First time i see your videos, pretty well made congrats from France :)
Thank you for those kind words and I thank you for watching!!!!!
I have also have printed several objects on my K1 Max with TPU. I bypassed the runout sensor just as you suggested. But I was intimately able to tape an second piece of tube to the end of the tube that I pulled out of the output of the runout sensor to a another piece of tubing that went over the top and right down into my filament dryer. This allowed me to feed to the TPU through each section of tubing separately to start with. So the TPU fed from the dryer during printing. I had no problem with feeding the filament for multiple objects with no feeding issues and very little stringing. I was quite surprised that I was able to feed the TPU through the second piece of tubing while still clipped to the cable chain. As you mentioned I dried the TPU for about six hours ahead of time.
That's pretty incredible that you were able to feed the filament through the tubing like that! Nice job!!!!
Great video!
On my K1 Max I manage to print TPU successfully without any mods on the tube. What I do: put the filament in my Creality filament dryer, remove the grommet where the filament comes out of the box, push the grommet over the ppe tube so it‘s out of the way. Then I just put something under the dryer so that the ppe tube only just gets into the filament dryer.
Works every time for me even for longer prints. TPU 95A and 53D
I didn't know that I should pass the filament out of the tube for TPU. I hope that will solve my feeding problem. Thank you for the great video!
It makes it so much easier passing it from above!!!
I print with both filaments pretty cool
Nice one can you send the file for the spool holder please thank you
I just added the kink for the mount and the roller to the video description. Thanks for watching!
@@pushingplastic7445 that's awesome sure it will help others too. Continue what you doing really well appreciate it.
@@Romangal2701 Thank you, it's very much appreciated!
👍👍
I guess I'll have to try Overture TPU. I've been using Flashforge. Must be the problem. Like I've said, my benchy has always been perfect, no stringing, then gooey chimney. Weird!
Flashforge is my favorite ASA and I like their black PLA, it's shiney, so I know it's a good brand.
I actually haven't tried the benchy on the new Version 5, slicer. It had a glitch with my PC, until their latest update.
I'll try this tpu again, with V5 and if it messes up, it's the filament.
Thanks for the video!
It might not be the filament. I got similar results with the Overture as I did with the Bambu Labs TPU. It's the basic things, dry your filament, and reduce the speed. I was watching carefully while the chimney printed and the only thing I could think of that would make it fail was printing it to fast. If you decide to give Creality Print 5.1 a try again, try the TPU benchy and see how it prints! Good luck!!!!
@@pushingplastic7445 i printed at 35mm/s and 30. Dried filament for 24hours. lol
@@pushingplastic7445I've printed at 35 and 30 mm/s
