Saintsmart TPU

[pri]

Can someone explain how to load flexible filament such as Saintsmart TPU?

I tried but it jammed and blocked the extruded, I have had to disassemble the extruded to remove the filament.

Thanks for your help

Sainsmart TPU has worked for me every time on my v1 and v3 M200s. I use a 0.4mm nozzle and 235 - 245º extrusion temperature, never any wrapping on the gear. I've had reports of success from other users as well.

Other TPU/TPE materials from Ninja, Fila, TreeD, and eSun have had problems with wrapping around the gear, but Sainsmart has been a winner for me.

I'm using the Kyoto flex TreeD filaments, with nozzle 0.5, no problem with the gear, I have to try to use the nozzle 0.4.
The filament is normally loaded, for now no problem.

Thx, I will try again, I have a V4 but I don't see why It wouldn't work for me.. Beside my two left hands:)

Which color(s) are you using? I've only tried yellow, orange, and red. I did use clear "FlexSolid" from MadeSolid and it worked too, but print quality didn't seem as good as Sainsmart.

I try to use the same orange as you..

What filament did u use before the tpu ?

OK, Got it! The screw on the extruder gear was loose and at some time it stopped to turn giving the look of a blocked filament.

First TPU part is printing right now.

Thx to all of you.
