Bambu just released a spool holder for soft TPU. Interestingly its a dual model and shows both hot ends being fed. Are we going to get a software update to enable TPU printing from both hot ends? Or is that just showing TPU + PLA for support material? @SupportAssistant

This looks amazing. Thanks for the heads up. Hopefully they have an update coming to let us run 95a in the left nozzle.
Honestly it looks like total overkill, especially if the left spool is just for support material PLA. There are a few other models available that are much more simple.
Before I installed the BondTech extruder on my other printers, I had to use a horizontal spool holder when printing with soft TPU, and that setup worked really well.
They also added a few other H2D parts. The “Filament Guide Installation Aid” will be great to have, when I took it apart last time would have been very useful.

It looks pretty cool. Unusable for me though. If there was something like this that would instead hold 2 cereal containers I would print it in a heartbeat.

Also as a side note… always amazes me… who are these geniuses boosting Bambu Lab account?!

They have that riser for cereal boxes they link to from the wiki:
I tried that one. Had to hammer the two pieces together and then it Leaned forward like a fishing pole with a full roll. Oh and it holds the roll sideways
Yes I had to hammer mine in with a steel hammer with full force! I was surprised it did not crack. I told the designer and I think he adjusted the spacing. Have not had mine leaning… what material did you print it from?
Abs-GF is what I printed it out of. Because it sits all the way in the rear left, and its sideways, when I had fast movements from rear to front, it yanked the roll into the printer… Also had alot of filament sag when going from rear right to rear left.
Good to know, might print the official one from bambu after all.
Given the P and X series can use the 85A and 90A TPU, why no version for their MANY existing users rather than those who were lucky enough to grab the few in the first batch of the H2D?

I think mainly because bambu released 90A and 85A filament fairly recently. Im sure X1/P1 will have similar models soon, if not from bambu then from other designers.
I know how to print them, I have them both.
Just the idea that BL releases a model for the least rolled out model without even a mention of an upcoming P/X series version which has such a large installed user base is as usual, ill conceived.
Probably based on recent complaints. All of the sudden its easy to print tpu with another material, and even though theyve sold way more x1c overall, they may have sold a higher % of h2d recently. All that to say that most people complaining to support right now, are probably h2d owners and a decent amount of them are possibly tpu complaints from people printing shoes…Obviously a total guess

I saw that one, but I’m kind of hoping someone creates one like this Bambu one that will hold the cereal containers above the printer.
They have TPU loaded to both nozzles in the assembly video. Looks like tpu for ams though. Its a pretty genius design with the clockwork springs
Not sure what is the point of feeding TPU for AMS from that setup when it can be fed perfectly from AMS 2 or AMS HT… 
I guess you could do a multi color TPU prints with 85A and TPU for AMS for something like a shoe, hard TPU sole and soft TPU upper. But again you can just feed the TPU for AMS… from an AMS!
Yeah. I wonder if it would work with 95a in the left nozzle if we tricked it into thinking it was pla with all tpu settings.
As soon as a printer is open, im going to print the holder and give it a shot
