REX Foaming Tpu for LARP/cosplay
Just sharing my experiments using this amazing material, foaming TPU from eSun, to print safe LARP/Cosplay/props weapons and accessories. Layer lines are barely visible. It's impressively resistant to tearing and easy to cut and sand (rarely needed). Contact glue works pretty well but not enough for the flail. It prints easily as long as you do it "by object" when possible. Rolls are 750g but the foaming factor and the capability to handle voids are making it a very economic solution. All of what you see (+tests) has been printed with less than a roll.
Tuning the thickness and filling will need more tests, especially for multiprints and carbon fiber rods on long objects. I'll likely have to design suitable gluable connectors for parts under mechanical stress
I kept the shapes simple as I am mostly using shapr3d, but will ramp up on Nomad and blender for the more organic projects. Bumpmesh from CNC Kitchen was very handy for the handles.
Anybody else playing with this?
