QUESTION / CONTEXTI am trying to print this as smooth as I can with tpu using a .6 nozzle what do you reccomend
IMPORTANT GUIDANCE
- --
- 0.24mm (best smooth/fast balance for 0.6)
- If you want *maximum* detail/smoothness:
- 0.18mm is fine (what you’re using)
- If you want “rubber factory look” smooth sides:
- 0.28mm also prints really clean with 0.6 (fewer layer transitions)
- 20–25 mm/s (TPU likes slow outer walls)
- 3 walls is perfect (you already have this ✅)
