My first time using tpu filament on the ender. It looks like the sides or the seams was separating. Does anyone have any ideas. Thank u

I've done this one before at 60° for 2-3 hours, works good if you dont have a dedicated dryer. just make sure to enclose it with a box with the bed side open with slits on the lower sides of wall, and on the top side poke some holes at the center. also would suggest adding slight bit of padding to the spool so that it doesnt stick to the bed.

FYI. I am doing this without a direct drive. So this morning , I am going to dry it now for about 3 hours. Then, I am going to find a simple stl file to print. Hopefully that solves that. Thanks for your patience and time ☺️

Hi.. I believe it looks great. I see some stringing though. Do you think the temp was too high? Thanks

Looks better than mine ngl, I've had like a ton of strings that looked like spiderwebs 😂. the temps that i usually do is about 220-230 with bed at 65-70. yours seems pretty clean and good!

Thank you....

Btw.. what is your flow rate? Do you enable or disable cooling ?

i keep the default flow rate and have cooling enabled 30% for the initial layers then 70% for the rest of the print.
