Airless soccer ball with TPU

I have been trying to print one of the “Airless” type sports balls with tpu on a workhorse with .5 print head but have gotten nothing but about 30 failed prints. Has anyone here had success with this?

Hold up let me trouble shoot check the retraction & speed settings then come back here on this thread

I have tried everything from 10mm/s to 60mm/s

As long as your sure you cleared the chamber that’s somewhere to start then I would ask the people on YouTube because they have I just want the print chamber clear first

TPU isn’t great for the airless balls in the first place (at least if you’re going for full-size), but without any description of how it’s failing to print, I can’t offer anything but to make sure your support is dialed in, and do some retraction towers to get it calibrated.
