  One thing while printing flexible materials i learned the hard way is to also lower your non-print speeds when printing tall models. Bed slingers tend to cause quite a bit of wobbling and models can get misaligned

  Cura, in their infinite wisdom, actively rejects community efforts to add a maximum volumetric flow rate into the slicer.

  If my TPU print won&apos;t come off the bed easily, I put the PEI sheet with the print on it into the freezer for a few minutes. When it&apos;s cold, TPU pops off the bed just like PLA.

  The flexible filaments can be used to print replacement covers for electronic equipment. For examples, the little &quot;hatches&quot; on cameras that cover the HDMI, phone, mic... plugs. These parts are often not available (especially with older cameras) and so worth printing.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4InFd5DoZa4&amp;t=1074">17:54</a> That moment of inertia formula that you used, works for rigid bodies. For a pipe it&apos;s only relevant for determining its resistance to buckling, but for comparing the overall stiffness of the pipe you&apos;d want to use a formula where you take the area times the distance to the centroid axis.

  Man, I wish there was an ultimate filament properties chart. Where all types and brands can be compared to each other.

  My favorite use for TPE is printing gaskets, though I&apos;d really like some purpose-built ultra-soft filament with excellent chemical resistance specifically designed for it.

  I love printing print in place flexible things like those wiggly dragons out of TPU. Super shiny and nearly indestructible for kids.
