Very exciting milestone for this printer – it is the first time printing something other than PLA! I just started the first tire print using “Flex” or TPU based materials. Here is a quick video of it laying down part of the first layer… We’ll know in an hour or so if it works! Check out the live footage here.
I used some of the tips from this link on Prusa’s site to give me a better shot of the print turning out successful. They include loosening the extruder gears, and ensuring I’m printing at slower speeds. I honestly have no idea if this is going to work!
