    Hey folks, I am wondering if you all have some steps (or video) of the best way to load and unload filament from your Robo3D. I have a new Robo #D1+, and would love to try some TPU. I've read up on the temps and settings, and would like to give it a shot.

    I have not determined if I need a mod, and I cannot seem to get the TPU to extract... it doesn't seem to be "grabbing" in the feed.

    Or it is wadding up inside the feed mechanism. I suggest you remove the two spring loaded screws and check. Flexible filaments usually require the addition of a PTFE tube that extends up over the hobbed bolt to allow them to feed correctly. Well, that and you have to print slow.
