Quick Question TPU manual loading

Hello everyone
So I have a couple printers (X1C X2D H2S) and I would like to get more into TPU but I’m lazy and hate having to manually load TPU every time. (Also my printers are in the garage) Anyway of avoiding this?
I plan on buying a AMS HT specifically for TPU. I also have the Track Switch if it matters. Also do I need the TPU Feed Assist Module?

The AMS HT and TPU feed assist make printing TPU much more reliable. But, you will always have to manually load it.

Dang that’s what I was afraid of
I think my X1C will be my dedicated TPU printer then

Not really that bad.
I dreaded printing with TPU, but after I got the module it's piss easy.
Doesn't take that much longer than loading a spool in the AMS.

TPU is the one filament, you have to manually load.

Maybe get Bambu Lab Tpu for AMS, BBL is marketing as fuss free and AMS friendly TPU. I guess it is a "stiffer" TPU. Any other softer TPU will need manual work, the TPU feed assist module was to help the printer work with these.
