Review on ๐Ÿ–จ SainSmart TPU Filament 1: Unleashing Top-Quality Additive Manufacturing Product by James Roper

Revainrating 3 out of 5

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 and tried to clean the first one and eventually managed to do a single print, a repeat of my Pla test model but in TPU. This was my only success with a half TPU reel. may be a bad product but I won't be buying TPU again in the near future. Beginners like me should stay on the PLA side. My only regret is that I didn't understand the difference between TPU and PLA before purchasing.
