(Discussion) what are thoughts about using a 3D printer to make TPU dog toys? in c/[email protected]

I tend to agree with you on most points.

However, some other people have taken a more cautious approach. I think currently the censuses is leaning toward, best not to.

Good point on the mold.

I see your point about parts breaking apart being a concern.

How familiar are you with TPU? It’s quite durable and robust. It’s a plastic currently used in many dog toys. Between that and Part of me feels like TPU being a soft plastic that would minimize risk.

AI response for the heck of it.

I want to branch out from PLA. Should I try ABS or TPU? in c/[email protected]

TPU.

ABS is a beautiful filament, but it’s somewhat similar to PLA in its properties.

TPU I fun to play with and its flexibility offers different properties than PLA

I have been looking at least prototyping in TPU 3D printed dog toys.

Interesting, so best practice is to increase layer height for PETG. Seems good to know

(Troubleshooting) Does anyone have an elegoo giga? (sh.itjust.works)
 

I have an giga and it’s a bit finicky, I am hoping to troubleshoot. A Bambu it is not. I am a bit disappointed, because for bigger prints the printer is much less reliable so far than hoped. I had desired to be doing much more furniture design prototyping and projects than troubleshooting.

My primary issues are bed adhesion (even after good bed leveling), and layer adhesion. The first, leads to a quick failed print and sometimes a more catastrophic clog of the nozzle. The second, yields a bad quality print that has warping.

Right now I can sort of print PLA with a lot of brims (no brims, no joy) but my desired state is to print PETG, but the issues are proving too severe to get any success there.

I’ve done temperature towers, and am running hotter with a 0.6mm nozzle. I have textured pei print beds.

Anyone have any suggestions?
