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:

I assume that this will happen to this one too. Especially because of the bright yellow I used. The question is how long will the case be usable without looking disgusting. If that’s as long as some cheap silicone/TPU cases you can get from Amazon I am fine. How long did it take for you to get to the point of „uuuaahahhhrrggg… I need a new case…“?
I'd say it was maybe 6 months? Mine was a bright-ish teal color too so it started to look bad fairly quickly. Unfortunately the cheap silicone ones do last longer for me. But you really can't beat the level of customization you can do on your own print. I'd wager you can probably get a lot longer out of it if you did a black or darker color filament.
Hmm okay… I wanted to order a darker filament anyway. But I will see how long my wife’s holds up. I already ordered a transparent TPU with which I will print a case for my 13 mini (designed a case for it today that has some hexagon design and holes for a Paracord lanyard) and then I will try how long it will get me going. And yes, I am absolutely hyped about the fact that I can now design my very own case specifically how I like it at the moment. Really cool!
