I’m looking for a multi-material printer that can also handle TPU.

AFAIK are most multi-material systems not made for TPU, so printers like the BambuLab P1S with AMS or Anycubic Kobra with the ACE Pro won’t work (I would like to have a printer where I can just load TPU without disconnecting anything. And I know BambuLab has a TPU for AMS, but 40€ for 1kg is a little much).

The only printers for hobbyist that really support it are the Prusa XL or BambuLab H2D, or did I miss any?

    I currently print TPU 90A with my Anycubic Vyper and it works great even thou it’s a bowden setup. It’s IMO a great material if you need something that is kinda soft, you should really try it out! But from what I read the MMU doesn’t really like TPU, but I think there are multiple versions of the MMU so maybe the newer ones are capable of handling TPU? Gonna check that again.

    Also I thought I read somewhere that TPU/PLA didn’t have the same problems like PETG/PLA or PLA/ABS/ASA, but I will check it again. Thanks for the input!
