Issues when printing with TPU 60A
Have a friend how has printed with "Filaflex 60A Pro Svart" with great results.
But when I tried on my MK4 it does not work.
The settings is as recommended for that material.
Also tried to:
Increase the temp
Reduced the speed
Increase flow
Anyone tried to print soft TPU with good resault?
Regards

Fixed. It was me that had changed a setting in a way that was not that clever 🙂
Now works good.
Only issue is that the filament is not possible to load due to the softness of it.
To load it I removed the smal steel spring that pushes the steel ball in the filament sensor, so the filament could pass.
Next I snapped opened the filament "push bracket(?)" so I could see that the filament entered the correct way. Loosened the pressure a little as well.
Then good to go.
RE:
What are the recommended print speeds from the manufacturer of your filament. That's where I'd start.
I'm my experience TPU needs to be printed slow. I don't use input shaper on tpu.
You also need to make sure the filament is dry. TPU absorbs moisture from the air and it will contribute to poor quality prints. I recommend you dry the filament for the best results.
