Just noticed that Esun is now selling a LW foaming TPU for a good price (On Amazon) I had previously only found this from Colorfab, and- it was quite a bit more expensive.
Eager to try it out, Ive been really happy with other Esun filaments. Hopefully they bring more colors for the LW TPU!

Yes- Colorfab’s Varioshore- I could have been more specific.
Its supposed to be variable with heat settings, just like the Varioshore tpu. I’m not sure how to test the shore hardness, but I can definitely compare to the Colorfab Varioshore, I have some onhand.

The Varioshore I’ve run in my Bambu’s was handled just like any other filament. For the A1 and A1 minis, I hung it on the spool holder and poked it through the tube to the extruder. I don’t think Ive used it in my X1C, but I dont see reason for it not to do fine unplugging the AMS tube and feeding directly into the back.
I haven’t had it out lately, but the filament on the spool feels pretty similar to the usual (Overture) 95a I buy, and can definitely get softer prints running a higher temp (more foaming).
The crude results for me were- Varioshore LW TPU is much better for making items that need more flex, squishy compliance than the 95A standard TPU.

Do you mean link the ESun TPU?
I checked amazon for the link and didn’t see it now- In my orders it now says currently unavailable! Hopefully this is temporary.
I’ll post more info when it arrives

I’ve looked a few times now, it’s no where to be found on amazon shortly after I ordered… I was able to find it on the esun website, link below.
What your best settings for this filament? For me it’s webbing as hell.
It’s been a minute since I printed this- but I believe I just used generic tpu profile, cut the flow ratio to .5-.6 and set nozzle temp to high side, 255-260 I believe.
It printed well for me without fiddling. I guess as always, ensure you dry it well first.
Not sure what all the deleted junk is above, hopefully no one has been eating this stuff.
