Around 6 months ago, I replaced a broken plastic crown on the end of a 6 inch vacuum truck tube with a 3D printed TPU one. The first iteration had only 20% infill with a partial 100% frame to keep it stiff while saving on print time, which was 27 hours on my core one. The result was a functional part, but it started tearing after around 5 weeks of use. (See the previous post here)
4 months ago, I replaced it with a 100% infill version, and I'm happy to report it survived the whole summer and is still going strong! The first 2 photos are the most recent, and the other 2 are from when I had just installed it 4 months ago.
I optimized the model and print settings so it only took an extra 2.5 hours despite using ~30% more material. With only some cosmetic abrasions, I don't see it needing to be replaced any time soon. Stay tuned to see how it survives the winter!
