Hey folks! Today I got my first spool of TPU. I was quite excited to replace the cap of a controller's joystick. But now I am looking for ideas what to print next.

...I was expecting more of a "rubber-ish" feel, when I ordered TPU. It's a lot more sleek? than I expected. Or is that, because I ordered transparent "High Speed TPU"?

edit: Forgot to mention it's 95A

I printed a Fairphoe 4 bumper case in 95A since the origianal was 40€. It's incredibly durable but at the time I printed it using a bowden extruder so I had to clean it up considerably due to stringing. I have a direct drive extruder since today (will post about it soon) and will print another bumper for a family member. I'm excited about how it will turn out
