Rocktopus for TPU v1.0 (STL problems)

prusaprinters

<p>This is a blend of two models: &nbsp;Dwayne the Rock Johnson's head and an Octopus. &nbsp;I made it with the intent to print out of TPU.</p><p>I used Blender to chop and combine the two models (badly, I might add … in that it is not a "clean" STL file and there are a few things I want to change). &nbsp;I'm sort of new to Blender so keep that in mind. &nbsp;My cura threw up model errors, but it still sliced and I could print.</p><p>I'm calling this v1.0 because I “intend” to clean up the model … cough, cough …&nbsp;</p><p>There are other versions of the Rocktopus out there, but they are articulated - I wanted one I could toss around and not worry about something cracking or breaking.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I printed on an Anycubic Vyper. &nbsp;Here were my settings:</p><ul><li>Layer height = 0.2 mm<ul><li>Initial layer height = 0.3 mm</li></ul></li><li>Hot end = 220 C</li><li>Print bed = 50 C</li><li>Infill Density = 20%</li><li>Flow = 105%</li><li>Speed = 40 mm/s</li><li>Retraction = 7 mm @ 50 mm/s</li><li>Fan speed = 100% with initial layer at Zero</li><li>Printed with a skirt</li></ul><p>This was printed from a spool of Overture TPU which I had just recently dried. &nbsp;I didn't have a fancy dryer - I just placed the spool in an electric oven set to “Warm” (so less than 200-deg F) for about and hour and a half, then I turned off the heat and let it cool back down before printing (about another hour). &nbsp;Seemed to work out OK - good enough for my purposes.</p>
