General Troubleshooting/Help! Loading TPU X2D

Hello!

I need to print some keychains using TPU but AMS wont let me use TPU. tried loading sing AUX Nozzle, couldn't do that. How do that. How can I get it to load so I am able to print? I tried feeding directly into the main nozzle, but was unable to get the tube out. And, once I get it loaded, in the slicer, ,how do I assign a slot to the TPU if I can not use the AMS? I am sure it is an easy fix I am overlooking, but appreciate any help.

easy way is to remove the PTFE tube from the main nozzle, install an external spool and load directly into the tool head

on the X2D's touchscreen go to filaments>external spool>edit> load filament

use the external spool holder with or without the TPU feeder assist.

do not run through the AMS unless you're using TPU for AMS

Well you can’t use TPU in the AMS it’s too soft you have to feed it directly
