Gods, I fucking hate this so much. I’ve got a ninja blender that the lid seal is broken, and the lid alone is like 50-70% of the cost of a whole new unit. It’s ridiculous how impossible it is to find replacement parts for simple things anymore.

This is why I have a 3D printer. I make all kinds of seals, gaskets, o-rings, usually better than original.

  Do you use a special filament for that?

    You print molds and make it out of RTV.

    TPU works fairly well depending on the application.
    
    I wouldn’t rely on it for high temperature (above 150C) or high pressure/vacuum applications, but for most household applications it’ll hold up fine.
