TPU Feeding Problems

Trying to print with TPU for the first time. Pretty much a novice with 3D printing in general but have printed a number of items in PLA and ABS.

Printing a phone case using Sainsmart TPU.

When I start the print, the printer goes through the normal bed leveling checks just fine. As it starts to print, extrusion is not as consistent as PLA or ABS. Biggest issue is that the printer stops after just a few passes, then commands to unload filament, then reload filament. It then goes back for a few more passes, then repeats the commands to unload and reload filament. After a few repeats of this, I cancelled the print.

I have good adhesion to the bed with no treatment.

Prusa Mk3

Appreciate any assistance
