Many thanks for this video, been struggling with my K1 max trying to print TPU and failing after a few layers, Made up my own quick temporary top spool mount and adjusted settings and it works great many thanks again.
One of the most helpful videos I've watched on 3D printing. I just picked up my K1 Max a few weeks ago and was starting to think about trying out TPU on it and then realized it would need to be top fed. The spool holder model is genius! The settings you provided also worked beautifully, except I lowered the printing temp for my particular TPU.
It has been incredibly nice to only have one nozzle and not have to swap for different materials. Petg doesn't ball up on it like it does on hardened nozzles etc.
Awesome video. Looking to improve my TPU prints so I will try some of these settings. Just wondering, what do you do for cooling? Especially for for small parts that have short layer times or parts that have overhangs.
TPU Generally is slow enough you don't need to worry about layer time that much. I set it around 5s min layer time. Fan speed i leave on default and turn off aux fan
K1 max yazıcıda üstten besleme yaptım bir aparat yardımıyla, baskıda ipliklenme var ve yarısında extruder sıkışması olmuş nedeni nedir? my settings: creailty print 5.1.4v. default
I have a normal K1 and it seems like my printer has a hard time gripping the filament. When I just tell it to extrude it seems to not be able to have it flow smoothly.
I tried to print tpu on my k1 max and it seemed to start ok but then gets jammed up. I could potentially see the reason why he feeds directly from above avoiding any friction
Please please please tell people to use a little bit of alcohol for removing prints. Just try it with tpu and you will realize its a gamechanger. Spray a bit on the buildplate and the part just separates itself from it.
I have a question regarding using TPU/Flex PLA mixed with PETG as support because you can't feed TPU or any flex filament in the AMS and I need to feed it manually but I don't know how to do it through Bambu Studio. I had the same issue with TPU in my K1 so, I desgined an external spool wall support and I had zero issues with FLEX Pla to print the airless basketball ball but I couldn't remove easilly the support. How to do it in a Bambulab and how z height is the best to remove those supports if It needs it??
Flex pla was designed a bit more rigid than tpu, I have not personally printed with it. But my understanding is it has been blended with tpu. Which in turn increase its layer bonding by a bit. TPU with a PETG interface is harder then PETG to PLA but should still work for your intention. After slicing, you adjust the layer slider (+) button on the right to the layer where you want the change. Right click on the (+) and select Add Pause. Repeat as needed, then click Slice again. When the pause is reached, the toolhead will go back to the poop chute and wait for you to unload and reload the filament (see my earlier reply.) Then you hit Resume and it will pick up. As for your Z height when im doing pla to to petg interface layers I change it to 0 Z height and the parts pull apart perfectly with 0 signs of an overhang. But on your curved piece that would be much more difficult also specific i don't think you can pause it only for supports.
@@zee7056 reduced dramatically and slowed the retraction down allot also. I have found this to be slightly different on different tpus. So do recommend a retraction tower with each type of TPU you print with.

ayarların nedir ? ben üst makara bastırdım ancak yarısında takılma oluyor sanırım extruderda takılıyor

@@gafines thank you.
Can't belive this video has only 80 likes right now. It's very helpful. Thanks for sharing all of that.
Thank you, glad you found it helpful
thank you so much for the information, you deserve more likes
Glad it helped
Great video, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
@@lukasu5475 glad it helped
Thank you for very sharing, now I just need to type this all out so it’s a bit easies to tweak the settings
Very helpful, do you have a link to the nozel you were talking about.
I do have another video up about the diamond back nozzle. It runs around 90$. I'll add a link to this video too.

Am i need to bypass filament sensor?
@@raymondtwm correct you will need to install a small piece of filament into the sensor

correct if you run through a ptfe tube It will not print

Do you disable retraction?

Is that the regular interface on the screen of the K1 max or did you modded it? It doesn’t look at all like my K1.
It's a version of Klipper screen called guppy screen. Something you can do when you root the machine.
Thank you for the reply. I’ll look into it.
Would you be able to do a quick video on how to get the screen to do that?
Thanks! Very helpfull
No problem glad you found it useful
thank you for video! very helpful
Thank you very much.
I’m having problems with my extractor printing tpu
I can try to help. What durometer? Did you follow all the steps in the video? What problems is it having?
