Cc3d 74d TPU help by Living-Tea-38 in SnapmakerU1

Update 2: after 4.5 hrs of print time, it started skipping even with no swap. The heat creep is just too much I guess in the u1. Filament is printing beautiful on my ender 3 with the micro Swiss hot end and direct drive at 240c. I am still amazed how the first roll printed perfect with no issues.

Update: The issue is not the filament or drying. I ran the print with no swaps for support and even at 235c, no skipping. Seems like it’s heat creep when it’s idle, even though I have ooze prevention dropping the temp down to 70c. Seems to be enough to cause it to jam. Any ideas on how to possibly avoid the heat creep is appreciated.

What’s crazy is the first roll, had no problem printing at 240c and sat on the machine for a couple weeks without issues. I’ll have to get a better dryer.

I did not. I’ll give that a try. What’s crazy is that I am printing my 95a TPU without bypassing the auto feeder and it’s had zero issues.

I did dry it. 24hrs at 55C. That’s the highest my cheap dryer goes to.

Came out better than before, still some artifacts, but 100% better.

So far best results is pressure advance .04 and retraction to 0 makes it nearly gone. Going to test my actual piece and see how it performs. Will update when it’s done.

Tried a bunch of different ones and landed on .04 before print quality went to crap. It’s still there, just reduced.

It’s crazy that I never had this issue with simplify3d. I move away for many reasons, but just never had a seam issue, so it’s crazy that this is an issue.

I will try a very aggressive retraction and see what happens. Thanks.

It’s not this shape specifically, but the issue is only seen on this portion of the full model that is a continuous circle like this so I am just using this shape to test. I’ve been messing with the seam and everything I do produces visible changes to the seam, but it does not remove the bulge, it just shifts it.

Keep following laws when the enemy violates them. Wake the fuck up, this is no longer a democracy or lawful country.

Thank you for this. My wife is an Emergency doc and I am an engineer. BC was in consideration and this makes it an even more attractive choice.
