Hi all,
We have prototype fixtures at my work where we test the prototypes at different stages. The legs of the have a rubber bumpers on them so they can be moved around from desk to desk easily or stay put while people are testing them. An issue with these bumpers are that they leave smudges on people’s desks, giving them a dirty look.

If we substitute the rubber bumpers with a TPU bumper, will this prevent the smudging issues people are getting on their desks?

Thanks,
Josh

I haven’t tested this personally but my instinct is that FDM TPU wouldn’t smudge. Alternatively, DuraForm Flex (SLS TPU) should help, and be even more durable.

i have been experimenting with ninja flex midnight black tpu filamrent; through a bowden setup. works fantastic. replaced oe ptfe tube with capricorn tube. the ninja flex shor 82 would probably work great for your project.

CORRECTION! NINJA FLEX SHOR 85! MY MISTAKE.

TIRES I MADE WITH NINJA FLEX FILAMENT ON BOWDEN EXTRUDER WITH CAPRICORN TUBE.
