It's rumor that printing flexible
materials with a bowden extruder setup is
impossible.  This simply isn't the case.  Here we will change from polycarbonate
with a 300 Celsius 3d printing temperature to a flexible TPU in a matter of minutes on
Airwolf 3D's new AXIOM 3d printer.  After
preheating to polycarbonate
temperatures we will use the remove
filament command on the LCD to remove
the polycarbonate from the hot end and from the extruder assembly .  We will then load
the TPU using a load filament command on the LCD.  The extruder will grab the TPU
and push it through the Bowden tube
through to the hot end.  Use the purge
command to purge the new filament out
and get rid of the polycarbonate left to
the head.  Select your file and let AXIOM do the rest.
