I got a Bambu Labs P1P printer for Christmas and am learning how to use it for making usable parts. So seeing how the dust boots on my newer tie rod ends were crumbling, I decided to take a stab at printing 95A durometer TPU (thermoplastic urethane). I designed the boot in TinkerCAD which took about 30 min and printing took 12 min the boot used 9 grams of a 1000 gram spool that cost 9.95 delivered.
The first attempt is a winner. Tried attaching the file. Let me know if it works for you.
 
Looks like the system won't allow that file type, so I posted it here. https://makerworld.com/en/models/1825689-tie-rod-end-dust-boot 20250924_204128.jpg
 
Feels about the same as the old oem rubber one. TPU is available in a bunch of different durometers with is a measure of hardness. That is the second TPU print I've done. The part was printed using a 95A durometer filament which is medium hardness.
