Topic: TPE

Hey guys, I'm new to the wide world of making your own filament as I've only ever made ABS in my machine however I really want to play around with flexible filaments, would this be a good bet to try to extrude?

Any tips would be great too! Thanks again!

Re: TPE

3m Multi-flex extrudes really great, but it has so much flex that i haven't been able to get it to print, I tried a 1/2abs 1/2multiflex and it worked but flex wasn't really there, but had a neat texture. I have 10lbs of it left so i'm going to try some more mixing this week to test my new equipment.
I'll post results here
out of abs but have some pla's and pc and a few other things to try as well
