Lots of stringing but as I understand that's normal for TPU. Printed at 225⁰C on a 30⁰ bed, stock Ender 3 S1. 0 retraction, 0.93 flow, 35mm/s for most speeds

I'm not able to load your Pic but I've found aggressive dehydration helps with tpu stringing. As with any residual stringing, a quick cleanup with a butane torch works well.

How would you suggest going about aggressively dehydrating it?

[–] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Run it in a dehydrater for 6h prior and during print

And scream at it. Calling it a worthless piece of noodle helped the most for be.
