TPU and stringing issue
I am using:
Solutech Flexible Filament
0.6 or 0.4 mm nozzle (both get stringy)
Max Volumetric Speed 3 mm^3/s
Issue:
I can't get rid of stringing no matter what I do.
What did I try?
1. Followed the instructions here: https://forum.prusa3d.com/forum/original-prusa-i3-mk3s-mk3-how-do-i-print-this-printing-help/please-help-with-tpu-settings/
This means my settings are:
Printer settings:
Retract length: 3mm
Lift z: 0
Retract speed: 80
Detract speed: 40
Retract amount before wipe: 80% (20)
2. Filament settings: Lift Z - unchecked.
3. Baked my filament at 60C for 60 minutes (can't hear and popping sounds of boiling moisture from the nozzle - print quality of the filament is high).
I also tried reducing temp down to 190C - thinking the filament will be solid enough not to create strings.
Anyone has an idea what else could I try in order to fix this?
Thanks,

RE: TPU and stringing issue
TPU commonly strings especially if you print more than one object on the build plate.

RE: TPU and stringing issue
In this case I print only one part. But in the past I used to print multiple parts without stringing.
Any clue anyone? - what else can I change in my settings?
