Been watching some videos about printing TPU and making things like engine mount bushes which i hadn't thought of before, would be useful for making replacement rubber parts for vintage/classic vehicles or anything that is obsolete or needs re-engineering.
I just bought a replacement all metal extruder for my ender 3 so i will be giving TPU a try shortly.

I had very mixed results, but I'm not sure the FlashForge slicer deals with it well, and I haven't yet got another slicer working satisfactorily yet. The temp settings needed seem to be crucial.

Have fun. [emoji3]
It’s not the friendliest of materials but good results can be had.

Fitted the upgraded parts and print quality and speed have improved, also bought an auto bed leveling sensor which will come next week.
