I've bought it once from local producer. Printed fine, destroyed my build plate. 😑😑
What surface was on the build plate? TPU adheres to some surfaces almost as well as it adheres to itself.
Standard PEI build plate, I've printed normal TPU before and it was somewhat hard to take off, but not to this degree.
Oh dear, noted. Think i'll layer some gluestick on my buildplate as a cheap releaser
Isopropyl alcohol. a little dab under the print will help it come loose.
Though it is best to use a release agent with TPU, like a glue stick.
I damaged my stock Snapmaker U1 build plate with a print of 2 layers TPU 85A topped with a solid PETG print.
TPU 85A only comes off the build plate because you can bend and peel it off. The PETG on top of it stopped me from doing that. It was a dumb idea.
