We highly recommend reducing your print speed when 3D printing TPU. This can be frustrating, especially if you have invested in one of the fastest 3D printers around, but it will be far worse having to continuously unclog your 3D printer’s nozzle if you print too quickly.

We recommend printing at around 20-30mm/s with TPU. This is because TPU’s softness makes it more difficult to consistently extrude the right amount of filament, which can cause clogging, errors, and failed prints. It is better overall to go slow and steady, rather than go hell for leather and have to keep unclogging.

Use a build surface like PEI or blue builder’s tape along with glue stick or similar for adhesion. Be careful however if you are using PEI sheets, as TPU sticks very well to these sheets. Use extra glue stick or other surface for adhesion to prevent parts pulling off the PEI sheet after printing and fusing with it.
