I tryed the other side around. Made a PETg bar with a TPU top, to make a surface to grip that gives resistance, and a high strength bar (PETg) to take the load of pressure, and the TPU the give resistance, to hold a Item on its place. And they sick quite god to another, the PETg and TPU. great video as always 👍😀

The bond between TPU and PLA is not very strong. I did some test using TPU as living hinges for PLA prints, and found that the adhesion was so week it only worked if I created mechanical interlocking between the two materials (using dovetail features). Of course, a weak bond is what you want for a support material, but it needs to be strong enough to allow you to grow supports from the part, not just from the build plate, if it's going to be a general solution. This is something you didn't test. Your PLA support is only from the PEI bed. What happens if you try to put down the PLA support on top of the TPU? Does it have sufficient adhesion when hot to stick? My hinge experiments required me to really slow down to get that to work. I think I ended up printing at something like 10mm/s. It would be good if you could extend your test to include this.
@zebarzebra

That is correct. I reckon this will only work for supports in the bed. Still there are a lot of use cases where this will work great. Much better than virtually not being able to use supports at all. I will definetly will try this with my Prusa XL that I will assemble this weekend.

I just tried printing TPU on top of a PLA raft. It worked out too well, the TPU part was permanently bonded to the PLA raft. Maybe the adhesion depends on the filament brands? I'll try again with other PLAs to see how it goes.

Why 0.1 gap? It seems like you'd go with full-contact support (0mm gap). Based on your results though, you'd have to run some samples and compare. Your results are impressive.

I like to add, that I had good results with PLA+PETG setting it to 0 gap, Rectlinear Grid, a sheat around the support, 3 top and bottom interface layers and a concentric pattern. The PLA profile is set to soluble material. Reason for the very thick support is that I had my interface layers not bonding while printing and ruining everything late in the print. This makes the support very sturdy and we get a nice flat chunk of an interface layer that will just remove. Not sure how this would perform with TPU+PLA, but I would give it a shot.

Maybe organic supports would produce some interesting results, especially for PETG and ease of separation. I think it would also allow you to run the support material hotter (or cooler) as needed since the distance between the support and the TPU will be greater so less heat transfer.

You could have an even easier time removing the supports with some better settings. While the multi-material printing certainly helps, that heavy block of support material is overkill/impractical. At least in Cura, when I'm not using trees, I like using 0 support walls, 15% support infill, the zig-zag support pattern and top/bottom interfaces. This gives you plenty of places to put your pliers, then you can pull and it'll mostly zip right off.

Great video, thanks for the work. Going one step further on your test. For the PLA support did you think about/can you run the support up to "Almost Touching" the part being supported and then change from a solid support to "support like" print out? Because of home electrical issues I've been out of printing for over a year and just now getting into it. I've printed PLA and PETG using it's own support structure which is stringy and brittle that can be broken off. So the question is instead of connecting with a solid support for the TPU over hang, but you print solid up to a point and switch to support mode between the solid PLA support and the TPU? Wouldn't it separate more easily if you didn't go from solid to solid? Sorry if I'm not explaining this correctly or with the correct verbiage.

Hips also works well, at least for supports between a TPU part and the print bed. The Hips is quite brittle and easily snaps apart which is handy if its an internal support. It won't stick at all to the TPU so is less than useful for supports printed onto TPU e.g. for openings/overhangs higher up in the TPU print job. How well does PLA work for printing supports on top of TPU?

We’re there any other upgrades included in the upgrade kit and have you run into major hotend clogging problems. I tried the J1 for my lab and had to return it because it was clogging a lot. I would have stuck it out and tinkered but I was about to leave the lab and didn’t want to leave a project for the next user. From what I read the hotend design is susceptible to heat creep which was causing problems. A couple super users suggested some modifications to the hotend using stock parts but I haven’t seen anything from snap maker themselves addressing the issue.

If my prints don;t need to be rigid and can have a bit of flex, my go-to is a HF TPU. I feel like people don't know about it and it's a monster leap forward in flexible printing.
