Items under Challenges of TPU Based 3D Printed Fashion Clothes
C1 While 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.
C2 TPU 3D printed parts also take much longer than traditional non-flexible materials because the print speed must be reduced.
C3 Depending on the make and model of the extrusion printer, the shore hardness of the TPU filament can be limited.
C4 If the temperature is too high, stringing can occur
C5 If the temperature is too low, layer adhesion will be poor
C6 Resistance to UV light is poor
C7 Needs to be printed at low temperatures
C8 Difficult to post-process
C9 Degrade in wet conditions
