used the free pla sample with no errors after leveling the bed. Then I started using SAINSMART Red TPU, it was a disaster. TPU clogged my first nozzle which led me to YouTube to find out what I was doing wrong, it took completely different temperature and speed settings. So I switched to the backup jet

Pros
  • Compatible with all FDM printers on the market that accept 1.75mm filament; Including Prusa i3, Monoprice MakerSelect, SainSmart xCreality and other RepRap printers
Cons

Good thread but with a twist. literally.

I love this thread. I usually use Inland from Microcenter, but it seems they recently switched suppliers and the new PLA isn't as good as what they had before.

It is smooth. It's pretty much true to size. BUT. It seems to have flair. It's like it's coming from a twisted coil. And with my roller bearing spool…
