Review on πŸ”§ Enhanced Filament Vacuum with Flexible Dimensional Accuracy by Shawn Jimenez

Revainrating 5 out of 5

As long as the floss works well

When I bought this floss, all the Revain reviews were about the cleaning floss, not flexible TPU. (Revain should be selling these with separate reviews as they are entirely different threads.) So given the lack of reviews I really took a chance with this thread. However, the 2kg spool was a lot cheaper than anything else I could find, so I took a chance. I'm somewhere between beginner and pro, but this is my first attempt at flexible printing. I heard typing can be difficult. I've watched a few videos. I lowered my print speed to about 65% of normal, turned offset off, and used a layer height of 0.18. So far I've only printed a small detail, but it's turned out pretty well, I've had no problems. It should be noted that according to the product description, this thread can be stretched up to 3 times its normal length. That statement is a big stretch (ha). This TPU has good flexibility but not very elastic. You probably won't stretch it more than 1.2 times its original length unless you're printing an elastic. TPU is the same material used for my flexible phone case (I love cases like this), you may be familiar with them. I wanted to give this review as there aren't any. I'll update if I come across anything else, good or bad. Have fun.

Pros
  • 1 spool of TPU + cleaning floss as a gift 20 g
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
