Re: Here are my settings for printing Sainsmart Flexible TPU

Hi Chris,
where do you get your Sainsmart TPU from?

I got some, from sainsmart, ages ago, it was marketed as 1KG, filament, but on arrival the gross weight was 980 grams, (Net 800 grams...)
I have been looking for more black TPU filment and it seems difficult to locate at reasonable prices.

do you use talcum powder to reduce adhesion to the heated bed?

I had a couple of Near Misses, where the prints seemed impossible to remove from the heated bed...
now I write on the sides of the reel, to remind me to use Talc...

I got two reels of TPU from another supplier, and both reels were broken, internally, I noticed one when I opened the packing to use it... and got a reduced price for the roll... I checked the other, which seemed OK in the vacuum packing, but later when I opened it, the reel was being held tight by the vacuum...
this was a bit upsetting...

so I now have two whole reels of TPU to re spool, when I can find the time. and inclination. (Neither is black...)

p.s. I have two rolls from Sainsmart, Black, nearly finished, and transparent blue, both print well, and both reels are holding together nicely... 🙂

Regards Joan

Re: Here are my settings for printing Sainsmart Flexible TPU

Did you select 0.15 Optimal in the Print Settings and modify anything in the Printer Settings?

I'm getting ready to print with some TPU For testing and was hoping you could tell me what you found out is best!

I don't remember what print quality I used to print it.

I do remember that the feed gear alignment with the teflon feed hole is critical to success!

I got the TPU from Amazon.com

Thank you for the talcum powder idea! Had not thought of that.

Re: Here are my settings for printing Sainsmart Flexible TPU

greetings friends!

TPU is amazingly easy to remove from PEI. i print in TPU frequently and never use glue stick or talcum powder.

the secret is to print directly on the PEI, and when the print is done, pour a small puddle of rubbing alcohol at the base of the print. you must pour enough alcohol so that it forms a standing puddle around at least part of the print. i usually pour some on and then spread the alcohol around the base of the print with my finger. then, with your fingernail or a spatula device, lift up a small edge of the print, starting in an area that's wet with the rubbing alcohol. the rubbing alcohol will begin to wick underneath the print, at which point you should be able to peel the print off the PEI with two fingers, using minimal force. if the TPU begins to stick to the PEI while peeling, simply pour more alcohol under the print in the area that's still in contact with the PEI.

the key is to keep the base of the print wet with rubbing alcohol when you peel the print off. this technique will work regardless of whether the print is warm or cold; the print will come off faster if it's still warm, slower if it's cold. ninjaflex will stick more than the harder TPUs, but will still peel off fairly easily.

Re: Here are my settings for printing Sainsmart Flexible TPU

These settings worked for me too, except for second layer. Used 210 degrees.
I also started filament insertion by holding filament lever slightly open to allow feed. This keeps spring tension to my PLA setting for later. Dusted with talc, per Maxim suggestion, and raised "Live adjust Z" about 0.1 to allow first layer stick. Ran at 40% speed, using LCD knob.
I ended up with decent print, first time.

Re: Here are my settings for printing Sainsmart Flexible TPU

230/60c with the fan at 50% printing at 25mm/s printed a cellphone case (thin walls and bridging) great. stringing was an issue I need to work on retraction, but otherwise it printed perfect.

I like the look of those anti vibration feet. Do they work well and if so where can I find a model ? Thanks.

Sunlu TPU settings

I recently purchased a reel of SUNLU TPU. Sunlu seems to be a new filament vendor on the scene. I had problems with the extruder temperature and the cooling fan. I made the following changes to get a perfect print. Oh BTW the print stuck to the heatbed and was difficult to remove, maybe because there was a large surface area, but even the skirt was difficult to remove.

Filament Temp: 227 C to 230 C for all layers
No Cooling
Bridge cooling 50% if you want to chance it.
Bed temp 70 C then 65 C or lower
