What to do instead

  • Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but TPE needs at least 30°C for reliable adhesion.
  • Try a compatible filament for your Markforged FX10 — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
  • If you need TPE specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 200°C+ nozzle.
