Well, I have a lowly Ender 3 v2 and even tho TPU isn't listed as a filament (presumably "blacklisted" - or perhaps more properly, there simply isn't a profile for TPU) I print TPU anyway. I started with the standard Creality 0.4 mm nozzle Filament and Process settings and simply changed PA, Flow Rate, Retraction, speeds, etc. and made new User profiles.

This is not just an issue for the Ender printers. I have same with Neptune 4 Pro. Its just impossible to select TPU filament for this printer. And it is not possible to create a custom tpu filament for the printer either. Its been driving me nuts trying to find a solution. It sort of makes OrcaSlicer a bit useless if there are some crazy limitations that prevents you from printing with mainstream filaments

[Ergonomicmike]

Well if by "select TPU" filament you mean to have Orca actually recognize that you're printing with TPU, then you might be correct. (Although I just now opened "Filaments" in the latest dev Nightly and I see that there's a "My generic TPU" available. (But I didn't try it.))

Still, I don't understand why my workaround won't work for you. As above, I start with a PLA Filament preset, change the temps, disable retract, etc. and rename the Filament with TPU in its name. Same with Process. I start with PLA, slow the speed down, etc. and save the Process with TPU in its name. I've been printing TPU fine with Orca, even tho I haven't selected TPU filament proper.

Why should someone HAVE to do a workaround on something like this?

[Ergonomicmike]

Because someone decided that an Ender 3 v2 cannot print TPU.

It's crazy to me we can't choose TPU. I have upgraded my hotend to direct drive specifically for this and now my slicer is the problem?! lol
