What use cases for example? I can print TPU and have some lying around, but I have no idea what to use it for. The only useful thing I printed with it so far was new endcaps for a ladder.
That always depends on your needs. If I don’t need something right now, I don‘t print it. I had some months i didn’t print at all, because I just had no need for 3D printed parts.
If you want some ideas on what you might need, i suggest going to printables and simply type in TPU.
For me there right now are some small parts I already need to print:
