Fingers crossed. Seems to be printing fine. Shiny with some stringing. Used Cura generic presets for TPU-95, whatever that is. Higher nozzle temperature (228F) but lower bed temperature (45) than PLA (205/65)

Decent compliance, rather stiff at normal resolution printing with 60% infill. I bet I could get much wider range by messing with infill density. But clearly settings need work. But unlike PETG this feels different enough as a material, it’s worth mastering.

Well finished printing a set of sample things. This comes out looking like the work of a deranged spider like in LOTR. Doesn’t have to. I’ve seen videos of clean TPU prints. Just have to figure out settings.

Ok trying this dude’s settings now. His main thing is increasing the flow rate by 30% and lowering the speed to like a third, from 50mm/s to 18. Can already tell it’s working way better. Impressed. I gotta try this stunt with PETG too.

Wait is this just regular PLA printed with certain settings that makes it flexible?

much more finicky material, but this guy has it figured out so I'm just copying his settings

I'm interested to see your results. I have a project for my drone where I need to use TPU but haven't gotten around to it yet
