Print with TPU Flex
Hi guys,
I tried printing with TPU for the first time.
The final result was as follows:
It's normal? I don't like the final look t all 🙁

Retraction is key, but some stringing happens with flexibles.

How I can minimize stringing?
RE: Print with TPU Flex
I resolve this with the next parameter:
Filament settings > Filamente Overrides :
"retract on layer change"
RE: Print with TPU Flex
Have you dehumidified the filament?
it looks bubbly,

Yes, is dehumidified! The filament is new ! it's ruby color.
But I continue with strings! Someone helps with "retracting" configuration?!
RE: Print with TPU Flex
I use 'Generic Flex' but set retractions to 0.0mm
and on small sections, you need lots of cooling!

can you share your configurations? please!
RE: Print with TPU Flex
Hi Arkatcrime,
I have enclosed a .3MF file for a recent model (A repair tube for a vacuum cleaner connector, where the original had split..)
I hope this helps.
it is the Generic Flex profile at 0.3mm layer height with retraction set to zero, and the fan set to run above layer3

I have a doubt. Your retraction is 0mm (Zero), but zero you don't disable retraction?
