I recently had a need to print some flexible parts from TPU, so I decided to make a quick video going over the basics for anyone who hasn't used this amazing stuff before!!!

If you ever have a need to print flexible/soft parts, TPU is what you will need, and this video will give you the basics to get started. The ability to print TPU really will open a whole new world of possibilities in your 3D printing.

I'm using a Creality CR-10S Pro V2/Sonic Pad to print the infinity cube shown here. It is still using the typical Bowden extruder that comes with the printer. Some say that you need a direct feed extruder to print TPU, but I am here to tell you that YOU DON'T!
