Thank you!

Anyone have difficulty printing with TPU via the Ultimaker material station? Background: first print went fine, everything loaded up and the print was successful. I went to print a second time (same thing) and got error 56 - printer feeder filament pickup unsuccessful. note: the filament had retracted back into the material station by the time I started the second print. I tried 3 more times, checking the feeder tension, obstructions etc. Then I ran a small PLA print and it fed no problem...I'm thinking that last meter or so of the TPU filament, because it has been fed through a couple of times, is no good(?). I will try cutting off 2 meters and try again.

Thank you! I thought something was incorrect.

This is probably nothing but I just discovered it while waiting for a print to set up. I doesn't seem to affect anything but just doesn't look right (maybe I'm nuts though;). I have circled it in the photo, you will probably have to zoom in to see. Is this normal? it only occurs when the printer head is centre forward.
