Please read the full project requirements before submitting a proposal. This project is not simply a CAD modification or STL preparation project. The primary challenge is successfully producing a dimensionally accurate, functional TPU 90A prototype approximately 12 inches in diameter. Applicants should have hands-on experience printing large flexible TPU components and be prepared to demonstrate that experience. My primary need is assistance from someone with proven experience printing large TPU 90A parts. I am looking for guidance on the best approach, including: • Wall thickness recommendations • Infill type and density • Print speed and temperature settings • Shrinkage compensation • Post-processing methods • Overall design adjustments needed for successful printing I am open to your recommendations and expertise, particularly regarding print settings and infill selection. Scope of Work The selected freelancer will: • Review, refine, and suggest improvements to the existing CAD model and STL to ensure the design is optimized for TPU printing. • Print and test prototypes as needed, adjusting based on measurements, fit, flexibility, and performance. • Help achieve dimensional accuracy across the full 12-inch diameter through an iterative print-and-test process. • Document all design revisions and provide updated engineering files • Deliver the final STL and any associated source CAD files. • Produce and ship a fully functional TPU 90A prototype to the United States. Communication Expectations Regular communication is required throughout the project. Please be prepared to provide photos, videos, dimensional measurements, and testing results for each prototype iteration before proceeding to the next revision. I would like: • Photos and/or videos of each prototype iteration • Dimensional measurements after each test print • Updates on any design or process changes before they are implemented Preferred Qualifications • Demonstrated experience with large-format TPU printing • Experience designing or refining parts for TPU manufacturing • Proficiency in SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar professional CAD software • Ability to recommend and validate print settings based on real-world TPU printing experience The project will be considered complete once the prototype meets dimensional and performance requirements and all finalized digital files have been delivered along with the shipped part. Proposal Requirements To be considered, please include answers to the following: 1. What printer model(s) will you use for the TPU 90A prototype? 2. Have you personally printed TPU parts larger than 10 inches in diameter? If so, please provide photos, videos, or examples. 3. What experience do you have printing TPU 90A or similarly flexible materials for functional applications? 4. How do you compensate for TPU shrinkage, warping, and dimensional variation on larger parts? 5. What dimensional tolerance do you believe is realistically achievable for a TPU 90A part approximately 12 inches in diameter? 6. Will you personally perform all printing and testing, or will any portion of the project be outsourced? 7. How many design, print, and test iterations are included in your quote? 8. Can you provide examples of previous functional TPU prototypes you have produced? Please be specific. Preference will be given to applicants with demonstrated experience producing large-format TPU parts and achieving consistent dimensional accuracy.

A 12-inch flexible TPU 90A part succeeds or fails on shrinkage compensation and warp control at that diameter: TPU shrinks and curls on large flat spans, so the approach is scaling the model to compensate measured shrinkage, tuning wall count and a lower-density gyroid infill for flex without collapse, slow print speed, controlled bed and chamber temps, and adhesion strategy sized to the footprint. I'd validate all of it through print-and-test iterations, measuring after each and adjusting before the next. Printing is done on FLSun large-format machines with hands-on TPU experience on my side. I'll optimize the CAD/STL for TPU, run the iterative prints, document every revision with photos, videos, and measurements, and ship the final functional prototype to you. Which FLSun model and build diameter is confirmed for the 12-inch part, and what's the functional requirement (fit, load, flex) I'm designing toward?

Large TPU prints Yes, I have successfully printed TPU parts exceeding 10 inches in diameter. Examples include flexible gaskets and vibration-damping rings. I can provide photos and videos of these prototypes upon request. 3. Experience with TPU 90A I have extensive experience printing TPU 90A and similar flexible materials (TPU 95A, TPE) for functional applications such as seals, vibration isolators, and flexible housings. These parts were used in mechanical assemblies and consumer product prototypes. 4. Compensation for shrinkage To manage shrinkage and warping: I calibrate extrusion multipliers and flow rates. Apply slicer compensation factors for dimensional accuracy. Employ enclosure temperature control to minimize variation. 5. Dimensional tolerance For a TPU 90A part approximately 12 inches in diameter, a realistic tolerance is ±0.5 mm on critical dimensions, depending on geometry. Larger flat surfaces may vary slightly more, but functional accuracy is achievable with iterative calibration. 6. Personal involvement I will personally perform all printing and testing. 7. Iterations included My quote includes up to three design, print, and test iterations. 8. Previous TPU prototypes Past prototypes include: Flexible couplings for mechanical drives.

Hello there! I read your requirements carefully, and I appreciate that this is an engineering and prototype-validation project—not simply an STL cleanup or CAD conversion. As a licensed Civil and Structural engineer with extensive experience in CAD modeling, design optimization, and prototype development, I focus on solving manufacturability challenges before they become production problems. **My plan:** 1. Review the CAD model and identify features that may cause printing or dimensional issues. 2. Recommend wall thickness, infill strategy, print orientation, shrinkage allowances, and other TPU-specific design improvements. 3. Refine the CAD model and prepare updated manufacturing files. 4. Evaluate each prototype iteration using dimensional measurements and functional testing results. 5. Document every revision and finalize the STL and source CAD files once performance targets are achieved. The critical factors will be controlling dimensional variation, balancing flexibility with stiffness, minimizing distortion across the 12-inch diameter, and validating every design change with measured results before moving to the next iteration. Regular communication, photos, measurements, and progress updates will be provided throughout the project. I'd be happy to discuss the prototype workflow, expected iteration plan, and manufacturing strategy before we begin. Best regards, Steven
