I'm looking for a multi-material printer that can also handle TPU.

AFAIK are most multi-material systems not made for TPU, so printers like the BambuLab P1S with AMS or Anycubic Kobra with the ACE Pro won't work (I would like to have a printer where I can just load TPU without disconnecting anything. And I know BambuLab has a TPU for AMS, but 40€ for 1kg is a little much).

The only printers for hobbyist that really support it are the Prusa XL or BambuLab H2D, or did I miss any?

The only other one I know of, outside of a dual exturder Voron, is the Qidi I-Fast IDEX printer. It's expensive, somewhat over $1000, but it has a lot of goodies too. 350C extruder, heat chamber, and a decent sized build volume to print just about any engineering filament.

Thanks, didn't knew about the Qidi. And even thou its 1k€/$, its still a half the price of the BambuLab or Prusa!

Their Plus 4 printer is supposed to have multi material box -a la AMS- some time this year. But there hasn't been much said about it since the release of the Plus 4 model.
