How do I set up my file for the Flashforge Adventurer 5M?
Drop it here. It opens in Convert with the Flashforge Adventurer 5M and Flashforge Generic TPU picked, and nothing converts until you click Convert.
Which build plate should I use?
Flashforge Generic TPU sets a bed temperature for each plate:
- Textured PEI plate: 60 °C
- Smooth PEI plate: 45 °C
- Cool plate: 60 °C
- Engineering plate: 60 °C
How fast can I print TPU?
Prusa suggests about 20 mm/s for flexible filament and at most 30 to 40 mm/s, or it can clog the nozzle or tangle in the gears (Prusa Knowledge Base). Flashforge Generic TPU caps flow at 3.5 mm³/s, and the slicer slows any move that would push more (slicer source).
Why is my TPU stringing?
Lower the nozzle toward 190 °C, the floor Flashforge Generic TPU declares, since a cooler nozzle strings less (Prusa Knowledge Base). Keep retraction short: Flashforge Generic TPU retracts 1.2 mm, and longer retraction can clog the nozzle (Prusa Knowledge Base).
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 OrcaSlicer ships, read at OrcaSlicer v2.4.2 (8500fcd). Where a filament profile leaves retraction unset, the table shows the printer profile's value.
