TPU on MK3

I've been trying to print with TPU today and haven't had much luck. During the print, it frequently wants to change filaments for some reason. I'm using simplifY-3D settings, so I know that I do not have any filament changes in the file.

Anyone have any suggestions on this?

Could it just be the filament sensor having difficulty seeing this particular filament? Have you tried turning the sensor off and seeing if you still get prompted?

I will try it with the filament sensor turned off. It would seem like there's a correlation between the sensor and that kind of filament

Is it translucent? I haven't had troubles with the filament sensor and Ninjatek which uses opaque colors.
