Star Wars Croc Charms - TPU 3 Color

Set of two Star Wars themed croc charms (Boba Fett and Grogu aka baby Yoda), designed to be printed in flexible and durable TPU, with manual filament changes (TPU doesn't work well in the AMS). If slicing yourself, you'll want to add pauses at layers 72 & 77 (if using 0.2mm layer height). I recommend printing with normal supports, as they're much easier to remove, and well worth the small added time and filament. I also recommend ironing on all top surfaces, which adds a lot of print time, but results in a much better finish. I've found Bambu default ironing flow rates much too low, and suggest using 20-25% as a starting point if you've not done ironing calibrations for your filament.

Please make sure your TPU is very well dried to minimize stringing. There will be some minor stringing no matter what due to the material and number of retractions, but with dry filament it's nothing that can't be easily cleaned up with some tweezers and a razor. The models in the photos were all printed with either Overture or Hatchbox 95A TPU, fed directly from a dryer.

Can also be printed in PETG, though finding good opaque colors is not as easy. PLA is not recommended, as it's too brittle and the posts will snap off easily.

The Boba Fett looks great with a black background, green as the middle color, and red or orange on top.

Grogu looks best with a black background, green as the middle color, and brown, tan, or orange for the top.

If you want to print both at the same time, orange seems to be the best common color for the top layer.
