RECORD LOCATED / 2026.09.01
TPU 95A drying and stringing diagnosis
The record separates material conditioning from speed, travel, and retraction changes. Dry the material first, then change one variable at a time so a stringing improvement can be attributed to a real cause.

TECHNICAL NOTES///
TPU 95A drying and stringing diagnosis with an ordered retest path.
PUBLIC KNOWLEDGE VIEW3D Printing / project
GOALReduce TPU stringing without hiding the effect of moisture or excessive travel.
EQUIPMENT
- Creator 5 Pro
- Drying setup
- Calibration model
MATERIALS
- TPU 95A
STEPS
- Verify dryness and record how it was achieved.
- Run a controlled temperature/speed test.
- Reduce open-air travel where practical.
- Tune retraction only after the earlier checks.
- Save the successful project with the material identity.
TROUBLESHOOTING
- Wet filament can imitate a retraction problem.
- Changing several variables at once makes the result difficult to trust.
SAFETY / LIMITS
- Follow the filament maker's drying limits and keep the material away from contamination.
RESULTNeeds retest; no universal TPU values are claimed.
