I need a certain, rather complex shaped, flexible rubber gasket for a Dyson vacuum cleaner. Cutting it by hand would be a pain in the rear. My idea is to 3D-print it on my Ender. And now for my questions. a) Is it a myth, that you cannot use flexible filament I a bowden extruder? b) If no, does anyone of you guys can propose a material, that might be suitable for the above job? Thanks a lot!

    I was curious and so just bought a small spooll of JAYO TPU Flexible Filament form Amazon. Works fairly well on my stock Ender 3. I get usable prints, if perhaps not the highest quality. But that’s with zero tuning other than bed and nozzle temps.
