printing polypropylene

In particular, I'm trying to print this: https://consumables.ic3dprinters.com/shop/filament/gf30-pp/

Current settings are 250 degrees for the extruder, 80 degrees for the bed, printing in an enclosure on scotch packing tape. Read that it likes to be printed fairly slow, so I'm currently at 20mm/s for everything. .1 layer height on a .6 hardened steel nozzle. The curious thing, I keep getting collisions happening and the axis resets themselves. Any thoughts or has anyone gotten this stuff to print well? It pulls pretty bad so far, the latest settings seem to be better, but I'm hoping it can do better. Thanks!

Re: printing polypropylene

Collisions are likely not the filament, but instead a firmware problem. You can try disabling it for now or update to the latest beta firmware that has a fix.

No, it is crashing... The pp is pulling up enough that the extruder is running into it.
