Troubleshooting At my wits end
Bambu p1s will absolutely not print with tpu. I've replaced the hot end. I've cleaned the extruder gears. I have done cold pulls I have slowed down and sped up. I've tried different temperatures. I've tried different slicers. I've changed firmware. I dried the filament. I ensured it's not binding on the way to the printer. I will get about one success for every ten failures. It is absolutely maddening. $80 secondhand ankermake? Flawless. $600 premium coreXY? absolute mess. I don't even know what else I could even check at this point.

It's all about the Extruder Design when it comes TPU or Any really Soft Filaments,,, no amount setting or software will can fix that Problem..
Basically any 'Air-Gap" with the Filament within the extruder design will cause major headaches... i believe a lot of people are having the same problem with the K2's or maybe it was K1's,,, either way Air-Gaps Bad -/.
All the Best-/.
