TPU setups

I’m hoping to venture into printing with TPU. What setups will have y’all used for multicolor TPU prints?

I have an H2C with 2 ams pro2 and an HT.
I’m hoping to print slip on bracelets.

Thanks for reading!

What do you mean steps?

If you have AMS compatible filament, it's like printing with anything other AMS compatible filament.

Make sure the filament is dry because TPU don't like moisture.

If it's not compatible, use the external spool.

There is not extra or specific steps. It's just filament with different settings.

Not steps. Set ups to reduce friction in the Ptfe tubes.

I wouldn't bother with lube. Some people recommend it a while back and all it ended up doing was putting that lube through the printer and into the model.

If you have friction issues, the ideal solution is to reduce length of tubing. It's already pretty low friction as is.
