Since 3D printing is nothing more than automated welding, the moste problems more looks like “seen before” than a “new problem at all” just a short question:
Does anyone have experience with highly resistant 4mm Teflon cores with 20% carbon fiber to guide the filament thure a AMS?
Were topics like TPU in the AMS (which could not yet be implemented) already being discussed with the experts of the push-pull systems in the area of aluminum wire transport systems. Things like roller geometry of “push pull” or “soft push” etc.? Since the AMS in combination with the direct extruder is nothing else than a “Push Pull” system…
Your comment was on my mind for a few days, thank you.
I think it’s a company from Shenzhen, Shanghai and Austin, Texas - there’s definitely a lot of knowledge in there. It will probably be a question of whether you want to make something stiff stable or something soft also possible and then the market will come into balance and the greatest demand will win by making sure that the area of selcetion works properly. If Shenzhen is more about electronics and softwear not like Qingdao were is more all about mechanical details.
The biggest demand wins, I don’t really know whether it makes sense with TPU on Bambulab. Because:
When I think of TPU, I don’t think of a closed case, bedplate adhesion and things like that. There were anyway two printers on my list, one like Bambulab and one in the belt printer stile. I don’t think I will invest much time for Bambulab and TPU. In German we say: other mothers also have pretty daughters… And there is no such thing as a jack of all trades. This probably applies to providers and buyers… For outdoor use, TPU with a stiff core like PETG makes more sense on a printer that is not limited in Z anyway, at least for homeowners.
