I just did my very first TPU print after years of printing PLA and PETG, and I’ve gotta say: That stuff sticks like a mofo on the textured PEI plate…!!
The print turned out great and the default profile in BS needed very little tweaking.
I’m currently using Fiberology MattFlex 40D.

What do you guys use to ease the removal?
I’ve seen normal glue sticks, IPA and liquid glue made for 3D printing, but I figured it would be cool to ask the fine people here.

If you do use glue: Do you stick with a smooth PEI or maybe something else?

All feedback is appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

    Never tried it myself, but “functional print Friday” channel on YouTube uses IPA after printing with slow steady prying to remove stuck tpu. The IPA wicks under the print and releases it.
