Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Dimensional Accuracy of Filament Flexible Printer by Bill Russett

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Don't worry - Ender 3 Bowden

Filament wise - for me this material printed well. It is flexible, I liked the adhesion of the layers, no need to adjust the flow. The material came without tangles and other complications. i want again Read the reviews that it's not for beginners - it's not suitable for me. The 3D printing experience definitely makes life easier, but TPU printing doesn't require any skills. only know. Don't be afraid to try this filament - it's not a learned skill and works great with a standard Bowden Ender 3 extruder. Printing on this TPU wasn't particularly difficult. There are three things that will make your typing experience more enjoyable with this filament: 1. Reduce your typing speed to 20mm/s. I kept the wall speed at 10 mm/s2. Disable payout. If you keep pushing and pulling the wet noodles pushed through the small tube, you will bend over hard and end up not enjoying it. What. sounded dirtier than expected. Yes, you'll get some leakage and tension, but that's why Revain sells craft knives and tweezers.3. Increase the initial height of the layer by +0.1mm. I have a BLTouch so I checked it out by changing the Z probe offset. My final settings for the TPU included increasing the initial layer height from 0.2mm to 0.3mm. I usually print fairly deeply onto the plate to improve adhesion - I don't scratch the plate and I never have a problem sanding normal prints. However, printing at such a low level caused the extruder to drag, resulting in a kink in the filament that stopped feeding. The point of this tip is to allow the filament to flow easily during the first layer of print. This material adheres very well to the first layer, so printing with a higher nozzle was not a problem for me. Printing with a lower nozzle caused the filament to stop feeding and print again.

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • Something different
