RE: Printing TPU/TPE on Prusa XL
Hi, has anyone printed with flexible filament on the XL? There seems to be a lot of resistance on the filament from the PTFE tube. Do I need to bypass the first filament sensor and just run it without a PTFE tube to the extruder? The filament I am using is a 40D TPU with an average diameter of ~1.67 mm.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I had to disable as well the filament sensor, since it could stop printing in the middle of a print for not "sensing" the filament in the sensor right above the extruder tube. maybe the elasticity of the filament when it gets pulled is the problem, and as well the sensor not revealing it correctly.
Is that an overture TPU? If yes, I'm using the same, with the amazonbasics tpu settings.
I have noticed that this TPU from Overture smears the nozzles. It takes a long time for the color to be completely flushed out of the nozzle.
