Bowden extruder used in some 3D printers has the advantage of having a small and lightweight head. But the long distance from the extruder to the nozzle makes it difficult to extrude TPU filament, which is soft and cannot be tensioned. Therefore, it is challenging to print T...
Clean it with a sonic cleaner etc. Which is the best way without damaging the nozzle. Also what would cause so much of the TPU to stick to the nozzle? I have attached a couple of photos to show what it lo...
What are the most common filament materials for 3D printing with FDM? Some of the most common filament materials for FDM includeABS(acrylonitrile butadiene styrene),PETG(polyethylene terephthalate),TPU(thermoplastic polyurethane),PLA(polylactic acid),PEEK(poly-ether-ketone) andPC(polycarbonate). ...
Polylactic Acid is to 3D printing what training wheels are to bicycles. It’s incredibly easy to print on even the cheapest 3D printers. With print temperatures beginning as low as 180°C, you don’t need an all-metal hot end to print this filament safely. PLA doesn’t even require a ...
PLA: PLA is the most common type of filament and the one we recommend using if you are new to 3D printing or if you’re printing in a family/home setting. It’s the easiest to print with, has decent durability, and is useful in a broad range of printing applications because of its...
I've only printed translucent TPU (mostly Sainsmart) and I haven't personally noticed any difference with prints between the different transparent colours. On the other hand, items that I print in PLA using various Sunlu PLA+ filament colours do have some noticeable differences depending on the ...
TPU, or thermoplastic polyurethane Is arguably the most flexible filament of all. These elastomers are resistant to abrasion, grease, and oil, bend easily, and boast practically every property of rubber. TPU is also quite rigid and relatively easy to use. This accessibility and flexibility means...
5. Conductive filament You can print wearable electronics, touch-sensitive buttons, and other electronic items with conductive filament 3D printable materials. They’re made from a mix ofpolylactic acid(PLA) and graphene to conduct electricity. Parts made with conductive filaments are brittle, so mos...
This is also another common 3D printing material that uses plastic resin as the raw material. It has a low shrinkage property and is highly chemical resistant. It also offers a faster printing process compared to printing with a filament. ...
