    For Tpu you need the shortest way from spool to extruder. The more tube you have, the more screwed. You can print Tpu just fine using the spool holder, although, I rather have the spool on top of the printer with just a short tube going into the print head directly in the extruder, much better

      Yeah, I just want to try and see if it works on the Ace pro.

    I did the overhead ACE mount. Printed out a couple lid-hold-openers
    Spool sitting in the ace. filament runs out the open lid directly into the print head.
    works great.
    you'd probably need to set up some dangling overhead pulley system to print TPU if you didnt do the overhead ACE upgrade

      @Scratch3DPrinting  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, I should do something like that.

      I'm planning to put the ACE above the printer anyway and ever wondered if it is really not possible to find a way to mix print TPU and other materials. For example to print sealing directly within the model. When you use the ACE like you described, will the TPU filament be rewinded as much as needed to let the ace switch to another material if the TPU was printed in some layers? If, then this would be a great and simple solution.

      @stefankauerauf4282 I disconnect the multi material hub and drop the single stand off tpu directly in.
      I'm sure they'll figure out how to do it sooner or later 🤷

    I'm using the spool to print with TPU, it works well, although with some details. Since this is my first printer and I'm new to this, I didn't set the speed correctly and apparently, TPU filaments need a slower speed than other filaments. I set the bed to 50°C and the extruder to 215°C. I did this halfway through the print and it made a big difference, before that, the print base had lifted at the edges.

    • @Scratch3DPrinting
      @Scratch3DPrinting  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yeah, if you print TPU directly to the printhead with no ACE then it works. Yes TPU needs to print slower.

    Try it without the ACE Pro on the single spoolholder.

      @@Scratch3DPrinting I'm shure that it works 😉. I would maybe put a small piece of PTFE tubing in the print head and then the filament. Good luck.

    The filament holder that came with the Kobra 3 is where the TPU goes. The Anycubic webpage says the Kobra 3 can print TPU but the ACE unit cannot.

  • @bsgames5374

    just like the ams from bambu lab the ACE does not support filaments that are super soft like tpu it just gets wrapped.

    • @Scratch3DPrinting
      @Scratch3DPrinting  5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Ohh really, I guess it is hard for these multi color systems to print with soft filaments then. First time using one so I don't have much experience with it.

    While the extruder is a direct drive extruder, the fact that the kobra 3 has really long bowden tubes it effectively acts as a bowden extruder. So super flexible filaments don't work well.
    I don't know if these exist, but is there any kind of filament that has tpu with a PVA core? If so, you could use the more rigid PVA and dissolve it with water afterwards. It would leave some gaps though so i imagine that filament doesn't exist.
    Thinking outside the box: if the outer shell of tpu filament was coated with a rigid wax, maybe that would help it get through the Bowden tube.

    • @Scratch3DPrinting
      @Scratch3DPrinting  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes that is true, the ACE Pro is like a bowden tube setup. I'll take a look at that PVA core. Thanks.
