I’ve been using Polymaker 95A TPU for all my butt pads, and I’m increasingly growing tired of the gloss black finish. I’ve also got a roll of sirayatech TPU but the actual filament itself looks glossy (polymaker TPU looks matte before printed) so I don’t have a ton of faith in it. I’m hoping someone has found a nice matte finish TPU, or possibly even something like that Filaflex that foams more dependent on temperature. Are we destined to use glossy buttpads for ever?

    Filled TPUs have an amazing matte finish, I’ve made recoil pads from Fibrelogy’s TPU-CF and FiloAlfa’s TPU-GF. They’re 60D, so they may be more rigid than you’re used to. I find reducing gyroid infill down to 10-15% gets me to a comfortable feel.
