Just seen a thread with somebody requesting information on printing TPU.

I'm just getting to grips with 3D printing and thought I would start a general request as per the title as it is something I am also interested in doing at some time.

Does anybody have experience to share, such as materials as well as printer settings and general comments on results ?

I’ve successfully printed tyres using ColorFabb Varioshore TPU with an Ender 3 V2.

 

The trick is not to print at too high a temperature. 200°C works for me, anything more makes the tyres too soft and spongy. And you only need a bed temperature of 30°C. I can’t remember my other settings (print/flow speed etc.), but I could look them up if you need to know.
