TPU noodles out the side of the gears - what is causing this?

I tried printing in TPU tonight. The first 2 prints (a couple of test blocks) turned out nice.

I tried the third piece (what I want to print), and the TPU filament just started popping out the side of the extruder. Luckily, not melted/blobbing. just straight filament out the side.

What is causing this? How can it be prevented?

For info, I am printing at 205C at the nozzle and 80C at the bed. Test blocks were great.

Slower than 30mm / sec?
