Can the Bambu AMS and 3D Chameleon be Hooked up at the same time?
I would like to potentially get the 3d Chameleon but I want to have it and the Bambu AMS be available to be used with just a selection of one printer profile or the other. At this point I haven't seen this configuration yet. I would like to be able to print with TPU using the 3d Chameleon and use the AMS for any thing else I have loaded up. I not asking if I can use the AMS and the Chameleon on the same print, I can see where that might be a little more difficult or not possible at this point in time.
Has anybody used the Chameleon for TPU? I saw a comment from Bill that it should be able to, but I haven't seen it in use. My limited experiance with TPU has demonstrated it only takes a small amount of drag before the extruder for the print to fail from under extrution from the extra drag.
You can install the 3DChamelon onto the Bambu printers at the same time without issue, and you can use them either in combined mode or individual mode... so your use case will work.
As for TPU... the 3DChameleon can easily drive (load/unload) the TPU depending on the shore # for it. Harder TPU obviously work much better. The 3DChameleon, once it feeds the filament into the stock extruder, lets go of the filament, so only the normal tension of the PTFE is left. You can easily reduce that by using a larger diameter 2.5mm ID PTFE tube if needed, but we've found it works just fine with our stock tubes as well.
