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’m super happy with my formbot Marathon IDEX, works perfectly fine with TPU (though i did have to adjust one screw guide in the extruder so it doesn’t eat the filament). it’s not very well known, since they don’t hand them out to influencers etc. The discord is pretty active and lots of helpful people there.
made with all standard components, regular Klipper firmware, so i know i can replace parts if anything ever breaks.
And IDEX in mirror/copy mode for printing multiple parts at twice the speed is great when you need it.
