A few questions,

What brand and shore hardness.  Prusa has several built in profiles already but some require tweaking, but it depends on the brand and specific type of TPU.

The stuff is old Matterhackers TPU.  I have printed with it on an older printer, but I want to print some lens caps and want to finish up the roll.

Where can I find the built-in profiles?

Go to configuration->Configuration Wizard-> filaments.  I don't see a matterhackers one, but maybe swiss cheese will get on in a while, he truly is the filament whisperer and might have something that works.

usually you can start with one of the built in ones and then tweak.

Thanks.  I loaded the generic flex and will start from there.

yep, usually that or the semiflex are good place to start.  I have ninjaflex, polyflex, and sainsmart, but no matter hackers or I would share mine.

That's ok.  I'll just start from the generic.  Probably will print well for me for what I am using it for.

Interesting, though, for all the crap they gave to people, I never had any problems with Matterhackers and I found their filaments to be pretty good.

Before the Prusa, I had an ancient Flashforge Creator Clone that served me well for a while.  Don't use it anymore because bed leveling was impossible.

I just do the semiflex profile and raise the nozzle temp a little to like 240-248.   I don't adjust the speeds at all.  I print on the satin sheet without any adhesive at all.  I feel like I could probably get a little bit better print quality but I've not taken the the time to refine it that last little bit.
