Travel issues causing stringing
I'm trying to print this form in TPU and getting a lot of stringing indicated by the travel moves that stop at layer 41 and don't continue for the rest of the print. Zero infill, zero top layers, 3 perimeters, avoid crossing perimeters, seam is "aligned". Would painting the seam force these travel moves to stop? Is there another setting I'm missing that would keep the travel along the perimeter paths? I can;t discern why these travel moves are necessary up to layer 41 and then stop? This can't be done in vase mode. I need 1.5mm wall.

RE: Travel issues causing stringing
For questions like this, it helps if you save your project as a .3mf file from Prusaslicer and upload it here. Simply load the STL into PrusaSlicer, then under File, use Save project to create the 3mf file.
Unfortunately, this forum does not allow the upload of 3mf files, so you'll have to Zip it into an archive before you can upload the .zip file here.
The 3mf file contains not only the model but also all your settings information, so folks here can take a closer look.

Why PS is doing what it's doing, who knows. At least I don't. I can get what looks like fewer travel moves by painting on a seam into one of the corners but I can't get rid of them all. Having said that, I didn't print the model so I don't know how bad the stringing is but if it's along the travel moves, I wonder if a good blast with a heat gun can take care of the strings.
Also, take a long at @bobstro's write-up on minimizing stringing: https://projects.ttlexceeded.com/3dprinting_techniques_calibrating_filament.html
