Although flexible filaments have been around for a few years, many desktop 3D printers have been unable to utilize these filaments. Filaments such as TPA, TPC, and TPE were available, but were just too flexible for many inexpensive 3D printers on the market. However, TPU seems to be the perfect mesh between operational flexibility and […]
Flexible Filament On The Imaginator 3D Printer
Printing with flexible filament is sometimes difficult, especially if the filament is too flexible. However, Hatchbox is now making a TPU filament (flexible) which is much stiffer and works especially well. Also, TPU filament lays flat and does not curl after printing much better than it’s brethren, TPC. Although Hatchbox TPU is easily printed, […]
