I know there are TPU versions that can go into the AMS 2 Pro, but I’m looking for a univeral TPU option. Is there a dryer, drybox, or other attachment that will let me print TPU from an inclosed humidity controlled space? Living in Florida, I routinely fight 50-60 percent humidity in the home. Anyone have any suggestions on how to keep TPU dry when printing in humid environments?
I have 2 ams HT. For tpu they are great, because they dry and you can feed the tpu through the tpu outlet, and the printer reads it as an ams. I love it more than any generic dryer..

I’ve modified my Sunlu S4 to provide autofeed for soft TPU. I keep the spool in the S4 and connect the filament through the external ports to my X1C & P1S. The PITA is that I have to manually feed the filament to the extruder, but then the autofeeder provides the slack needed to successfully print TPU 85A, I also store my TPU for AMS in the S4 when I don’t have it loaded into the AMS unit.
I should mention that the autofeeder takes up one spool position in the S4 but that’s a small price to pay for the convenience.

Thank you both and curse you both… LOL. I think I’m going for the AMS HT for TPU printing (no multi color needs yet) and the S4 for a engineering drying system. Appreciate both your inputs… looking for any and all information. Being new, I’m sopping this shhh…. stuff up! Thanks!
