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?

My bambu AMS doesn't work with TPU so I don't think multimaterial has much benefit in this use case. Basically I have to put the tpu on a spool at the back and disconnect the tubes from the AMS.

I do find multimaterial handy for PLA/PETG although AMS can be annoying if a piece of PLA snaps which often happens.
