== TPU is not yet approved for use on the 3d Printers! ==
Thermoplastic PolyUrethane (TPU) is a flexible filament and can be used to print objects such as tires, gaskets, or other parts that may require some flexibility. As a flexible filament, TPU requires some special handling for use with the 3D printers.
== Challenges with TPU ==
* TPU is very hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from air) and care should be taken to ensure the filament is kept dry.
*
== Printing With TPU ==
* Because TPU is flexible and stretches, it '''CANNOT''' be used in the AMS.
* At this time, TPU can only be be printed on Po (Bambu #1)
* See [[Manually Loading Filament]] for instructions on loading filament into the machine manually.
== Slicer Profiles ==
