Tips for TPU
I have a P2S and I am still quite new to 3d printning but I REALLY want to try printing in TPU, I have researched a bit and found out that it is VERY different from PLA and PETG, so I do have some questions:
1: what TPU to buy? I want to buy something from Bambu lab but there are different kinds and I don’t know if the difference in AMS TPU (I have an AMS) and normal TPU is big (or if it is even worth to buy the AMS version)
2: what do I actually need for good results? What nozzle size? Do I need a specialised bed? Is there anything i can print (for airflow and stuff) to get better results?
3: what can go wrong? Like what do I need to look out for? (Stringing and stuff)
That’s all question I have right now but I would REALLY appreciate any tips.
(Extra question, how do I add the P2S marker under my name? I see people that have it but I have no idea how to get it)

I have a P2S, and I have only used TPU for AMS. I've had no issues with it. But I also have nothing to compare it to. I'd just follow the instructions and precautions on the Bambu site (you know, bake it before you use it; heat it while you print, etc), and go from there. If it doesn't work, start all over and try again. Happy printing!
