Basics
- An abreviattion for the plastic Thermoplastic Polyurethane
- The main flexible filament used in FDM 3D Printing
- Can be hard to print due to the flexible filament "spilling out" in the extruder etc
- Also may require tweaking of settings to acheive the desired print quality
Notes
- 4-6,000 PSI tensile strength
- clear form exists
- UV stable forms exist
- Can be mixed with polar plastics such as PVC
