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:

Thanks for the advice! Fortunately, our Fokoos comes with a direct drive, so that's checked off already. I think our major hurdle right now will be to keep filament properly dry, as I read TPU can get quite finicky with that.

I hadn't thought of the printing speed yet, though - appreciate the help!

For keeping it dry I got myself this one (currently 10% discount):

It works really good so far
