Parametric TPU O-rings
Print Profile(3)
Description
Introducing a parametric module to generate three types of sealing gaskets optimized for printing with generic TPU. Includes toroidal gaskets (traditional O-ring), square (Square O-ring), and X-profile (X-ring).
Available gasket types
- toroid: classic circular section, high compatibility with standard fittings.
- square: square section, larger contact surface and crush resistance.
- xring: X-profile, reduces dynamic friction and improves lubricant retention.
Parameters and configuration
Through two main variables you can adjust the geometry to your needs.
Recommended printing settings
- Material: generic TPU (shore ~95A).
- Volumetric speed: 3.2 mm³/s to ensure good adhesion without underextrusion.
- Extrusion temperature: 200 – 250 °C (adjust according to your filament).
- Low retraction (< 1 mm) to avoid clogging.
- Layer height: 0.2 mm.
If you have any questions, you can download the profiles and check the configuration.
