Items under Challenges of TPU Based 3D Printed Fashion Clothes
C1While it is possible to print TPU using a desktop printer, the flexible filament is difficult to work with as it can easily disrupt layer thickness and jam or clog the printhead.
C2TPU 3D printed parts also take much longer than traditional non-flexible materials because the print speed must be reduced.
C3Depending on the make and model of the extrusion printer, the shore hardness of the TPU filament can be limited.
C4If the temperature is too high, stringing can occur
C5If the temperature is too low, layer adhesion will be poor
C6Resistance to UV light is poor
C7Needs to be printed at low temperatures
C8Difficult to post-process
C9Degrade in wet conditions
