RE: TPU Extruder making weird sounds and get stuck

Are you getting the click click sound and the nozzle doesn't extrude with the filament stuck in the extruder gear? If that is the case, it is not the speed that needs to be changed; it is how tight the extruder is. 

If this is your problem, reply confirming it, perhaps with some pictures, and I will explain what is to be done.

I just responded to someone else. I loosened both idler screws 1.5 turns (540 degrees) and that worked perfectly. Try loosening a bit during the purging stage until the plastic starts flowing from the nozzle. See here for the rest of my settings:
