How well does the TPU do for impact protection?

[–] MrSlicer 1 points 2 years ago

Very well. Significantly better than the cardboard boxes it replaced.

What software did you use to model it?

[–] MrSlicer 1 points 2 years ago

This was all tinkercad believe it or not. But if you need something stronger check out freecad.

Not OP but Fusion 360 could get this done pretty easily.

Plus the hobbyist license makes it free to use.

[–] MrSlicer 1 points 2 years ago
