Speed

Genuinely fast for a flexible — 40–100 mm/s where standard TPU tops out around 30. That figure assumes a machine that can actually deliver it: direct drive, a high-flow hotend and a short constrained filament path.

Bed surface

Clean smooth PEI at 45 °C.

Nozzle

0.4 mm is fine. The formulation is what makes it fast, not the nozzle.
