Pretty impressed how well that one turned out. Used SUNLU TPU in yellow with 200/50 degrees Celsius at 20mm/s speed on my Voxelab Aquila (upgraded PEI bed and DirectDrive, also used Filament drybox).

This filament to be exact:

Yes, this is really soft material. Got the printer to produce some results, but a lot of blobs between gaps. Never achieved nice gaps between edges.

Tried this but my result is nearly as good.

A friend of mine tried some softer material and managed to get better results printing really really slow. He also had blobs and gaps before that. Also he printed too hot. But I assume you already tried that. Maybe this community here can help? Have you considered making a post here asking for advice?

Holidays are coming, maybe I can find some time to give it another go. Last attempts was 20mm/sec, but maybe it needs even less speed.

If everything else fails, I'll reach out here. Thanks.

I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you :)
