hard📝 Application Q8 of 15
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Identify filament suitable for flexibility
TPU is a flexible filament ideal for phone cases.Step 2: Adjust printer settings for TPU
TPU requires slower print speed and lower nozzle temperature to print well without stringing or jams.Final Answer:
Use TPU filament with slower print speed and lower nozzle temperature -> Option BQuick Check:
Flexible print = TPU + slow speed + low temp [OK]
Quick Trick: TPU needs slow speed and lower temp for flexibility [OK]
Common Mistakes:
MISTAKES- Using rigid PLA for flexible parts
- Printing TPU too fast causing defects
- Ignoring cooling needs for flexible filaments
