First time printing with TPU. Another problem I had was that it didn’t stick to the textured print bed, had to go for smooth PEI which I read (and now can confirm) is not ideal. Would satin be better?
I came across a really clever idea today for minimizing warping on a large flat surface. The modeller made the first two layers into a series of bridges, which seems to let the plastic shrink and stretch a bit, also preventing some possible blobbing....
I knew it could get out of control, but turns out knowing is not experiencing it. It's just nearly 2 months since I got my first fdm printer and this is the result. 1 roll is finished 12 stacked to go.
Wanted to mount a power strip to a table so designed a little bracket that just zip ties to the table leg and got lucky with it working perfectly first try, feels good man
The main thing I’m not sure about is the gaps on top and the globs and strings on the top and sides. I think the gaps on the bottom might be needing to level the bed and extruders better, and maybe I need to try a raft for the warping?...
So currently I am thinking about organizing space around my 3D printers. I know Gridfinity from Zacks YT. But while looking for solutions for 2020 extrusions, I found this gem. Looks slightly better than basic base plates. Wonder what you think about it
