Hey folks! Today I got my first spool of TPU. I was quite excited to replace the cap of a controller’s joystick. But now I am looking for ideas what to print next.

…I was expecting more of a “rubber-ish” feel, when I ordered TPU. It’s a lot more sleek? than I expected. Or is that, because I ordered transparent “High Speed TPU”?

edit: Forgot to mention it’s 95A

    I’m so sorry to have forgotten the most important information… I edited my post to add the 95A :'D

    Thanks for your reply. I’m printing on an Neptune 3 Pro, so I guess more flexible filaments should be printable for me.

      Yep. 95A can be printed fast which is why it’s probably called a “high speed TPU”.

      Neptune 3 is direct drive so you should be fine for ninjaflex. It’ll take some tuning though because every printer reacts differently to it. Good luck!

      Some ideas that work good in tpu:

      • a tool or pencil holder with little clips that your tools set into- tpu flexibility makes this great
      • a compliant phone stand that clips around your phone
      • an open honeycomb stress ball fidget… thing (I dunno just spit balling here lol)
