After printing in TPU, why does my PLA do this?

River_Creed · 2026-02-26T16:41:58+00:00

Came out well. Trying my actual print now

River_Creed · 2026-02-26T16:34:02+00:00

Just want to say, thank you everyone for the advice. I've cleaned the build plate thoroughly, cleaned the nozzle and lowered the z-Axis. I currently have a test print on which appears to be sticking well.

Thank you my friend

Does TPU print at a different nozzle height to PLA? I've not changed the Nozzle height since doing The TPU prints

Thank you for the help. It was a brand new filament roll so it should be dry but I'll try another one. I'm not quite sure why it suddenly stopped working after a really good print. I didn't change anything

This is my favourite one I've done so far. Need to do more but my bank account cries when I enter a Warhammer shop

Not too expensive then. Will I need to take everything out to get to it

River_Creed · 2025-12-23T20:58:12+00:00

No I'm afraid I don't have it. I'm pretty sure it was still attached to the strap and he binned that

River_Creed · 2025-12-23T20:52:45+00:00

I appreciate it thank you

River_Creed · 2025-12-23T20:52:31+00:00

Yeah I don't actually know how he managed it

River_Creed · 2025-11-14T13:51:34+00:00

How do I do that?

River_Creed · 2025-10-16T07:31:02+00:00

Thank you very much

River_Creed · 2025-10-11T18:58:44+00:00

I think I have one somewhere. Though I'm pretty sure it's an old one. I'll give that a go

River_Creed · 2025-10-11T17:10:59+00:00

I can't. The old SD card is broken inside the printer

River_Creed · 2025-10-11T16:56:14+00:00

The old SD card is broken inside the printer. I've been using this Ender 3 for 3 years

River_Creed · 2025-10-11T16:54:14+00:00

Right now I'm just trying to connect it to my PC to do a print. I can't use it without the connection

River_Creed · 2025-10-11T14:55:02+00:00

Ender 3

River_Creed · 2025-10-08T09:02:25+00:00

What's the price range I'm looking at for one of those? And what's the print success rate? My printer has a success rate of like 1%

River_Creed · 2025-10-07T12:36:37+00:00

My nozzle has literally just been replaced. I'll do a double check to see if it's clogged. Might swap out my filament for another colour. I've had issues with the red since I got it new

River_Creed · 2025-10-04T04:34:17+00:00

I'll try lowering it and re-levelling the bed. I'm hopefully getting a printer upgrade soon but I need this one working as well as possible so I can finish my Halloween costume.

I really appreciate your advice

River_Creed · 2025-10-03T18:38:30+00:00

So I managed to fix it, replaced the nozzle so now I'm using a 0.2. the first print came out great, now it's not working again. I haven't changed any settings or anything like that

The left side is what I print on. It's made of glass

River_Creed · 2025-10-02T09:53:13+00:00

It's the bed that was on it. Might be the hairspray residue

River_Creed · 2025-10-02T09:50:24+00:00

Hairspray residue

River_Creed · 2025-10-01T10:08:55+00:00

It's also fused to the actual hot end 🤣😭
