Just a quick note that we are moving forward at taulman3D to bring new and useful materials to the 3D Printing community. With today’s release of T-Lyne (Pronounced t-line) and more new materials on the way. For T-Lyne we worked directly with the chemist at DuPont on a special Polyethylene co-polymer isomer. Reason being in that Polyethylene has some unique features. One of the great features for those of us in 3DP is that it prints on about any surface, cold or warm. We sold out quickly after the announcement today, but more will arrive in a week. As a quick comparison for those that use/need flexible materials, T-Lyne comes in at just slightly higher durometer than NinjaFlex’s SemiFlex
Hi Tom, really looking forward to testing this. I’ll post how I get on with it.
That definitely looks interesting.
Is the filament stiff enough for a bowden tube system or will we need a drive gear right by the nozzle please?
Saws a review elsewhere that you can soften it in hot water then reshape it to fit thing better.
@Kenneth_Cummings We test on six lengths of Bowden to equate to different printers. As one would imagine, the longer the length, the slower you will need to run. An 18" length was close to a direct drive at 1.75mm. T-Lyne is rather high in viscosity so volcano type HE’s don’t offer much increase in speed. We are still testing some extremes like 2mm nozzles and will update the print info as we obtain more settings.
Got my roll of T-Lyne - thanks @Tom_Martz - I’ll give it a little drying out and start printing tonight.
@Tom_Martz Quick question: Any idea where I would find shops/stores that sell taulman filaments located between northern Florida through New Orleans?
