Hey folks! Today I got my first spool of TPU. I was quite excited to replace the cap of a controller's joystick. But now I am looking for ideas what to print next.

…I was expecting more of a "rubber-ish" feel, when I ordered TPU. It's a lot more sleek? than I expected. Or is that, because I ordered transparent "High Speed TPU"?

edit: Forgot to mention it's 95A

    as far as things to print… self-designed TPU covers for phones. to, you know. Show off. Alternatively, there's always all sorts of wheely things with compliant tweels.

    or springs, or shock absorbers. I've also found it useful for hinges or things that will be flexing often since TPU doesn't stress like PLA or abs or asa does with extreme flexing.
