Transparent (Clear) TPU

I am trying to print a phone case using clear TPU. The print itself turns out great but it is milky colored instead of clear. Do I need to change any of the slicer settings? or is there something else I can do to achieve a clear phone case?

RE: Transparent (Clear) TPU

It's really difficult to get a clear transparent 3D print on a FDM printer. Especially something like TPU. There are various techniques for clear filaments that involve using no infill and printing extremely slow. I would try printing as slowly as possible with a large nozzle and layer lines like 0.6mm and 0.4mm lines

RE: Transparent (Clear) TPU

A few years ago experimented with a number of recipes for clear 3d prints. None of them gave me what you would call truly transparent. There are a few suggestions on Printables, or just google for them, but frankly I wouldn't hold my breath.
