Pretty impressed how well that one turned out. Used SUNLU TPU in yellow with 200/50 degrees Celsius at 20mm/s speed on my Voxelab Aquila (upgraded PEI bed and DirectDrive, also used Filament drybox).
This filament to be exact:

That’s awesome! My partner is interested in doing something like that as well.
Thank you! To be honest it was a bit of work to get my printer ready for TPU, but it’s absolutely worth it. Being able to print this material gives so much additional usecases for 3D printing. Absolutely recommend this!
What did you need to do to get your printer ready? Anything you’ve learned to make it easier a second time?
Really, really nice results!
I’ve been spending too much time in testing with fiberlogy 30D material on an upgraded ender 3v2 (direct drive, pei etc.etc.)
Gave up after three dozen test prints and sub-par results. Back to petg with great results.
Thanks! Fiberology 30D?! Never heard of that, but I assume that’s very soft? I am pretty sure my Extruder would just eat that :D What were your problems?
That is crazy looking good, got a spool form https://dwdev.se Whit filament is that? Love the yellow color but cant seem to find it anywhere.
Sorry for the late answer. It’s this one:
Nice and clean looking result, great job!
Looks great!
I made a TPU phone case a while back as well with some neat custom cutouts on the back. I really liked it, but the heavy use/touching made the case get off-color and dirty looking, especially on the edges, with no way to clean it off.
I know you can clean tpu with diluted bleach, did you try anything that harsh?
I’m guessing you could clear coat it to keep it cleaner for longer
How drop resistant is it? I drop my phone multiple times daily, face first, on the side, on back, corners, etc.
Would it be possible to embed harder plastic bumpers/reinforcements from PETG or PLA inside the walls? I feel like that could make something like this even more useful
Very nice. Did you model this yourself? If so, did you also have to model your phone or were you able to find a dimensionally accurate model somewhere else?
