These bracelets are beautiful, I've printed a couple in a silk PLA and they look amazing. I just wish the catch were a little more resilient - a tiny bit of wear and it doesn't grip anymore

@StrangelyType_177836 Hi and thanks for the review - the problem with the catch was with it being design for regular PLA, while silk works, it tends to wear out rather quickly, hope this helps.
I'm using amolen tpu on an ender 3 v2 with upgraded bowden tube and metal extruder. https://a.co/d/h0QhSBP I've dialed in a few parameters and have the joints working. Now, I'm trying a print at 50% extrusion speed as a last ditch effort and will post pics tomorrow. Ultimately, I think the dragon's mouth needs to be shaped more like a C than a U for the it hold with TPU (edited)
I actually only received messages from other people saying they printed in TPU, i don't tend to use TPU myself because I run everything through AMS for convenience. However from past experience using TPU, the best advice I can give would be to slow the print down to extremely slow speed, like half of what your used too, detail with TPU would need to be as accurate as possible for the latch to work. Out of curiosity, what printer are you using and which filament brand? Thanks.
I'm attempting to print this with TPU, but the mouth is not really latching onto the tail. Do you have any advice?
