First time printing with TPU. Another problem I had was that it didn’t stick to the textured print bed, had to go for smooth PEI which I read (and now can confirm) is not ideal. Would satin be better?

    TPU is tricky. Did you tune All The Things for it, separate things PLU settings? Off the top of my head I use 230 nozzle, 40 bed temperature (instead of ~200/60) and the retraction settings are different. I think the base speed had to be tuned too. Even then, my prints don’t turn out as smooth as id prefer. The balance of walls and infill numbers can be a dance.

      I’m not sure, I pretty much set the exact same brand and filament type in PrusaSlicer (they have a built-in profile for it) and sliced it. The nozzle temperature was 240, the bed temperature was 45 or 50, not sure right now.
