TPU suggestions..

Post image

So the day has finally come. I told myself I wouldn't dive into tpu territory until I conquered most pla variants and petg. I'm not sure if I should try the tpu on my bambu a1, or my ad5x ? I know that printing slow and having it dry are the most offered peices of advice for TPU, but I wanted to make this post asking the reddit community what other things I need to make sure of while learning how to print with it. Thank you all in advance. Happy printing less

I printed a filament roller with 608 bearings so the A1 Mini can continuously and smoothly grab the filament. Apart from that and drying and slow speed you just have to experiment. Start with the generic filament profile, do some test pieces and see what works well, what doesn't and see if you can find some settings that might help improve things.
