Does TPU require different temp setting than PLA/ABS?

Interesting. Their PLA and ABS are sold under the name Overture now. Perhaps these TPUs are leftover inventory?

Technically slightly different temps but they can all overlap and more importantly it can be a pain on non-direct drive printers. Don't want any gaps anywhere in the feed.

Slightly. Far more important is your extruder setup... if you have a bowden tube and you try to print with TPU, you're most likely going to be disappointed.

Why? It's like trying to shove a piece of (cooked/wet) spaghetti down a long, bendy tube.. it doesn't work very well.

I hate to disagree but it works fine for me on a CR 10 with the flexible filament MOD… Never really have any problem whatsoever… I mean above and beyond having to tune in any particular filament, etc.

Same. Had a stock Anycubic Chiron and printed beautifully detailed pieces despite being so flexible.

Yes, TPU usually requires slightly higher nozzle temps compared to PLA. Print speed, retraction speed, island crossing, and retraction distances will all need to be adjusted as well.

It works perfectly well on bowden printers that aren't total garbage. Even works on the cheapo ender 3s. You just need to slow down print speeds to like 15mm/s.

I guess I'm showing my age but the thumbnail look like a deal on 8 mm movie reels. I used to buy those all the time for my 8 mm movie camera back in the 70s.

From what I understand Overture is a Chinese knockoff. You can tell by the product detail, they use the brackets on most of their products.

Yes, TPU runs at a lower temp. Has a lower melting point.

Overture is awesome filament, I have been using their black for a while now, zero adhesion, clogging, crappy print, etc issues. Best filament so far (I've used at least 10+ brands). The included work surface decal is definitely an added bonus, works great to cover up old scratched surface. High quality stuff!

I never claimed it to be a bad filament. It is a Chinese knockoff of Amazon basic filament. It possible they were originally supplying it for Amazon?

Someone pointed out the brackets being used in the product description on Chinese sold product on Amazon... which so far has been true from my experience.
