Found a perfect use for the AMS TPU

Was dissapointed that the AMS TPU was too hard for one of the uses I wanted. But then…
I bought this:

Shoulders for all the curves to allow a car on the outside lane to skid would cost me about $160. Will take maybe $20 worth of plastic for all the shoulders. That can be done with PLA or ABS.

However, track clips and fence clips need to be flexible so they can be installed and removed w/o warping. Lo and behold, the files already exist. And the TPU for AMS is the perfect combination of rigidity and flexibility for this.
The track clips look like this

Lots of other printable accessories, but these will be the first ones I print.
