Basics of TPU 3D Printing

Sponsored by Bambu

Ready to take your 3D printing beyond rigid plastics? Join us for an introduction to TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane), a flexible filament that opens up new possibilities for functional, durable, and customizable prints.

We’ll explore the basics of printing with TPU, including recommended print settings, filament handling, and practical applications such as flexible phone cases, protective bumpers, grips, gaskets, and other useful everyday parts. We’ll also cover common challenges, troubleshooting techniques, and tips for getting better results with your Bambu Lab printer.

Whether you’re brand new to flexible filaments or an experienced maker looking to improve your TPU prints, this class will offer something for everyone.

Bring your laptop if you’d like! As time allows, we’ll work with attendees to troubleshoot printing problems, review slicer settings, and help resolve issues you’re experiencing with your own 3D prints. Come ready to learn, share experiences, and get more out of your 3D printer!
