Can you just expand the sentence. Which setting you want to use and What you want to do in setting.!?

I mean the temperature settings for TPE. i tried printing with different extruder temperature level but the filament does not melt and come out of extruder ike how it works with ABS. the tpe filament keeps bending near the extruder motor. Im not sure if im duin anything wrong or wether TPE material wont support.

I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?
I think the teflon part where the filament goes in needs to be super close to the motor and roller so it wont bend.
