So I have a bambulab A1 and recently wanted to print something with TPU. The issue I have however is that the extrusion is just hella inconsistent. I get a coupel seconds of normal extrusion and then a couple seconds of pretty much none. The first layer was only half filled when I checked and I want to know if you guys have any suggestions.
I used the base preset for generic TPU.
This is the first layer I get after trying a couple different presets. Better than before but still horrible.
Gotta dial in those settings, I had lots of issues with tpu at first. I found my specific issue was with my retraction amount and getting clogs. Some.brands have profile for their fillaments on their websites that I’ve found good in the past
My Prusa xl printed tpu perfectly first go on its flex preset.
I found the profiles but they only have them for different bambulab printers. I assume I can use those though?
I would assume so, worst that can happen is a failed print
Which is what happens anyway since it’s not extruding right.
Exactly, what specific fillament are you having trouble with out of curiosity?
TPU 85A from Azurefilm. I don’t thibk they sell it anymore though.
