Comment on Tips for TPU?
Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 3 weeks ago
I just use my textured sheet and remove very carefully - but I tend to use harder TPUs which makes flexing the sheet more effective.
I have heard people say that TPU is the reason they still keep a glue stick handy and the Prusa material matrix says to use it on their smooth PEI sheet. And it suggests a polypropylene sheet is also applicable.

This is the first time I’ve had this much issue removing a print.
I knew it would stick fairly well on the textured PEI, but this was a whole new level. A bit surprised I didn’t peel it, to be honest.
I’m leaning the same direction as those people: Buying a stick and keeping it around for those few times I do use TPU. PETG and PLA is still 98% of what I print, and they both come off easily on textured and PLA easily on smooth.
The question I’m stuck with though: Textured with glue or smooth with glue for TPU?

I suspect that cleaning the glue off the textured sheets is a bigger pain in the butt than off the smooth. But I say that as someone who never tried to clean PVA off of TPU.
