Printing Recommendations

• Material: TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is required to achieve the intended flexible, multi-size fit. A shore hardness of 95A is recommended.
• Layer Height: 0.16mm - 0.20mm.
• Supports: None needed! The models have been designed to print cleanly without any supports.
• Infill: 0%
• Top Surface Pattern: Concentric
• Print Speed: Printing slower than you would for PLA is generally advised for best results with TPU.
• Retraction: Ensure your retraction settings are well-calibrated for your specific TPU to minimize stringing.

Finishing Touch

For that extra special detail, use a bit of nail polish or craft paint with a fine brush to fill the inside of the cup. This simple step gives it a realistic and adorable appearance of being full of fresh coffee or tea.

Protect your projects in style. Happy knitting! 🎉
