Basics
- Plastic filaments which flex upon application of force
- Good for many unique uses such as joints
- Can be problematic however as they can clog and jam extruders, and they print strangly (ie stringing etc)
Units of Meaure
List
TPU
Natural Rubber
- Supposedly vulcanized can't melt
- NEEDS MORE RESEARCH
- A Whitepaper on The Melting Point of Natural Rubber
- Probably wouldn't be an off the shelf option, but perhaps Rubber From Dandelions or something, although the complexity may be more trouble than it's worth
- Also would most likely require vulcanization
- May also require the addition of Carbon Black
