So, I stumbled across some TPU on Amazon that claimed to be "high speed". I just printed a benchy with pretty much standard PLA settings, and I have to say I'm impressed. I haven't even tried dialing anything in and there were very few blobs and very very scant stringing. I have fought with different TPUs and out of the box, I'd say this is by far the easiest I have found so far. And, I'm using a Bowden setup. So, if you've ever had the need for a flexible part, I'd say give this stuff a shot:
Only problem is that all that's available now is that ugly green and clear. They should have black and white available again at some point.
This isn't a completely fair comparison because the Sainsmart TPU I was using previously is translucent. But, I've been trying to tweak that stuff to not string for a long time, and the benchy in the picture was taken after I'd already removed some of the stringing. You can see the visible blobbing on the bow of the Sainsmart, too.
Anyway, here's the picture:
