I hear pla is a good support and should remove easily but it doesn’t. I’m trying to print a ball and the pla adheres to the TPU so I can’t remove the support without ripping the TPU print.
PLA is not inherently a “good” support material, and it certainly does not always remove easily. That claim is context-dependent and is often repeated without qualification.
Support behavior depends on multiple variables: the model geometry, support interface settings, temperatures, cooling, and the material being supported. Without that context, the statement has little practical meaning.
If you want useful feedback from this community, you need to provide specifics. Screenshots of the model as it sat in the slicer and, ideally, the 3MF file are the minimum. Without that, any advice given here is guesswork.

I’ll give pic later. I don’t know how to post a new topic. I bought a creality filament dryer. I’ll try that next time, but I started printing after I just opened the package for the TPU. I’m new to 3D printing so any hints and suggestions are appreciated.
