3D printing settings

Print Settings:

Layer Height: Set the layer height to around 0.12mm to achieve a balance between print speed and surface quality.

Print Speed: Maintain a moderate print speed of approximately 20-30 mm/s to minimize the risk of stringing and ensure precise details.

Printing Temperature: TPU filament typically prints best within a temperature range of 210-230Β°C. Start with the lower end of the range and adjust as needed to achieve optimal layer adhesion and print quality.

Bed Temperature: While TPU generally doesn't require a heated bed, you can set the bed temperature to around 40-60Β°C to promote better adhesion, especially for larger prints or if you're printing on a surface like glass.

Retraction: Enable retraction to prevent stringing. Start with a retraction distance of around 2-4mm and a retraction speed of 20-40 mm/s, and adjust as necessary based on your printer's performance.

Print Cooling: TPU is sensitive to heat, so ensure adequate cooling to prevent warping and maintain print accuracy. Use a part cooling fan at a low speed (around 20-50%) to cool the print gradually without causing layer adhesion issues.

Build Plate Adhesion: Use a brim or a skirt with a few outlines to improve bed adhesion and minimize the risk of warping, especially for larger parts.

Print Enclosure: Consider printing in a controlled environment with a minimal draft to maintain consistent print quality and prevent temperature fluctuations.

Print Orientation: Orient the parts in a way that minimizes overhangs and maximizes bed adhesion.

Supports: Required for Door model. Top and bottom do not require supports.

By adhering to these recommended settings, you can achieve high-quality prints of your three-piece case in TPU filament, ensuring durability, flexibility, and precise fit for your Western Digital Black 4TB External Hard Drive. Adjustments may be necessary based on your specific printer and filament characteristics, so don't hesitate to experiment and fine-tune the settings for the best results.

*Please note, these settings may vary depending on your machine.
