Have you ever tried to 3D print TPU, how about printing a shoe, in this video we find a way to 3D scan my butt so that I can finally get some relief on those longer bike rides. I've never had a comfortable bike saddle/seat and I wanted to see if using TPU to make my own which is custom fitted to my body would do any better than one that's store bought.

TPU is a pretty amazing material and it turns out that to get the properties we're looking for with TPU there are quite a few settings that we can adjust. We can modify the infill itself, but we can also adjust the line with, line width has a big impact on how flexible the final TPU piece will be.

This video goes over all of the steps so that you can try this yourself, you just need an old seat to start with, any color of spray paint, a 3D printer and some patience. If you're better at modelling than I am, you'll see even better results that I did.

There is a lot more to learn about bike saddle design and there is a lot more to experiment with to achieve the ultimate results which not only apply to seats, but to shoes, sandals, helmets, really anything you wear.

I'm working on leveling this up and it won't be long before we have the ultimate solution!

This printer isn't as full featured as the X1C, but it is very capable and very precise. It also has a heated chamber and can reach higher hot end temps.
