Zortrax M200-Pythone Flex
Hello everybody,I have a problem with printing TPU filament Python Flex on my Zortrax M200. I know it's not dedicated for my printer, but does anybody have some experience using this filament on this printer? I tried recommended settings for this material in Z SUIT but it just doesn't print well. If anybody has some tip or experience please help me Thank you

slower printing speed, 1.3mm retraction at 30mm/s and higher printing temperature

Also talk to SirFloyd - he's just been all through the flexible filament setup on a zortrax. https://3dprintboard.com/member.php?34060-SirFloyd

Hey Jugrina,These are my settings for printing (Infill is of course dependant on what kind of properties are you looking for). I still get some stringing between the models, but the printing is really clean, almost as good as rigid materials.

First layer Flow ratio: 100%
First layer gap: 0.37 mm
Raft Enabled: Yes
Raft layers: 4
Platform-raft gap: 0.28 mm
Raft Density: 100%
Raft Print speed: 100%
Raft Flow ratio: 100%
Print speed: -50%
Extruder flow ratio: -3%
Top layer infill (%): 100

Extrusion temp.: 233
Platform temp.: 65
Retraction speed: 34

I used raft, becouse the model is really tall and needs extra support. Also i have a larger XY gap, becouse i needed to remove the raft - you are gonna have to play with that.The bottom was still ugly in the end so i just cut it on a table saw.Also, always have fan speed on MAX. And printing speed on lowest possible. The other most important thing is retraction speed and distance.Hope this helps you.
