Can we print it SOFTER? TPU experiments.

Описание: Following up on the first 4 videos in this series, in this one I explore whether or not it is possible to 3D print softer gaskets using TPU or flexible filaments. If you have not seen the rest of this series check out the links to see my attempt to test the limits of printed TPU in semi-scientific tests and in the real world.

The first 4 videos of the series:
Can you print 3D gaskets? Should You? -    • 3D printed gaskets? Any good?  
Will 3D printied gaskets melt? -    • Will 3D printed gaskets melt? TPU tests  
Can you heat treat 3D printed gaskets? -    • Annealing TPU to increase its heat resista...  
3 ways to design a gasket for 3D printing -    • 3 ways to design a gasket for 3D printing
