I think you would need to actually create a drawing for what you describe and export it as a file for the slicer to generate the G-code.

If it's just a flat piece you are printing then a raft seems pointless, try the print without a raft. Disable raft in the slicer first.

Draw a 200x100 shape with your holes in whatever software...

It depends on how much you want to spend, what you would like to print and how big are the things you want to print.
A good place to start would be to look for 3D printer reviews on Youtube.

The slicer sets the layer height by adjusting the 'Z' axis height, not by how much the filament is squashed after being extruded.

I have a Qidi XC-F pro and you can turn the filament sensor off or on in the settings screen, assume yours will have something similar.

There should be a slicer setting that prevents travel over printed parts, that might help.

I've made some paragraph breaks, feel free to change any of it

Dunno, I think in Prusa slicer if you put overhangs in the search it might come up with something ?
There must be You tube videos on overhang problems.

Perhaps you need to go slower for overhangs which will give the filament more time to cool and set

Sounds as if the extruder gear teeth could be clogged up from filament grinding.
A you tube search will probably give you some examples of that.
Also check that filament can be pulled from the...

You seem unhappy that you have not had a reply on the same day of your post.
You do realise that there are no paid contributors here, only voluntary ones?

You could perhaps email and start a dialogue with Qid, they usually try and help.

The previous reply did say maybe, it also said it would not stop on, which makes it a pretty pointless waste of time doing it.

Okay, just so I understand the situation, you work in the timing belt...

From looking at the price of TPU, which is anything from £40-£102 per kilo reel and the time and energy cost to produce what you want for your commercial product experiment, perhaps you should offer...

From comments I've seen on this forum, Sketchup is a poor choice for producing STL files.

Plenty of free cad programs on the internet that work well for producing suitable printable files for 3D...

I've put a couple of paragraph breaks in your post, please feel free to change it back if you don't like it.

The link you posted only goes to a picture of a miniature building !

For the last 2-3 years I've barely used anything else except ASA and it's basically my go to filament.
I do have an enclosed printer though and use an all metal hot end.
Personally I don't use the...

Check for clogged extruder gears caused by filament grinding.

Williams in 1981 and Tsuji and Miyauchi in 2001 had the same question ” is PLA is biodegradable”. They have written white papers around the subject and are featured in the book Biomaterials...

From that article about PLA being biodegradable.....

PLA: PLA is a biodegradable material that can degrade rapidly and eventually decompose into natural substances. It is more environmentally...

Set the slicer to variable layer height, this should help but not eliminate the gap problem by making the layer height thinner where a curved surfaces occurs.

The seam appears because of the layer...

From previous threads on here, Sketchup is not very good for creating useable STL files to slice and generate g-code for your printer.

Plenty of free design software available, personally I use...
