Bambu Lab solved that by making \u003cstrong\u003eTPU for AMS\u003c\/strong\u003e harder than typical flexibles: at \u003cstrong\u003eShore 68D\u003c\/strong\u003e it holds its shape well enough to be pushed through a Bowden path and an AMS buffer, while still bending, compressing and bouncing back like a proper elastomer. With a breaking elongation above 650% and 22.4 MPa tensile strength, it is closer to tough engineering rubber than to a soft squishy TPU.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:Poppins,sans-serif; color:#333; line-height:1.65;\"\u003eThat unlocks the thing flexible printing has always missed: \u003cem\u003emulti-colour and multi-material flexible parts, printed unattended\u003c\/em\u003e. Think two-tone phone and tool cases, grippy feet and bumpers, gaskets and seals, drone and RC tyres, vibration dampers, watch straps, hinges and living joints, protective covers, and prototype parts that need to survive being dropped. It suits hobbyists stepping into flexibles for the first time, makerspaces and schools who want TPU that won't jam a shared printer, and small businesses printing functional end-use parts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border:none; border-top:2px solid #FCD361; margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family:Poppins,sans-serif; color:#020873; margin-bottom:14px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"line-height:2.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eAMS \u0026amp; AMS lite compatible\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eShore 68D hardness\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003e\u0026gt;650% elongation at break\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003e22.4 MPa tensile strength\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eUp to 18 mm³\/s flow\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003e±0.05 mm tolerance\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eRFID auto-recognition\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eReusable spool\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"background:#FEFFF0; border:1px solid #2B4CB9; border-radius:20px; padding:6px 16px; font-size:0.9em;\"\u003eAbrasion \u0026amp; oil resistant\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr style=\"border:none; border-top:2px solid #FCD361; margin:24px 0;\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"font-family:Poppins,sans-serif; color:#020873; margin-bottom:10px;\"\u003ePrint Settings\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-family:Poppins,sans-serif; color:#333; line-height:1.65;\"\u003eOn a Bambu Lab machine the built-in profile handles all of this automatically once the spool is recognised.
