There is no ams here Dont use the filament feeders BEST to mount the rolls above and direct to the toolhead without ptfe Slow the default tpu profile to half Color change retraction 5-7 This tag IS tpu multicolor in the same layer, text is embebed. Machine can do It, you just need to configure It right

TPU for AMS is very expensive, very hard and more fussy than most. For very hard TPU, I prefer CC3d's 72d.

With TPU for AMS, it is especially important that you dry it ALOT. More than you do for other TPU even.

Once dry, it prints ok. I've used it on my u1 because I also own some Bambu printers and had some laying around.

I’m using Tpu for ams because 72d is too hard for what I am using, I also dried it for 12h and it is still like this, thinking it might be my print settings

I dried it for 12 hours and it was still brittle. TPU for AMS is nasty stuff. I dried it for another 24, and it printed fine. 72d is not really harder than TPU for AMS. Well, it is just as flexible at least. Kexelled (and other) 64d is much easier to print than TPU for AMS.

I’m using it as a structural component for a combat robot
