What to do instead
- Your printer's bed maxes out at 0°C, but TPU 87A needs at least 40°C for reliable adhesion.
- Try a compatible filament for your Markforged Mark Two — PLA, PETG, and ABS are good options.
- If you need TPU 87A specifically, you'll need a printer with a hotend capable of 210°C+ nozzle.
