true, already ordered mine :smiley:

Ditto, I’ve order 4, one for each P1S.

I’ve also grabbed one of each actually available AMS friendly TPU, just 4 out 7.

How are there only 4 available colours on launch day‽

ah your brave :D, i want to test only 1 before getting more, to see if it really performs as advertised

for the TPU, i’m guessing it depends on the warehouse, it probably sold out some of the colours before you got there, this is not something new, they have a strange stock management for filaments

that being said, after seeing some videos, i struggle to call that TPU - at least in the traditional sense of it, it looks to be super hard, so it might have some interesting characteristics, but not what one usually expects from TPU, which makes sense, there would be no way to pass a soft filament through the AMS

They are only plates for the A1 mini left now.

Was wondering when the 1st post regarding new build plate comes out.
So this is essentially Bambu version of Biqu cryo plate ?

That’s the theory. Code ā€œsupertackā€ for an extra 10% off.

Oh too late :frowning: hate missing out on a discount :slight_smile:

I’m sorry. It took me a minute to realize that maybe not everyone got the alert email. I know how you feel, I hate missing a discount too.

beat me to it … oh well. :smile:

I hadn’t physically placed my order, but, had the build plates in my basket.

My health issues mean I can’t physically move for a period.

I just gained enough strength to complete the purchase and the big sized plates are already out of stock.

What utter (bad word).

The new TPU only had 4 out of the 7 available colours at launch, the build plates latest a couple of hours before stock was depleted.

BL goes out of its way to shoot itself in the foot.

A competent company would have sufficient stock at launch.

I didn’t receive an alert email either. What a shower of (another bad word) they are.

@PrinterMcgee the supertack discount code doesn’t work in the checkout for me. I had a new mini build plate in the basket.

I for sure thought we were going to get a Malc post today talking about how the UK customers were left behind again :hushed:

Gah! Spoke too soon :frowning:

Not quite, I didn’t say the U.K. as BL didn’t provide enough for any region. I checked them all. Australia seems fine, but, the US can’t get any size nir can most of the others.

Most territories couldn’t order all 7 of the new TPU colours as they were zero stock of many at launch.

No alert email for me either, but maybe that was a good thing because missing out now allowed me take the time to read through all the info rather than feel pressured to order quickly before it was too late.

Not 100% sold on the plate, but there’s probably no doubt I’ll buy one to try out. I don’t normally have any adhesion issues with PLA or PETG with either my Bambu smooth plate or my Wham Bam plate. This new one uses less power and generates less ambient heat in the room, but otherwise I’m not convinced that it solves any problems. And if it actually adheres as well as they claim, that in itself seems like it could be a problem. I particularly love the part where they point out that if you can’t get the print off, heat the plate hotter than the plate’s print temperature and remove it while the plate is still over-temp hot. In other words, just melt the print loose. :confused:

As far as the TPU for AMS, I’m not even 50% sold on that. I use TPU quite a lot, but never for multi-color, so I just use the external spool. I use TPU 95A and TPE 83A, but see no use (for me personally) for something with a hardness of 68D. That’s literally the shore hardness of construction hardhats. That said, I’m sure many others will have a use for something like that - and one day I may as well - so I guess it’s a good addition, but just something I’m glad I didn’t make a time-crunch, panic order on before realizing I don’t need it.

This is a big thing for me, no extra wasted costs in heating if not necessary.

I do find it amusing that on the day they launch an AMS friendly TPU, their brand new build plate can’t be used with it.

You’ll regret not having printed one when a brick falls from the sky.

For me, this is about wasting time until I expire.

What can I do with it is a good enough reason to try it for me.

Same. I print almost exclusivly on the smooth plates and love them. I’m curious about the new plates, but I’m also not sure how necessary they were? I guess we’ll see!

I’m curious to try this TPU for AMS. I got the impression too that it was like a bouncier hard plastic, vs a more rubbery tpu. From what I’ve seen, that is.

I just got it in black. I don’t even know what I’d do with the other colors! Ha. I guess it depends on what the surface properties are like though. Maybe it’ll end up being something I’ll want to use a lot! I’m making a model right now that has a handle portion to it. I was considering printing that portion out of TPU, but I’m also considering this new AMS TPU, depending on what it’ll be like. Like I don’t want a solid block of rubber, but I kind of would like something that feels different from the other materials I’m using for the rest of it.

I’m very curious at the least, and that’s the ultimate enemy of my wallet. Nothing has wrecked my finances more than curiosity. Well, except maybe my ex. Haha.
