Print finished. Made a mistake by setting seam position to “random” instead of “aligned”, causing unnecessary movements and thus stringing. But all three printed parts are Good Enough to be used :)

50% Update. No problem with getting the TPU to stick to the structured PEI print bed. 2 of 3 objects done. Obviously far more stringing compared to PLA or PETG, but not a big problem IMHO, can be fixed after print has finished. After the print finished I heated the bed to 70°C and removing the parts was no problem. And no damage to the PEI plate, AFAICS. Now printing two lens covers with TPU.

@ulyssesalmeida I can wholeheartedly suggest the Bambu Lab A1 mini that you see in my pictures. And to use PLA filament. You will be up and printing in no time. Just take the time to read the manual and make sure you keep the print bed clean.
