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 always depends on your needs. If I don’t need something right now, I don‘t print it. I had some months i didn’t print at all, because I just had no need for 3D printed parts.

If you want some ideas on what you might need, i suggest going to printables and simply type in TPU.

For me there right now are some small parts I already need to print:

And some parts I am currently designing myself for inside an old iPod i am currently upgrading to micro so card
