Spring Recap: TPU, Slicers, Printers and Reader Q&A

Both articles wrap up the first month at printara3d.cz, consolidating practical lessons on materials, slicers, printer ecosystems and the most common reader questions. In this episode you'll learn: TPU 95A is among the hardest and most widely available variants, while TPU 85A or 75A offer higher flexibility for shock absorption and ergonomic parts. TPU typically prints at 20 to 40 mm/s with retraction of 0.5 to 1 mm, a 0.4 mm nozzle, 220 to 240 degrees C nozzle and 40 to 50 degrees C bed. The slicer market consolidated around three players: OrcaSlicer, Bambu Studio and PrusaSlicer, with OrcaSlicer becoming the standard for advanced users. PETG-CF contains 10 to 20 percent carbon fibers by weight, costs two to three times standard PETG and requires a hardened nozzle. First month at printara3d.cz covered PETG composites (week 1), Bambu Lab AMS on X1C and H2S (week 2), and ABS/ASA warping (week 3).
