TenaFlex filament

Hi

Has anybody tried to print the Tenaflex filament? I have tried od smooth PEI, Satin, and Textured. It sticks to nothing. I am printing on MK4, so the first layer can't be an issue. 

I never use any glue, so I don't have any experience in this subject. Can you help me in this case?

Hello maximtimeclock@TenaFlex filament,

Using a glue stick or hairspray on the print bed can significantly improve adhesion for flexible filaments. Even if you haven’t used glue before, it’s worth trying for materials like Tenaflex. If PEI surfaces aren’t working, consider using a build plate specifically designed for flexible filaments, or applying an adhesive aid as mentioned above. Make sure you’re printing at the right temperature for Tenaflex. Flexible filaments often require a higher temperature than rigid materials.

I hope this will Help You.

Best Regadrs,
