How do I set up my file for the Creality Ender-3?
Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Creality Ender-3 and Velleman TPU picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.
Do I need to dry TPU?
Yes, Bambu Lab marks drying as required for TPU, at 70 °C for 8 hours in a forced-air oven (Bambu Lab wiki). Wet flexible filament is hard to print (Prusa Knowledge Base).
Where do these values come from?
From the profiles Cura ships, read at Cura main (42dbd93). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
