Good TPU for an Ender 3
I have been using Gizmo Dorks tpu and Ninja Flex and thought to try this. It worked out great for printing a cellphone case, squishy toys, and some grommets.My prints are only a few weeks old, so I'm interested in how they last in the summer heat.Update 3/27/2020: I made a float bowl and nut gasket for my riding mower. So far it has held up to the heat and gasoline. 2 weeks so far, I'll update if it fails with the details if heat or gas effected the material.Update 12/16/2022: The float bowl and nut gasket on the riding mower have still been holding up. So this is nice in how long it has been lasting.Note: Using Ender 3 - 220 degrees c - 40 degrees c build plate - 20 mm/s - enable crusing - 2mm retraction

Works as expected, love it
Nice TPU material with no issues printing with my Ender 3 Pro. I had to dial in the settings, but when I found what worked, it prints smoothly and comes out great!

A fairly stiff TPU has minor issues
I like that this works in my ender 3 with a bowden tube. It gives me a flexible material, but has enough stiffness to print well. I do notice that if I try to print multiple models in a row, that it gets really messy and I have issues with stringing and layer adhesion. It seems like I need regular PLA to clean out the hot end between prints using this TPU.

Great Flexible filament and prints well on most all printers!
This stuff is fantastic and has great printing properties. It prints fairly fast for TPU (one of the hardest filaments to print other than PVA and such). The support from PXmalion was amazing when I needed them. Two thumbs up for the filament and Support! I have bought over 10 rolls and will be back for more.

I have tried a few different flex filaments, for my application it is simply the best. I needed it to flex but not like a rubber band. Pxmalion Flexible TPU is perfect. Durable with flexibility. As for printing, no problems extruding what so ever.

Decent product, not nearly as flexible as I expected, but perhaps my expectations were wrong.
I'm reasonably happy with this stuff, but it isn't nearly as flexible as I expected. Perhaps my exceptions were just wrong of TPU? I thought I would get something similar to rubber, but this more like squishy plastic (I guess that's exactly what it is!) I was using it to print tires for RC airplanes and cars, and they have zero traction. Plastic tires would work just as well. They are technically "flexible" when compared to PLA, but they aren't exactly "squishy".On the positive side, it printed easily on an Anet A8 with no issues. It adhered to the bed just fine, and the inter-layer adhesion was good. Just be sure to slow it down. I think I used 40mm/second and it worked great.

This TPU has never printed successfully for me
I have never printed successfully with this filament. My other TPU filament from 3D Solutech prints whatever I send it to, but this filament can't make it beyond the raft.

A fuir !
Bobine arrivée hyper mal enroulée, le filament était hyper humide. Malgré un passage à 6h à 40 degrés dans un déshumidificateur à filament, résultats hyper mauvais peu importe la température préconisée par les divers commentaires.Bref, il y a bien une raison pour laquelle ce filament n'est pas cher...

My favourite filament to 3D print useful things
I've been using Pxmalion TPU filament for about 1½ year, and it's become my favourite filament to print useful things such as replacement parts when something breaks around the house. It's very strong, flexible, has good water and chemical resistance, and it has a deep and shiny black finish.Despite being flexible, it's easy enough to print with it using the Bowden extruder that came with my printer. I didn't need to upgrade to a direct drive extruder.You have to be patient at first though, especially if you're a neophyte. PLA is a very forgiving material, and prints will come out okay even if your settings aren't optimal. But TPU can be a little trickier; there may be some trial-and-error to find settings that work well for your 3D printer. If you're a beginner, you will definitely improve your 3D printing skills using this filament! The key is to print hot and slow.If it helps, here are the Cura settings I use as a baseline for 3D printing with Pxmalion TPU on my Monoprice Maker Select Plus printer (change settings visibility to "all"):- Layer Height: 0.2mm- Wall Line Count: 2- Optimize Wall Printing Order: ✓- Z Seam Alignment: Shortest- Skin Overlap Percentage: 15%- Infill Pattern: Gyroid- Infill Overlap Percentage: 15%- Printing Temperature: 210°C- Printing Temperature Initial Layer: 225°C- Build Plater Temperature: 60°C- Print Speed, Infill Speed, Wall Speed, Outer Wall Speed, Inner Wall Speed, Top/Bottom Speed: all set to 20 mm/s- Travel Speed: 120 mm/s- Initial Layer Speed: 10 mm/s- Enable Retraction: ✓- Retraction Distance: 1 mm- Retraction Speed: 40 mm/s- Retraction Prime Speed: 20 mm/s- Z Hop When Retracted: ✓- Minimum Speed: 10 mm/s- Lift Head: ✓- Build Plate Adhesion Type: Skirt- Skirt/Brim Minimum Length: 1000 mm- Enable Coasting: ✓These settings give me the most consistent results with this filament; adapt them as needed for your 3D printer. Gyroid infill is the squishiest pattern and uses the least material; with 2 perimeter walls the result is a firm but flexible print. 20 mm/s print speed is probably the fastest you can safely go with a Bowden extruder without clogging.

Excellent TPU when dialled in
Didn't take long to dial this in on my Snapmaker 2. Print at 220c, 60c bed, no retraction and <25mm/s and it works perfectly. After switching from PLA it does take a while to get the nozzle clear enough to produce a clean print. Probably best to have a dedicated nozzle for it. This is quite a tough TPU so no issues printing tall, it doesn't wobble.

Gutes Flexibles Filament
Für mich persönlich war dieses TPU meine erste Begegnung mit TPU. Ich kannte davor nur PLA.Das Flexible PLA das ich kenne ist zwar auch flexibel aber wirkt eher wie ein schwamm (vielleicht habe ich auch die falschen Einstellungen beim Drucken gehabt, aber das ist hier erstmal egal)Das TPU von Pxmalion hat mit meinen Druckeinstellungen (210°C Drucktemperatur, 60°C Heitzbett, Füllung je nachdem wie flexibel der Druck werden soll) gute Ergebnisse geliefert. Es war überhaupt nicht schwammig sondern wirkt optisch fest und ist trotzdem flexibel.Ein bisschen wie ein Radiergummi, jedoch flexibler.Die Rolle ist gut gewickelt, mir sind keine Wicklungsfehler aufgefallen.Ich selbst bin zufrieden mit dem Flexiblen TPU und kann es jedem empfehlen.Ich hoffe ich konnte dir eine gute Vorstellung vom Produkt geben.

First TPU I've used and it worked perfectly
This was my first attempt at using a flexible filament. I used conservative settings for print speed etc. and it worked perfectly. I printed at 210 C and 20 mm/second with 1 mm retraction. I first printed a temperature tower and then a phone case. With the temp tower, I was getting stringing above 215C but at 210 it printed well. The phone case came out very good.
