Blend TPU with PLA or TPU with PETG

Looking for advice to switch materials mid print, so far it seems you can only do switch colors and not material. 

is there a way to switch materials?

Im trying to make a stamp and want the bottom part in TPU.

RE: Blend TPU with PLA or TPU with PETG

this is PLA and TPU

it was printed flat, and the black TPU Makes a hinge. 
PLA top and bottom, 

I have never tried TPU with PETG
It's a long time ago
if I recall correctly I set the print temperatures for PLA,
then when I  planned to switch to TPU,  (raising Temperature)
I edited the Gcode to 
G1 X10 ;Move the extruder away from the model
M104 S230  ; set extruder temp for TPU
M109 S230; wait for extruder temp
M600 ; execute filament change

And After the change back to PLA using
M600 ;Filament change command
I added something like 
G1 X10 ;Move the extruder away from the model
M104 S210  ; set extruder temp for PLA
M109 S210; wait for extruder temp
