Rage's first build!!! The MK IV and Halo 3 Assault Rifle

Since you are tackling TPU in your prints I might suggest moving to PETG for rigid components.

Also for smoothing prints you can thin down bondo spot putty with acetone and brush it down, then sand.

Is this for the TPU or the hard component? Also, will it look funky after sanding and painting if I switch mid suit to PETG?

Hard Component. No it wont look funky. if anything it will hold up to heat better than PLA+. You may get more stringing with PETG but it prints at a higher temp around 245/80 (nozzle/bed)

Slowing the print speed and keeping the temperature and moisture VERY controlled helped so much with the stringing. I also used rubber cement on the inside seams.

I will have to make sure I purchase a filament drier then before I print those parts. Thank you for sharing.
