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?

For what it's worth, I regularly print materials not supported by the AMS on my Bambu P1S and it's quite painless. There's a spool holder on the back of the machine that you can load directly to the extruder bypassing the AMS. Of course, if your goal is do multicolor prints in TPU obviously that won't work.
