Pink/purple build: Numakers PETG

This is my 2nd build and my first time using Numakers filament. It seems to print OK using Bambu PETG Basic settings. If I was to nitpick it’s a bit less clean on the vertical layer lines than say Overture PETG. Overall I’m very happy with how the colors came together on this one!

Colors:

Numakers Atomic Pink

Numakers Mauve Purple

Anycubic Clear PETG (for wheels)

Ziro Opal Gradient TPU (for tires)

Overture TPU-HS Pink (for straps)

Siraya Tech TPU Air - White (for cushions)

Thanks for sharing. I recently purchased the Ziro Opal TPU but had no idea that it would look like that. That’s awesome.

Numakers and School House can both be printed with the PETG-HF profile. Prints great and a good bit faster too!

If you do print the gradient TPU make sure to print each tire sequentially and not all at once. Otherwise the color gradient won’t look at nice.

Thanks for the tip. I like printing tire treads by object anyway. Nothing like ruining a full batch due to a single hangup. Lol

I’m having trouble with numaker petg doing layer shifts and missing layers. Any ideas?

I haven’t had any issues with Numakers at all. Which profile are you using to print it?

I was using bambu HF but I have restarted and slowed down to a generic.

Twice I had terrible layer shifts so have started over to this 3rd time. Hopefully this works.

That’s odd to me. I have printed many spools of it with the HF profile and had no issues at all. Hopefully it fixes it for you though!

How many can you print by object? On my A1 I can’t get more than two by object. I can fit three, but I get a to tall error.

Sometimes I print them on the Kobra Max which allows me to print like 6 at a time but it does have a 430x430 build plate… Maximus is my cheat code.

I typically print all my TPU, except the TPU Air, on my Prusa Mk3S and I can fit three tires at a time.

I had the same experience as @Kimberly3d . Numaker had noticeable layer lines and shifts at higher speeds but once I slowed the speed down (and lowered the nozzle temp from the default 255 deg) I noticed a higher quality print.
