Notes

Snapmaker forum reply on U1 TPU jams: run hotter than recommended for flow and adhesion, fan at max to compensate, feed the filament straight into the extruder to minimize feed length, and disable empty-spool detection (TPU falsely triggers it). Official recommendation is 95A or harder; matte TPU worked down to 85A. Clear a stubborn hotend by pushing PLA or PETG through.
