@LostInTech3D you need to use that new TPU and printout new boxes for the Durometers. A hardshell case with interlocked TPU hinges. I'm guessing that this TPU might be slightly better for printing Airless basketballs, especialy if the outerlayers are printed from this TPU and the inner layers are interlocked stiffer material somethink like PBA or even PLA-CF.

[@TechieSewing]

The additive is likely to stiffen the filament up so it feeds in the AMS, but it breaks down when melted. Pretty clever.

2:04 bro you own so many 3d printers PRINT A NEW BOX

[@radish6691]

If you own at least one 3D printer then PRINT A NEW BOX. I printed a parametric rugged latching box while I was at work today, came out beautifully. Found a customizable model on MakerWorld, entered a few dimensions in their OpenSCAD interface, and downloaded me a bespoke model. The point is that printing custom boxes is a solved problem even for those of us who can’t design.

[@cherrymountains72]

As a person who is new to the whole 3D printing scene/world, I am amazed at the number of abbreviations and acronyms that are being slung around without any further explanation. Despite Bambu Lab making 3D printing available to the masses, there still is quite the learning curve even for an IT person like myself. Don’t get the me wrong, I like the challenge etc. but for somebody less inclined, some videos are hard to understand due to all the terms that are used to explain/describe things. No hate, just me venting a bit with a smile on my face :-).

[@LostInTech3D]

no, I get that, I explain when I remember...which is sadly rarely :)

[@ares395]

It's called a curse of knowledge (yes that's the actual name). It's a bias teachers struggle with.

[@Liberty4Ever]

I truly sympathize. Every technical field has its own language, generally acronym intensive. It can be difficult to learn the definitions by context. The most efficient solution would probably be a specific beginner's guide video that explicitly defined the terms, with examples so the definitions had meaning. It would be a 30 minute video, but that's better than weeks lost in the woods, searching online to self educate.

[@SnoringVids]

Video was too short.. need more squish. I'm also excited never thought I'd be excited by how hard tpu is for a printer I don't even own 😂

WHAT THE WAT! This is amazing and who knows how long it would have taken me to find out about it otherwise-thank you!

[@drewmiller9036]

Even though it's stiffer, I think what a lot of people are looking for in TPU is durability. Could we test this versus more common 90-95A TPUs?

[@MagnificentUsernameGuy]

Ask Igor on "My Tech Fun". :)

[@PeterBrockie]

This stuff just snaps like PLA out of the printer. Supposedly once printed you have to leave it for a few days or soak it in water for it to become strong like TPU - haven't tried it on my test prints yet though.

[@michaels3003]

The "D" supposedly means resistance to dents. Notice, there is no spec for flexibility (i.e., it is not defined).

[@Yash-c3v]

Massive question!

[@tombo7719]

I had to buy mine, but the TPU for AMS is pretty nifty. I will have a video up soon.

[@Smokinjoewhite]

Also could be a really good option for my old bowden printers. Sure most of my printers are DD these days, but my old enders are so reliable I still use them for stiff materials and they print ABS as well as any printer I own if you enclose them.

[@LostInTech3D]

yeah it will work well on a bowden

[@MatrixRay19]

Big Tree Tech/BIQU has already shown an AMS compatible TPU before, their version was explained to be co-extruded, with a TPU core and a more rigid and lower friction material on the shell. Bambu is probably doing the same thing here, hence why the "printed filament" feels softer, the material is no longer on a core/shell matrix, it becomes more like fibers.

[@LostInTech3D]

Ummm 🤔 when?

[@MatrixRay19]

@@LostInTech3D For some odd reason my first reply didn't go through, but here it goes: They showed it at RMRRF this year, you can check it out on the coverage from some other channels, like Taylor's(Cannuck Creator/Nero3D). It's right around 11:45 on his video for the BTT booth coverage. They called it nTPU, but contrary to what I said on my original comment, they did not mention it's co-extruded and it works completely different from what you would expect. Sorry for my blunder, do not know why it happened.

[@LostInTech3D]

It's not on sale thought, right?

[@hunglikeahearse]

​@@LostInTech3Dlast I checked they had a "coming soon" placeholder. Voxel PLA has made their own AMS compatible TPU but from what I recall it was more of a blend of PVA & TPU, where the PVA helped stiffen the part until you could soak it in water after printing

[@stldenise]

Filament in development vs filament in my hands are two different things. Super hard TPU isn't new -- but the base material has been stupid expensive. I had a couple rolls from Keene Village Plastics (what happened to those guys??) it was 70D and about $75 a spool. This stuff from Bambu is $35 for 1KG.

[@chuckmakesit]

How funny, was literally just looking at Bambu's site for filament and saw this. Suppose I'll toss a roll into my next order, especially knowing about the material splicing option now.

[@coledavidson5630]

This idea of making filament softer by using additives that expand after leaving the nozzle is so old by now. Glad they've finally adapted it to make TPU work in AMS tho, that's awesome

You don't need any "special kind of tpu" for AMS. Simply insert anything harder than 40D and you will be just fine. I am printing with regular cheap 50D TPU since months (cheated as PETG for AMS) and never had any issue with it. Cool they finally unlocked it and there is Generic TPU for AMS selection now, no more cheating required.

[@TMS5100]

I wonder if it's a foaming agent like varioshore? (calcium carbonate, aka baking soda) You should try different temperature ranges and see if it swells more. 68D would be something like 104A-ish, but the scale doesn't go past 100.

[@LostInTech3D]

I sorta dont think it is, it looks different, but it's some kinda agent for sure

[@flyentity]

I usually very much enjoy your KZbin contributions. What has me perplexed about this video is that you didn’t really spend much time showing the finished prints and how squishy they are and potential use cases for it? I am especially interested in this new product as I’m too lazy to load filament on the external spool. Hope maybe you’ll update the video to include more prints using this material. Keep up the good work and thank you.

[@---ey6hj]

It’s hilarious what the closed caption has to say when you watch how the filament looks like at 3:19🤣

[@KP-ty9yl]

You want to know something really weird about this stuff? I do a lot of impact testing for fun. I'm weird like that. But this filament 1. doesn't flex on impact as much as normal TPU - it actually breaks on sudden impact and 2. is the first filament I've ever tested that broke ACROSS layer lines with a vertically printed test object. Oh, and the difference in flexibility is markedly different between the X, Y, and Z orientations. This can be a good thing because, while the hardness is likely the same/similar between the directions, you can "tune" the flexibility for your application if you use your noggin. This stuff bridges well. Oddly well for its flexibility. Meaning you actually can pull off printing in those different orientations to "tune" the flex. But it gets soft at high temperatures. More testing to follow. You aren't the only one taking a close look at this interesting little filament, Mr. Narrator Guy

[@LostInTech3D]

I've since noticed it's tendency to snap like silk pla. Which makes me more convinced it has additives similar to silk pla 🤔

[@KP-ty9yl]

@ everyone says they put TPU in PLA to make silk so… my God. They’ve added TPU to TPU.

Great video! I shall go order some right now. Thanks! Squirrels!

[@AllThingsMech]

I choked on my coffee at 3:40. Thanks for that. 🤣

[@phirechicken]

Looks like they are using a foaming agent like VarioShore filament. It keeps the material rigid until it heats to a certain temperature and then foams up and makes the material softer based on temperature.

[@CatofManyFaces]

Does it work in other companies AMS systems? like Prusa's or Creality's upcoming one?

[@LostInTech3D]

don't see why not

[@logicalfundy]

Probably works well with other color systems, like the MMU3. This might be the first Bambu product I buy. I've been looking for a stiffer TPU anyways, and having it compatible with multi-color printing would be a plus.

[@JohnVanderbeck]

I still have a spool of non-ams TPU from Bambu that I haven't gotten around to using even once because this stuff scares me haha. I still can't imagine how it can actually print with a wet noodle.

[@heyitsdrew]

those indents on the red box, push those in with your thumbs, it should open easier.

[@Leif_YT]

Haven't tried it myself yet, but I've seen some videos in the past where PETG and TPU sticked pretty well together. Much better than PLA and TPU.

[@MrBodoFraggins]

The close captions are amazing

When you 3D print storage boxes for your durometers, you can now design them in OrcaSlicer with print-in-place TPU gaskets so they're waterproof.

automatic interlocking the slicer is really nice, but it wasn't impossible before, it could be manually modeled in, just like you have to when you're printing separate parts

[@JeromeDemers]

Great video. I was slightly confused at the end when you say that interlace is only available in orca then say it’s the first time in history we can do that with Bambu while showing the scrapper. So I am not 100% sure this feature is in the slicer or not. That’s what is confusing. And you show the interlace while playing with the layer slider in Bambu slicer

[@SQalli]

In a previous video you mentioned that you got the 83A eSun eLastic TPE working on your P1S/P1P. Would you mind sharing your settings for that? Ive had a lot of trouble getting that specific filament to work on my P1S.

[@LostInTech3D]

I'm slowly sharing the profiles from that video on patreon, but - there's not a lot of complicated adjustments to make - the standard flex setting should work BUT making sure to unreel it from the spool because it adds a ton of friction due to the angles and how it likes to grip to the reel because it's "rubber" wound round "rubber".

[@Piction3D]

I was able to get my AMS Lite to work with 95A Overture TPU after a lot of trial and error.

[@rcrdps8144]

Meh. I just want to print kids toys in TPU with multicolor. ;) For multi-material, I'd like to print frames in Nylon or PET, but with PLA inlays for colorful grips. I previously tried TPU in the AMS,... basically, the "hub" on the back of the printer uses the binding of the filament to detect when to send more from the AMS. But regular TPU actually binds up in the AMS first, so you get a jam,....and break stuff trying to unjam it. Had to replace a feeder. Really enjoyed the video style.

[@gobigd7276]

Does drying this filament in a filament dryer affect the properties of this filament in any way? I'm quite new to this domain and I recently ordered a roll of TPU for AMS. I've never printed with anything other than PLA, but I've heard that it is necessary to dry TPU right out of the box, so I also ordered a Sunlu S2 filament dryer. Now I wonder whether the dryer will affect this new type of TPU.

[@LostInTech3D]

generally I dont find a need to dry TPU when new, but I did receive some eSun recently that definitely needed drying. It's obvious, in fact. See the bubbles in the orange sample I did a slow motion of? It's slightly wet. When it's extremely wet it's like that x 100

[@oleurgast730]

So the flowrate is different and the material on the spool is harder than the printed one. Sounds somehow simular to VarioShore, but without the variable adjustmet at different temperatures.

[@stevencullen6261]

This is why i have wanted just an idex printer... not necessarily a tool charger in a traditional sense or a ams (although an ams on an idex would get wild but im leaning towards the armor turtle system as an ams)

I'd like to see some true multicolor TPU/TPU prints, and see how hard the TPU is. I print drone parts in 95A all day, seen 98A Priline that was way too hard to flex around a GoPro, worked great for skidz tho... I'm curious if this filament is flexible enough for normal TPU use (98A was not).

[@rcautoball]

Dude, that 98A Priline is a great filament for extreme durability and "some flex" parts. I've made a few RC car bodies with it and it's an amazing filament. Haven't come across too many other people who use it.

@rcautoball ok, a fellow drone pilot just confirmed that the new bambu TPu for AMS is TOO hard for a gopro case 😪
