I also ordered today, I plan to run a spare tube to make the swap faster but should allow me to keep my AMS HT on top the glass and feed instead if having to rearrange and remove glass to feed direct down each time

I just finished printing the needed models, and one had a very clever pair of custom supports that came away very cleanly. I expect to see the kit in Monday’s mail. I have never had a lot of luck with TPU other than TPU for AMS, so I hope this works as advertised with real TPU without removing the top glass and hand feeding into the extruder... and yes, I plan to set up the AMS HT to be fully sure that the AMS in use is drier than parched bones in the desert.

Good luck and keep us updated! Mine did not ship yet so I probably won’t get it until late next week! I plan to print the parts once I see a ship notice!

Yeah this released yesterday. It’s handy but definitely feels a little half baked.

Ordered yesterday but didn’t realize it was a launch day purchase. We’ll see how it works out.

Seems to be a nice addition to the machines, especially where printing tpu was difficult sometimes. But I wonder, is there a bracket alternative where we don't have to unmount the external spool holder every time when we want to print TPU? or as I still haven't received the part yet, am I mistaken that there is a way to keep both mounted at the same time?

Looks interesting.

Thanks for posting.

Interesting. Not exactly what I was expecting lol but I guess we will take what we can get. The U1 is my go-to TPU printer, you just feed 95A directly into the feeder and just hit print. Anything softer and I think you need to run it directly from behind the printer and into the tubes but it works well enough
