i use TPU fairly often

TPU seems fun since it's not strictly rigid

you will not get a smooth _and_ dimensionally accurate surface finish from tpu without some really dangerous "no normal person should own this" industrial solvents

so just be aware of that

also support structures are horrible pain to remove and will never come off cleanly

sanding and grinding the stuff smooth is next to impossible

You could fix that

with a double extrusion print

where the support material isnt tpu

more difficult than it soudns

But the solvents part seems kinda offputting

if you don't care about dimensional accuracy you can polish it with a propane torch

neat, those guys have it

should I?

also: try copolyester if you want a part for high temp applications

I dunno, probably not, i was mostly spitballing

it's a nightmare to get to adhere to the bed, but once you do you have plastic parts that will ignore boiling water like abs and pla will slightly warm air

If you wanna go for it - i wont stop you

FUUUUUCCKKK

but i'm not taking any responsibility :^)

xd, might see what I can do about money tomorrow

but I might get the .me one

worst comes to worst, I can transfer the domain to someone else if I buy it

hoooly shit the wanhao d7 came down to $350

Anywho, copolyester is basically dual extrusion right?

$150 shipping still tho

copolyester is an Engineering Plastic

3d printing is confusing

i got it like $30/kg

I just want to 3d print a massive flexible dildo

>$300 shipping

Is that even body safe

Tg of 110C, melting point 290C

I don't know and I don't care

@dave bad idea, i am a Dongsmith trust me

you want to print a mold tool then cast in platinum rtv silicone

also get a vacuum chamber to degas it in

if it aint cheap enough get a thrift store pressure cooker and a chink air pump
