Making gaskets in the home shop is something we all need to do from time to time. I found others using 3D printers to make gaskets from plastic but not just any plastic. In this video I make and test some 3D printed TPU gaskets in real world situations relevant to home shop guys. From fuel resistance to heat tolerance, I take a look at how these TPU gaskets hold up.
