Build plate recommendations for printing 95A TPU on A1 mini

Bambu Lab A Series Bambu Lab A1 mini

Hi everyone, I’ve recently got an A1 mini and it’s a great little printer. So far I’ve printed some PLA and a little PETG and so far I’m impressed and I’ve not any any issues.

I’d like to try printing 95A TPU as it’s supposed to be pretty good for printing drone + RC parts, but I’ve tried printing with TPU yet.

I’ve got some Sunlu 95A TPU, and I wanted to check what the best strat is getting it to stick and release from the build plate?

I’ve got both the textured and smooth PEI plates, and also a dryer but I wasn’t really what the best option is here?

I was planning to give the smooth PEI plate a go along with some glue stick, but I wasn’t really sure which ones was best? Or is it more a case of neither is best, they’re just different? Thanks

I’ve done a few test prints, and I’ve found the normal textured plate with no glue stick is OK.

I had to set the temp pretty low, I used 32C bed temp and is both stuck and released for me

On my A1 I use the Bambu Lab “Generic TPU” setting and that works great with the “Real” 95A filament that I’ve got. To prevent stringing I dry the TPU before printing. No glue, standard build plate.
