Thanks a bunch for the tutorial, Ian! 😊
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you for the video! Just got my P1S and I am loving it. I've enjoyed your FPV videos so I'm excited to see your vids about this printer. Thank you for all you do!
I had to search out this video, as it's the best guide I could find to printing with TPU. I needed it when I actually began my TPU journey. Prints came out fine and dandy and the splitter works marvelously. Cheers!
My i have the link to the splitter. Same experience as you.
Thank you so much for sharing your settings! I was at my wits end until I came across your vid. Thanks!
Thank you I enjoyed your video even though I’m two months late to it I printed one of those wire connectors just like you and it was horrible so now I went to the one that has the sockets in it and oh my God it’s life-changing. Anyway thanks again no clogs and happy days
Thanks Ian. I just got my first printer which is a P1S combo and I learned more in this 11 minute video than the few dozen other videos I’ve watched. I’ve been using the included pla while getting used to the slicer and printing in general. This video gave me the pep talk I needed. Gonna give some fpv prints a try.
Fpv prints? Like lithophane images?
@@madlad1. FPV is First Person View It’s a term for the type of drone I fly. It has a camera and I see what it sees through my goggles. TPU parts are essential for arm guards, antenna mounts, action camera mounts etc.
Thank you so much. I was prepping to print with TPU and didn't know the setup and this helped 100%
Thsnk you! Waiting for my P1S. This is super informative and useful! Keep it up!
Thanks for the video, I just ordered a P1S so looking forward to experimenting with it
Excited to try out some TPU tonight on my X1C! Thanks for the video!
So the flexible boat is called a BENDCHY, right? 😊
My brain hurts now 😅
I see what you did there
thumbs up, but a vocal "booooo"
Get out. Go. Think about what you've done (well done on the dad joke, you magnificent bastard)
😂👍🏻
Thank you Ian. Fantastic Video and incredibly informative, i have learned a lot watching this. I too recently bought a P1S and im quite new to 3d printing.
Yes! Thanks for this video!
Thanks this answers a few questions I had for TPU on my X1C
Thanks so much for this video. I was trying to figure out how to set everything up on my own to print TPU 95A HF on my P1S and I was really struggling with Bambu Studio (it's not intuitive). Your video did the trick. Perfect!
very good review for this i have a few friends that were scared to print tpu on there bambu labs printers and i told them just watch and follow this video now there all printing tpu on there p1p's and p1s's
Seen a fair few reviews of the P1S but all are using the AMS. Great to see how it works without it. Great job
I have a new P1S Combo and am keen to try out TPU. Your video was incredibly useful for detailing the process. Thanks!
Very well done, thank you for the video
Thanks for the video. I thought flexibles are no go for bambu, but you showed us. Now I have decided to go for Bambu, but after Sept. 20. Excellent!!
Thank you, this was extremely helpful!
Ive only just gotten into 3d printing. I have the bambu x1 carbon on the way and am doing all the research i can. I want to hit the ground running when it comes in. Thank you very much for this video as everything ive seen said tpu was a no go for the bambu.
Most of the issues with TPU are with the AMS not the printer itself. Same with abrasives. The printer itself can handle TPU and abrasives no problem.
@@conorstewart2214 AMS NOT Compatible - on bambu site
Soooo helpful thank you !
Thanks! This helped a lot!
I used your json file preset and got sainsmart tpu and on my x1c its perfect. Just awesome. Thanks for the work you do.
Where did you load in the .Json file on Bambu studio?
@@califpv O i get it. I had the same problem.. Import file, Very top left corner (file) Import, Bottom choice. There you go..
Great tutorial! thx
I am so happy I found this, great vid, you got my sub
working on selling my ender 3 v2,anycubic vyper,and rostock max v4 to get one of these.this video sold me on getting one asap.thank you
Thanks.
Thanks for the tip
Thanks for this. I learned the hard way the AMS was not compatible with TPU. Probably should have read the instructions. It didn't reach the spool and I was very lucky to be able to pull it out without it snapping. Lesson learned.
I've learned it the hard lesson, too xd
you helped me, so thanks:)
Useful information
very helpful thank you
Keep up the good work mate, you got a sub!
Thank you Ian!
Fantástico video. Gracias
Thanks
Danke!
Very helpful, thankyou.
Another great video. Thanks
Thanks man
Thank you so much!)
BRAVO......THANKS
Epic, this is exactly what I needed. The Reddit boiz were just calling everyone who thought TPU could be used in the AMS stupid, and not actually offering any useful information 😆
First time TPU user here, this video was very helpful. Ian, thank you very much!
If you disconnect the PTFE tube connector from the other side you have the small piece of PTFE tube to push straight into 👍🏻
Yea I always prefer to leave the connector on so I don’t let the ptfe get pulled back in
How do I add the tpu profile
File > Import > Import Configs
thank you
good video !
On bambulab side, they could really upgrade their software so you don't need those special steps to select the external spool !
the just released a new firmware which does exactly that 🙂
Thanks for the info and insight. With the Y adapter for the filament in the back, I assume you still have to retract the filament until the tubing is clear? If so, what is the purpose of the adapter? Is it just so you don't have to disconnect the tubing from the AMS every time?
Thanks. I have the confidence now to try some 95A on my P1P. You're not from the same milieu as Russell Brand by any chance? You both have the same "let's be perfectly clear here" kind of delivery. As a Yank (not a wank, that's different), it sounds like that's the way English was made to be spoken. It's refreshing to hear.
How do you release TPU to change to another TPU color? Also what happens when you run out of TPU? The last time I did this the TPU got jammed up in the extrud6snd I had to take it all apart and get it out. Not a pleasant time. Thanks
no radiomaster pocket review or has your unit not arrived ?
Usually radiomaster is your thing so I had looked for it especially since you are always looking for radio in that form factor.
I wonder if that could be our next compact beginners radio for all the kids in the next summer camp cause we have to exchange a whole fleet of these, the 12 we had once.
It is an affordable compact one to get all you need to start.
Hard tpu or hard carbon tpu work quite good with the ams. Just modify a pla profile for the tpu
Tpu 95A ? 🤔
@@jean-nicolasmenu-galinier8221 extrudr Flex Hard is shore hardness D58. definitly harder than 95A. still gets stuck in the ams from time to time but not that often.
@muhkuh0816 Je cherche définitivement un mode pour le TPU dans l'AMS, mais je ne le trouve pas ! Je suis sûr que c'est possible, mais je ne trouve pas ! J'aimerais le trouver avant de me la procurer !
Bambu now sells a 4 to 1 adapter like on the A1 for the X1.
Just ordered the x1, the news about not able to use tpu with ams was a huge bummer. but still think its a good printer.. been running my ender 3pro since launch. trying to convert it to an idex printer, just waiting for parts :)
It's a bummer for sure it would of been a dream to get the ams to work but hopefully Bambu has something up the sleeves ;)
@@josefdahari well we are getting there. we already have stronger gears for the feeder.
hydra mod, silica gel storage. even heated ams. i got the combo one. just so i could tinker with the ams.
@@Just4FunRC absolutely dude. Once the tpu with ams gets working properly it will be amazing.
I've tried to simply remove the PTFE tube and leave the AMS attached but in the BambuStudio it gave me the run around until I unplugged it. I'm not sure if there was a setting I missed but I hope to figure it out because that is an annoying part.
Could you just add a switch to turn off the drive for one of the filament handler bays? That way you can still do multi filament.
Thanks for the Video, how do you add the TPU settings to the machine though?
Nice vid. Ian, or chat, do you have any recommendations for a 3d printer like the P1S but with dual extruder?
I want to be able to have multi material printing capabilities so I plan on selling my ender 3 v2 neo to get the p1s. I would get the A1 since its much cheaper but I dont feel like having to get my own enclosure or anything.
You REALLY need to use PTF Tube on to allow for the best path for the TPU.. ask me how I know... I had issues with Y adapter also, the inside had a LIP that kept catching the filament. Watching to see what you did.
Yea I usually fit it as I mentioned I was just one handed for this.
@@MadRC did you figure out a fix for the Y? I really want to either remodel the existing Y's or find a good model and print it. I believe I had supports accidentally selected, need to try a reprint of that. These machines are so fun!
Any idea how much the pressure advance value matters for TPU? Just for fun I ran a test, and found I had to run the bowden settings just to start to see a change in the lines. I ended up at .26, an order of magnitude higher than the default. Maybe it doesn't matter at the speeds TPU prints at, so no one ever mentions it. We'll see if my prints improve!
Great video. Can't find the setting :(

So I’m a bit too afraid to use it without first buying an active drybox for the spool - my filament is stored in a dryboxthat’s a big enclosed industrial cabinet and I might consider drilling a hole in it though.
Is that the gold dual sided textured plate that came with the printer? And did you not use any glue? I need to print tpu now and im afraid to ruin the build plate
What do you think the best printer for tpu is?
TPU 95A should be fine at a fairly slow speed, more flexible stuff will likely be more problematic? I have flexible 65a, 85a and 85a, filaments & for the very soft stuff the extruder tensioner will need to be relaxed as in my experience the softer filaments will just get chewed up in the gears otherwise. I would also not fancy trying to push very flexible filament into/aling the bowden tube, its likely to be hard work.
Do you need to leave the front door open or take off the glass top with the P1S ? The website (bambu) says to remove the top glass but it also says that for PLA and I dont. Just curious as I have my AMS up there.
i have latest version of both orca slizer and bambu studio, but TPU option as filament does not exist.
neither generic nor bambu. The rest exist.
@Mads Tech, so if i understand good, with Y mod i can load in the sllicer external TPU and multicolor PLA on AMS, can i print combined TPU/PLA in the same process switching PLA colors fused on top of TPU?
Didn’t show the important. what is the speed for TPU printing on bambu?
I just checked and his slicer profile is available for download in the description. Hope that helps.
The maximum print speed is defined by the "Max volumetric Speed" in the filament settings.
The "Generic TPU" profile has a "Max volumetric Speed" of 3.2 mm3/s. This results in a maximum print speed of 40mm/s with a 0.4mm nozzle & 0.2mm layer height (regardless the higher print speeds in the provided/chosen Process Preset, they will be ignored).
Max print speed equals 'Volumetric Speed'/ ('Nozzle Diameter' x 'Layer Height')
@@tribar-6886with bambu tpu?
@@3D_AIRSOFT626 Bambu TPU 95A has a maximum flowrate of 3.6 mm3/s.
@@tribar-6886 so the max spedd would be? Sorry but I do not know as I only use pla
Hi Everyone, sorry I was traveling, the link is here to the TPU Profile - drive.google.com/file/d/11jylQH4w3X0lLyQuIfnqkTdUoYRSsUnA/view?usp=drive_link
Hey Ian - Can you do a short or something to show how to utilize this? It seems a few of us are struggling to find a resource showing how to load the profile. I've tried a few things, including saving the JSON to my profiles, with no success. Thanks for all you do!
Ah - way easier than I was making it. For those that may stumble on this... Just go to File -> Import -> Import Configs then select the saved JSON file
@ZippyFPV Thanks it helped a lot 😆
Thanks for the vid, it really helped me... BUT, I have tried a few different TPU brands in my P1P with no AMS and many brands would not even feed through the feed gears or hot end.. they just appeared to get tangled round the feed gears, which was a right royal pain in the rear to get access to and unclog. indeed I ended up just buying a new hot end as even after clearing the clog in the gears I could not get any other material to feed through the hot end. I did alter the feed spring too to no joy..... Eyeron is the only non bambu brand I have actually been able to feed through the Bambu lab P1P... PS I usually use Overture TPU on my other printers, ( Elegoo Neptune 2s) just fine... Any thought or advise?
Thanks in advance
Ian
FuriousRC
i had to add much more tweaks on nailing tpu with x1c, its not as simple as described. wost part is supports .it prints OK but supports are pain .. but finally come to good results, also found out bambu studio slices better than cura for enders
what TPU brands do you recommend?
The link for the TPU profile is broken. Can you sent us the link for it? Thank you! Great video btw! 😊
Now added drive.google.com/file/d/11jylQH4w3X0lLyQuIfnqkTdUoYRSsUnA/view?usp=drive_link
Was it difficult for the TPU to push out the old PLA that was in the hot end ?
Do you crack open the top lid? Or do you leave it fully enclosed?
Can you do a video on where to enter the code in bambu studio?
File > Import > Import Configs
Could you use the BL Y Splitter for the PLA and use it on the rear spool holder and then not have to disconnect the AMS?
Yes you can
I printed 3 small items in TPU came out perfect shiny and just squashable how I wanted the 4th print and every print after are literally like a kitchen sponge , the first 2 layers look good and bottom layer shiny but the rest is exactly like a sponge , there is no strength to it at all it squashes exactly like a sponge , and is not shiny at all and looks like its not sticking right , there is no bubbling and seems clock up nozzle now aswell , can you help with this its TPU 95 aswell
I know that you mentioned you were using an old roll of TPU and that old roll had most likely absorbed a bit of moisture while sitting in storage but, does this mean that a roll of TPU in pristine printing condition would give one a cleaner surface finish than those shown in the models you printed in this video?
Those were some pretty rough finishes.
I accept that the AMS doesn't support TPU. Haven't tried any non AMS filaments yet so was interesting to see how it is done. Not sure you needed to have a spare AMS slot that is set as TPU as I think you can just add a 5th channel.
What however I am wondering is whether it would be feasible to automate the manual TPU feeding. What I was thinking of was something like a single MMU2 type channel that can push the filament in and then move out of the way. Automation would I guess have to be via Bambu Studio I suppose due to the closed nature of the firmware.
I guess it might work out better though to somehow just re-engineer one of the AMS channels - as this would allow mixed TPU/other material prints.
Yea you can use a 5th slot. I just used the empty one I had but I should have explained that better.
On the automation this is something I am working on 😉
Bambu Lab says their TPU is AMS compatible.
@@c0mputer interesting - I wonder if that is a recent change or has always been the case. Will get some and try it. Ps/ Managed to get a mixed AMS/Non AMS print to work too - with a bit of manual intervention at each Non AMS change, and having to put a dummy filament i to the AMS - so i think there is a good prospect of multi material including TPU prints being possible with the BL printers, even for non AMS compatible filaments.
@@dwuk99 Bambu do not say the AMS is TPU compatible and the website for both their TPU and the AMS clear say no. I don’t know why this user is saying this but it’s wrong.
@@c0mputer no they don’t, they CLEARY say it’s not compatible.
Hi, have you tried the TPU85A?
Do you have a preference for bambu tpu vs sainsmart tpu?
buy an exacto knife and not use your teeth to open filament bags... with regards DDS. :)
I did not even get it to load the tpu lol I’ll watch tomorrow and see.
I was expecting to be able to use it with the print option but that only supports the AMS materials... Why isn't color 0 the filament on the aux hub hanger?
Second, can an AMS hub be used without a second AMS to feed alternative filaments like TPU and CF filaments?
Can I use the TPU profile on the A1 as well?
do i have to dry tpu??
How long does this take in practice?
Thanks for the instruction! Do you know what to do when the TPU cant be loaded? I hear the stepper working but no filament comed out of th nozzle...
Have you given it a push though as it’s trying to extrude ?
@@MadRC yes i did. and I feel it beeing pulled, but somehow it can be extruded. I tried another TPU filament know and it just works fine, don’t know what the issue is with the other one…
Thanks for answering!
With the Y the Material PLA feed or change do not work correct anymore. It feeds the Filament forward until the extruder, then after some seconds back, and forward, and back. Until it stops due to the error message. Sometime it works, somtime not. After disassembling the Y it works again normaly.
Bummer seems like you cant use pla for supports... would need a dual head like the snapmakers
How do you load the Sain Smart TPU profile you provided for download into the Bambu Studio slicer ?
is there a way to make this preset work with the A1mini?
Ive used flexibles with one of my ams... i heavily modified it though. Been considering making some youtube videos because i also am starting to reverse engineer the ams and want to make a custom one by using an arduino to intercept the pins from the printer and trick the printer into making it think my ercf with 8 materials is 2 ams. Wondering if anyone has tried it yet
Is there any chance you could cover polypropylene. It's such an amazing filament but such a pain to print
I will have a look L
U print with 0.4 nozzle? I read somewhere they recomend 0.6
Do you need to use glue?
