Issues Printing with TPU

Troubleshooting

I'm using Elegoo TPU 95 on my A1. It prints directly from my Space Pi dryer- so it was dried for about 6 hrs before printing. I started printing when moisture was 15%.

The first time, it printed for about 20 minutes and then it just started printing air. The filament didn't seem tangled, but it was stuck. I stopped the print and tried again.

Then the filament just has issues loading over and over again. It's loaded, tight, but won't extrude. I swapped the hot end for a hardened steel end to see if that would be better. It wasn't.

Finally I got it to start printing again, but again, after 20 minutes it just started printing air again. There was also a ton of stringing at the top of the print and then air.

I'm using generic settings but this is unbelievably frustrating.
