I need a certain, rather complex shaped, flexible rubber gasket for a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Cutting it by hand would be a pain in the rear. My idea is to 3D-print it on my Ender. And now for my questions. a) Is it a myth, that you cannot use flexible filament I a bowden extruder? b) If no, does anyone of you guys can propose a material, that might be suitable for the above job? Thanks a lot!
Keep retraction low and just give it a shot with quality filament! Overture High Speed was referenced earlier here and is a great call.
I have a franken-CR10 V2 that is far from stock but still bowden, and print everything from TPU to ASA to CF Nylon with zero issues. It really comes down to tuning. Direct drive will always have less room to flex of course, but you can definitely get things working with your setup if you take enough time to tweak.
Good luck, and share results here on the community!
