Ladies and Germs, the moment you have been waiting has arrived. It's fierce and bright. It was printing phone cases in Neverland before he has joined our show. Its a fantastical and a whimsical thing. Without a further a do, I give you the Elastic Green, TPU with a hardness of 85A.

A first print using the TPU filament. We should have double checked the system and hardware, the direct drive's extruder spring is feeding the wiggly soft filament to the hot nozzle and it could be to blame for the strings - doh! What have we learned today class? TPU with a hardness of 85A is very soft. All changes made to the machine's extrusion in steps or flow will immediately show. The green line you see stretching out of the test line to the model is a clue the soft material is being pushed a little too aggressively by the Direct Drive Stepper Motor. Instead of having our team spend an decent hour calibrating our extrusions by steps per millimeter, we went straight to Live Printing.
