How squishy should the tires be?

Here is how squishy mine are. They are crunchy sounding too. Is this correct?

I used all the default settings for a .6mm nozzle on TPU95A

They seem way more squishy then mine. The infill for the tires was 15% for the .4mm nozzle.

too squishy. I am going to get the .6 profile taken down… causing more problems. whats the infill?

I don’t know if I shared it right, but here is mine.

I don’t do this, I think I changed permissions so it should work now.

I used 0.8mm nozzle: 5 walls, 20% Gyroid infill–they feel very rigid and barely flex under 60lb load. I also tried it with 0.6mm Nozzle, 6 walls, 25% Gyroid Infill with similar gel to them. I feel that they should be pretty rigid to reduce drag, and faster acceleration…..lol

I just printed some with a 0.6mm nozzle, 15% and 2 walls, sunlu 98A. They’re quite firm but still have a slight amount of give. The print quality is outstanding, with no stringing and it feeds through my AMS (well, one of them, the other is struggling with retraction). I told. Bambu studio it is TPU for AMS

I just popped a 0.8mm nozzle in one of the printers and am going to try that soon

I’d really love to see the tpu parts optimized for a 0.6mm nozzle, if for nothing more than to make it easier for people with a single printer to more easily take advantage of the massive speed savings on the PETG parts. I have three printers going and need to leave a 0.4 in one for TPU while the other two are running with 0.6’s

I used ChatGPT to help me optimize mine–worked really well!

looks great! I think with 98A we were experimenting, and settled on 10-12% infill being the right amount of firmness. That color is gorgeous btw

Wow. This stuff prints incredibly well. Absolutely no defects

I just kicked off the pair of seat cushions. 15:25 print time

My comment isn’t about printer settings, it’s about the part design. The harness straps are 0.8mm wide, so they can’t be printed with a 0.6mm nozzle.
