TPU Printing Ideas - eviltoast

Hey folks! Today I got my first spool of TPU. I was quite excited to replace the cap of a controller’s joystick. But now I am looking for ideas what to print next.

…I was expecting more of a “rubber-ish” feel, when I ordered TPU. It’s a lot more sleek? than I expected. Or is that, because I ordered transparent “High Speed TPU”?

edit: Forgot to mention it’s 95A

    Yep. 95A can be printed fast which is why it’s probably called a “high speed TPU”.

    Neptune 3 is direct drive so you should be fine for ninjaflex. It’ll take some tuning though because every printer reacts differently to it. Good luck!

    Some ideas that work good in tpu:

    • a tool or pencil holder with little clips that your tools set into- tpu flexibility makes this great
    • a compliant phone stand that clips around your phone
    • an open honeycomb stress ball fidget… thing (I dunno just spit balling here lol)
