I would make sure your fan is moving sufficient air. Maybe the bushing is wearing down and it’s running slower.
Looks like your heat break unscrews from the heatsink, maybe some fresh thermal paste to help the transfer. Some types can turn into insulators if over heated too much.

The clogging I had was a result of creep because I was turning off the machine before the cooling fans could finish bringing the temps down. After the fans were off the heat would move up and swell the filament. After I started leaving it on longer and not using emergency stop for print failures my clogging went away.

I also wanted to add my feedback, but life is always busy. I’ve been experiencing the timeout in boost on android for a few days across multiple internet connections, so I was pretty confident it’s not a ad block, vpn, content filter. Unfortunately it hasn’t made it to priority for me to track in any of my systems. I might be able to log and capture traffic is needed. I’m a network engineer with access to some enterprise grade network gear, unfortunately my primary desktop computer just died due to bad windows update, RIP last install. serving me well for many many years.
- Comment on [NAS] Onboard vs HBA vs SATA expansion cards 3 months ago:
I don’t have hands on experience with this, but I can say that once you move into addon cards the chance for hotswap from drive bays goes up. Hotplug is a feature that many of the on board and lesser data chips don’t support well.

Also remember there is a problem with mixing material type in a single nozzle. The purge is not full and will change the chemistry/behavior of the plastic.
The new multi nozzle Bambu suggests using the alternate single filament nozzle for a different material type.
I think it was a video about the h2d from 3d printing nerd talking about this.

I’ll start with I’ve never actually tried using tpu despite having a roll. I also have a second non mmu printer.
What I do know is there there are multiple levels of softness with tpu. I think I was watching a video about the Prusa Core One, talking about how it handled tpu, and they needed to step up from super soft 60 to less cooked spaghetti like 90 just to feed up the tube and to the print head.
I also remember the MMU settings in the firmware have a material type option per input. I don’t recall if TPU is on the list, but most others are fine without changing this setting, so maybe?
