Why do my TPU prints look like this? - eviltoast

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?

    All depends on your extruder. A decent extruder should have no problems with 200mm/s+

        Just because you can’t get it working doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Vez is printing tpu benchys under 6 minutes, so it’s clearly possible.

          I don’t know what you are talking about. I make real things out of tpu that get used everyday for years. I don’t know who pez is and I’m not interested in bench speed runs.

            I get that speedbencys aren’t functional objects but as long as you’re not running out of flow rate the material properties shouldn’t differ between 20mm/s and 200
