TPU keeps slipping out of the extruder when printing

What does "slipping out of the extruder" mean? Where is out? There are multiple potential problems. The machine and toolhead used are also important info needed.

Generally, TPU must have a fully constrained path to the hob gear, and everywhere thereafter until it exits the nozzle. It will attempt to escape any gaps after the the hob gear, and to a lesser extent, it may attempt to explore new ways past the hob gear if it is allowed to enter without a tightly constrained path. Some extruders like an E3D Titan have a small insert below the hob gear that have a small PTFE tube to better constrain the path between the hob gear and hotend. This PTFE tube is cut with a wedge shape and should fit as tightly as possible between the hob gear and whatever idler type (bearing/dual gear) it leverages against. If the PTFE tube gets worn out over time or there is any gap or debris in this area, TPU might find a way to escape and cause problems.
