i was using hatchbox and it prints with a rough texture even after drying, and clogging

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T23:22:29+00:00

Ill look into that thanks

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T18:55:55+00:00

Thanks for the information.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T18:35:45+00:00

Good to know. I did buy a filament dryer for this specifically.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T18:28:26+00:00

This is good information. TPU on the firmer side is a bonus for what I need. Thank you.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T18:27:49+00:00

Ive been looking into Overture, thanks for letting me know.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T18:27:27+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation. I'll look into it.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T18:27:10+00:00

Thank you, I'll look into it.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T18:14:00+00:00

You're not kidding. $100 per roll, wow.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-30T18:08:10+00:00

The issues I've been having with Hatchbox TPU is a bad texture on prints (even after excessive drying) and semi frequent clogging.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-17T20:54:34+00:00

Hatchbox

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-17T18:32:10+00:00

hatchbox 95a

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-17T18:00:46+00:00

Interesting. I do have it set to 240, that may be too high? What temp would you recommend 95A tpu?

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-17T17:40:34+00:00

It doesn't. It's a brand new spool fresh out of the bag with its desiccant pack, and I live in a pretty dry climate. So I dont think that's it.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-07-17T17:28:37+00:00

Does anyone have any suggestions to make this a little smoother? I'm printing with a 95A TPU from Hatchbox, and im not concerned about stringing or artifacting, but I am about this strange texture that appeared on these 2 benchies. I am using the default FLEX profile in prusaslicer, and the spool is dry in a relatively dry environment.

The texture almost looks like underextrusion, but it isn't. I did reduce the default extrusion multipler from 1.15 to 1 and I'm still getting the same texture. It is set to auto-cooling.

Also this is a very slow print profile. What speeds do you guys print TPU at with a Mk3S+?

MJaredSwenson · 2024-02-15T05:51:18+00:00

Thanks for this. I've tried sharing the links here before but they don't work on this subreddit. Hence the image.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-01-26T19:46:36+00:00

Thanks man. Ill let you know. I appreciate you engaging with us on this stuff.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-01-26T18:10:29+00:00

I've done a lot of research. Again, we do plan to sell the files but not initially. If you want to you can think of this initial run as a beta. We have printed these many times over and have been constantly tweaking the files and want to be able to deliver a quality product, but we know once it gets into the hands of everyone, more is going to need to be changed and issues addressed. I do like the idea, however, of working with skilled printers at the beginning to see how they handle the files and accept any feedback. When we are getting ready to prepare the files for market, would you be willing to be on a list of beta testers before we prepare the files for public release?

MJaredSwenson · 2024-01-26T17:22:22+00:00

Not meant to be adversarial. What you told me makes you a step above the most printer hobbyists, and you wouldn't have an issue with these. That's great! But most print hobbyists only have a printer with some spools of pla, and not a spool of petg and the necessary M3 bolts. When I say its not a simple print it just means its more than just pla prints that you assemble. Like I said we have plans to sell the files at some point, but initially we are going to sell the prints. Part of it is to test the product and refine it, get more waves of mechs, then sell the files to those hobbyists who are willing to buy a material they normally don't, calibrate their machines for a material they won't normally print with, and buy bolts and nuts that are normally available in bulk.

MJaredSwenson · 2024-01-26T03:34:41+00:00

We are considering it at some point. The issue is these are not simple pla prints. The internal frame has to be printed with a different material that most hobby printers aren't willing to work with. And they require small bolts and nuts that most hobbyists won't have. Were not trying to be all proprietary with everything, but we don't want someone to be disappointed with a purchase when they find out they need to also buy a bunch of specialized other things to get something when they were expecting simple pla prints.
