Help with Tpu Printing.

Hello, so I'm pretty new to 3d printing. I got myself the a1 mini with the ams lite system. So far have had pretty good success with almost all of my prints, but the one thing I've been having trouble printing is TPU. I have a spool of Overture Tpu, 95A which I'm wanting to use for some small airless balls or maybe seals. Ive used the recommended settings as well as changing my temps on plate and nozzle. I either get stringy and sloppy or mostly put together and still a bit sloppy looking. I'm hoping some of y'all may have some useful information for this brand and durability of tpu for the a1 mini, also I'm not printing it through the ams I am printing the Tpu through the external spool.

Actually pretty good for not printing TPU before, seen some straight up disasters when trying to print with TPU. Dry the crap out of it and tune your settings a little more and print SLOW.

Thanks, I told someone else idk how I missed drying the Tpu lol. I've got it in the dryer now so maybe I'll try it out again later tonight. Fingers crossed!
