yellowpanda Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I got my first 3D printer recently What density and pattern should I use for 3D printing powerpads? I am going to use TPU Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
..... Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Trial and error. LOTS of variables to consider. Of note, tpu isnt as soft as one would think. Be ready for lots of wasted filaments and try to keep track of what works for you and what doesnt. Different brands need be approached differently. Hot and slow... best of luck. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want felxible, try to stay UNDER 1.2+mm walls. INfills of 15-20% arent uncommon. I prefer honeycomb myself. If you're using cura, you have lots of choices. I use cura and s3d, tho s3d is my goto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyTop Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Don’t get discouraged. TPU can be difficult for a beginner. Other filaments are much easier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
