Curious about the price point on the Phaetos Conch Plus... I looked at the link but didn't see any price (maybe I just missed it) Just recently upgraded to a diamond-tipped nozzle, so Phaetus' option is going to have to come in less than that, particularly considering even silicon-carbide can't surpass its wear nor thermal conductivity.

I work for UK filament manufacture, we just did a small run of TPU it wasn't easy. your correct remove as much friction in feeding even to pull a meter off the spool just let the extruder pull it in. if you can fit a stainless steel tube right up the extruder gears to stop filament getting stuck in the gears on the hot end side of the extruder. 3mm OD 2mm ID or cut up nozzle with long heat break tubes. Set the filament tensioner as high as you can TPU filament is tough and slippy, so don't worry about crushing the filament. A larger nozzle helps too. you make great content hopefully sponsor a video.

Just use a PTFE tube, cut in up and place it right before the wheels. I have been printing with my Bowden set up for ages. It´s not that difficult. You simply need to account for the very soft material from the spool all the way up to the nozzle. Retraction is higher because you don´t really retract material you deform the TPU instead and then move it. Clamp force squeezes the material as well more so and changes the diameter etc. Higher extrusuin multiplyer is also used for that same reason, it´s just to account for soft material

@@kimnielsen9320 Yep been using packing tape and it does work great, but even then the surface you put the tape on matters so it doesn't peel up. I also bought a large polypropylene sheet to cut up and use as build sheets, but when I use it, as with the packing tape, it becomes one with the sheet. The prints are incredibly strong though, so even trying all my might to tear it, no luck. Can just cut it out and sand off the bottom. Not worth the hassle over tape. Gonna try glue on the sheet. May buy a build sheet and glue designed for PP eventually if I need to make a really expensive part. Thanks!

Funny enough, I've gotten 70a tpu to work on my slightly modded ender 3v2. Still a bowden, but with a dual gear extruder. It isn't perfect (might need a bit more tuning on my end), but it works surprisingly well. I use a bit of hand soap as lubricant (a little on the tip, insert the filament, and run it though until the soap stops popping out of the nozzle). A little cursed, but it works.

I was really enjoying the esun 83A toe filament until I was about halfway through the roll. After that I could not get it to extrude for the life of me and even replaced the extruder on my x1c thinking the gears were wore out. After all that effort it turned out that the filament in the middle of the roll was thinner to the point where it could not be grabbed by the gears anymore. I was super frustrated and haven't bought it since though that could have been a one-off. Also, that is some of the best smooth jazz I've ever heard.

My best tpu/tpe printer is also my cheapest printer. My two much more expensive printers are ridiculously hard to dial in for tpu/tpe. Definitely between brands and even different colors within the same brand. My Anycubic Kobra Neo which cost less than 25% of the other two prints tpu/tpe easily. It's my go-to for most soft filaments. Little setting change between brands and none for colors within the same brand.

I recently printed some 85A Ninjatek Ninjaflex on my MK4. All I did was select the generic flexible filament profile in PrusaSlicer and reduced temperature by 10 degrees -- literally no other adjustment, either in software or hardware, and it printed *pitch perfect*. Like, literally, I didn't even get any stringing. On the other hand, the 92A Fiberlogy flexible filament I have is oozing all over the place, it's always stringing massively and no matter how much I try to fiddle with the settings, it just really sucks arse. I dunno if I have any real point here other than that some brands are clearly better than others.

@LostInTech3D 90A is what I print for the last 7 years. Back then, it was a fun challenge. 40mm is the max speed I can do. My parts have heaps of retractions and are 9hr prints. 0.4 nozzle, 30 deg bed, 240 deg hotend, 5mm retractions. Tried larger nozzles, but 0.4 gave the best results for me. Can't go any faster, tried that, extruder issues arise and/or parts fail the quality tests. Still, the biggest issue to date is the actual filament diameter. I've seen under and over size within the reels. Looking forward to your results.

According to the MSDS on esun's website, the eLastic TPE-83A is 97% Tetraphenylethylene (or TPE for short, a different expansion of that initialism). It's probably a good idea to check the MSDS (Material Safety data sheet) on new filaments (assuming it's available) so that you know what it is you're actually printing with (like knowing what the the + part of the PLA+ filament you're using is). It's also good to know how to dispose of it (apparently this TPE has to be disposed of as hazardous waste).
