I look forward to your “The Definitive Guide to printing TPU (all hardness types) on Bambu Lab printers.”
If you know more, share it.
The BL guides worked fine when I read them and according to the other forum member, fine for them as well.
I am not saying you are not the expert you say you are, I am saying, others aren’t and need a guide to start the process given TPU is a difficult material for most to use. With TPU 95A requiring the user to attach to the external spool they have likely not used if they have an AMS. This may be the first time.
For 90A & 85A, having to bypass the external spool and going direct to the nozzle, many have never conceived of that. Those of us who have had printers before BL made things easy, have more experience with troubleshooting.
You missed the point again.
What I said is its overcomplicated without needing to.
Whats with people in this forum just being offended or going on the offence themselves the moment someone corrects them ?
Also yeah telling a newbie to use a 0.6 to find out about tpu is counter intuitive. Its not gonna make it easy for him, you are throwing a whole other layer of settings for him to setup and learn, and thats not really simple . Not to mention you push him to buy something he doesnt really need, when he can just do the same and better right now with the nozzle he has
and its not bambulab printers. The only thing special about them is the gimmicks and the firmware. The rest is barebone CoreXY , and even then, the EXACT same thing apply to kartesians as well.
The first sample I posted was from a neptune4max, the mandalorian one is from H2D.
also you literally said you cannot print it with 0.4. Quoting the guidance doesnt change the meaning of your words, you told him he cant. And thats missinformation.
Not reading what was written or willfully ignoring doesn’t;t help anyone, it doesn’t make you look great either.
You see that word according, it is an important part of the sentence.
It clearly states that the left part is based on what BL says and that there is doubt.
Most people can read that.
Again, I look forward to your guidance document, as you have much to share, but you currently appear unwilling to do so. I imagine we can all learn much from you.
Yeah, one. Telling the printer it has a 0.6 mm nozzle.
I didn’t, I said that THEY did, remember that thing you chose not to read.
You appear to enjoy telling everyone to ignore the advice available without providing any competing information.
You are arguing for the sake of it. Your profile is hidden, which in my experience says a lot.
I will no longer engage with you, as you jump in with no advice, tell people they must follow it and then get annoyed when you are called on it.
I will read the expert guidance you publish, which will render the BL guidance useless. As the purchaser of 85% of all TPU in an unknown country (could be the Vatican), you have much to share.
Wow, that’s a lot of words.
Not gonna lie — I stopped reading the moment you implied I don’t read. Before you start quoting guidance, wikis, or YouTube, take a second to understand what you’re actually saying. When you write “you cannot do that,” it means just that — you can’t. Doesn’t matter who you cite. You just told someone it’s not possible, so now they won’t even try. That’s the problem. End of story.
Honestly, this is exhausting. Your sarcasm is enough to keep me on the sidelines, watching while people struggle with TPU unnecessarily.
You’re exactly the reason I rarely post anything usefull.
And actually — thanks for the reminder. I’ll be removing everything I’ve shared. Seems you’ve got enough TPU and multi-material experience to handle all the support going forward.
Papa carissime, numquam Chicagum adii, sed audio eam iucundam esse. Quaeso mihi aditum ad sanctissimam tuam scientiam TPU concede. Possumne etiam aliquid de itinere temporali inspicere?
Mehercle, ignosce, sed omnes nostrae machinae temporales in obstructione extrusionali temporis haerent — quidam druidae stulti ex Lutetia (fortasse Getafix?) temptaverunt spacium-temporis filamentum per foramen 0.4 mm exprimere. Resultatum? Catastropha intergalactica cum odore PLA.
Quoad TPU… forsitan cogitabo de illuminatione vulgi proximis hebdomadibus, si satis otii habeo ad sacrum librum scribendum. Sed noli sperare cito — etiam Obelix minus occupatus est cum menhiris quam ego cum proxima versione ducis.
Esun 95a works fine in the ams-ht. It feeds fine through a 3d printed splitter to the right nozzle that is shared with an ams pro. Left nozzle uses a 1st gen ams. I print a good bit of tpu and use pla as support.
@MalcTheOracle - this is what confuses me please, if I want to set up to print TPU and some other material and leave set up then I route the 95A through the dedicated slot to the right nozzle and connect the AMS to the left nozzle. But, I believe Bambu suggests doing most of your printing from you right nozzle which means if the bulk of my print (i.e. electrical enclosures with seals) is not the TPU then I am not printing the bulk of the prints with the correct nozzle. Also there will also be non-TPU prints using the AMS on the left nozzle, again not using the correct nozzle. Seems like a catch 22 situation. Don’t use TPU in AMS and must be on right nozzle but don’t use AMS on left nozzle for bulk of printing so there is no optimal solution here and I think this is the frustration here after shelling out $2300 in my case, there should be a Bambu level of easiness solution here
The simple solution to this is a splitter inside the chamber and dual feed tubes on the external spool. That how mine is setup and its always ready to print TPU without doing anything to the printer.
You don’t even need a splitter. unplug the right ptfe and drop the filament straight down. Use a shelf above or print a spool holder (what I just did) 95 from sunlu worked fine. Printed well and hadn’t been dried in a month. (in bag for that time) 12 hour print. no hangups like I’ve always had with same on my external mount for my X1C. I think the OP protest too much.
Printed with 95A, 90A 85A, and Siraya Tech TPU Air down to 65A print settings and I’ve never had anything but perfect prints on my H2D. It just needs a direct, low-resistance path to the right hotend. Bambu provides a model for this exact purpose and it’s never failed me
