Flexi Pumpkin

This model was designed for vase mode printing and TPU but can be printed in PLA or other filament types too, TPU gives you the best flexi.
I have included many sizes for you to print. Starting at 1 inch tall up to 4.5 inches tall in 1/2" increments.
To make things easy I rounded down like Han Solo, 1 inch = 25 mm and I used 12.6mm for 1/2 inch to keep layering consistent with the .2mm printing height.

The 1 inch version prints best with .4mm line thickness, if you go thicker it will be hard to separate the sections after the print.
All others can be printed with a thicker line than .4mm, I have the profiles set to .6mm, .8mm and .99mm (the maximum for a .4mm nozzle).

The Generic TPU profile works well and the speed is set to 50mm/s printing speed. This should work with almost all the TPU out there. You may be able to increase this based on the TPU you use.

I was able to adjust the speed on the panel of my A1 Mini to ludicrous speed when using TPU-HF from Polymaker. 164% x 50mm/s = 82 mm/s, which is well within the claimed 100 mm/s. The white pumpkins in the photos are this TPU.

I included photos of side by side elasticity comparing .6mm walls to .99mm walls for the same sized pumpkin.

The white pumpkins are .99mm walls.

You can make this larger as well, I have successfully printed a 7 inch tall flexi pumpkin in PLA.
Once I have more TPU I will be adding some more profiles.

These are so much fun to play with!

They can be inverted and used to hold light weight items, use it like a stand.

Thanks for the support. I do not have commercial memberships at this time.
