First Time TPU Print
Hello, I've only ever printed PLA, I need to print a small part out of TPU. Can I safely rely on just choosing TPU material/Profile, hot end and change my plate?
1. Core One Plus single extruder.
2. High Flow ObXidian™ - 0.4 mm
3. Textured or Satin Sheet? I have both
RE:
What I do is this:
- Use a separating agent e.g. glue stick, leave a strategically placed fingerprint on the purge area
- run it straight into the head, no PTFE tube, disable filament sensors, use manual stepper controls to load
- purge more than usual (a HF nozzle doesn't exactly help here, my "goto" nozzle would be standard flow brass but HF should work just fine. Just remember to purge much more material than usual when going back to regular filament - TPU is purge-resistant, kind of...)
