3D printing and files / Re: TPU filament---need advice please« Last post by WobblyHand on Today at 05:06:57 PM »The best luck I've had is with GT-3 High speed TPU 95A by Sainsmart. I bought mine from Amazon. I have also printed with Overture TPU also 95A. The GT-3 prints better and faster. You will need to slow things down a lot to print TPU. I had a lot of trouble with jamming of the filament. I needed to reduce the feed tension so much that the screws and springs were rattling, but finally it would print. Small stuff prints fine, but bigger objects would jam when one was feeding faster than the nozzle could melt. Reducing feed tension helps some, but PETG print rates won't work for TPU. In my slicer I reduced MVS to limit print speeds, rather than fooling with a million parameters. FYI, GT-3 MVS=5, and Overture MVS=3.5 on a good day, so Overture TPU is roughly 1/3 slower to print.
One last thing that helped a great deal was drying at 65C. 55C was not good enough to get rid of small pits and bubbles, but 65C drying cleaned that all up. I didn't believe it would work, but it did. Hope that helps some. 2

Welcome New Members / Re: Gas VS Spring« Last post by splitbeing on Today at 05:01:57 PM »Depends on the metal coil or gas spring. Power and ease of cocking vary. The gas springs have less vibration and so can be smoother. However, I prefer the metal coil springs. The smell of the lubes after shooting can be pretty nice part of the shooting experience.

Air Gun Gate / Re: So what did you Order / Receive today ? (to feed the "Beast" that lives within)« Last post by splitbeing on Today at 04:53:55 PM »Brick of 100 arturo fuente cubanitos with a tin of spitzkugel 8.64s and a tin of ftt green 5.25s.
The 10 tins once empty go back in the wood frame box and make a great target for penetration tests or complimenting a truck gun for spontaneous target practice. 7

Support Equipment For PCP/HPA/CO2 / Re: HPA compressors« Last post by Rat Sniper (AKA: PaulT58) on Today at 04:07:59 PM »Congrats on the new compressor! They are slower, but run much quieter and cooler. Life expectancy should be much better also.
I saw this on the FB the other day. I was posted in the GX Pump User Group. I have no idea if it's true or not, and even if it is, I hope you got the genuine product! 10
