Just a heads up. Shipping has started.
Should have mine 1 day before the estimated ship date. Looks like they are already in California.

No movement on mine. Estimated ship date is still the 21st.
I am based in the UK, and ordered AMS HT 1 minute after release date.
Mine still states that it will ship around the 27th of May.
Looks like the UK is at the bottom of the list.
Yea the same with the printer. Ordered April 8 and still sitting at May 16 where people in US and Germany got theirs earily … And same - two HTs still eta of May 27 …
I received an email indicating my HT has shipped but the tracking number does not match UPS or FedEx. So not sure what company is delivering the unit.

I just got the email as well! I have some TPU I’ve been waiting to use with it.

Mine is still saying May 21. For those of you showing that it’s fulfilled, are you all possibly west coasters? I’m wondering if they will ship East coast from Jersey. The containers would likely have come in to California and then they would forward some to NJ if that’s the case…so wondering if that’ll add some time to our shipments.

East coast here with no update.
Did yours ship, or have the shipping label created?
Unfortunately, for me, that was Bambu just printing a label. It is possible it will arrive early, but if they let them sit in the warehouse like the H2Ds did it could be later than the initial estimate. You kinda just have to wait and hope they go right out. I’ve seen some items reach me the same day the label was printed, and others, like the H2D that took almost 2 weeks. Literally a flip of the coin, and I live less than an hour away from the area the shipping originates from.
Personally, its not a big deal, but I would like to see more consistency in shipping, but that is a real first world problem 
.
Good luck on the actual shipping of yours.

Shipped. Im on the west coast. To be honest, I order in the first 15 seconds. Got both printers early too.

Looks like mine will be here on Wednesday, I live in Texas.
For those that got theirs… Is it me or is the implementation of how it works a little… terrible? At least using the non-feeding port. I’m hoping the auto feeding port will be a little cleaner in its implementation, but finding the manual TPU port really odd to work with.
Using TPU, I have to do all sorts of jerry rigging to load filament. Mixture of calling the AMS HT an external spool, and feeding out the awkward bypass port. Not the end of the world, but not what I expected.
The drying function seems a little easier to deal with if you are using the bypass port. I guess because the system is thinking that the filament is in the external port, so you can start a cycle with the filament loaded in to the system (unlike the AMS 2 Pro) But I assume if you have a normal filament fed through the feeder port, it will limit you. The drying function is also a little louder than I expected, but not obtrusive like a PolyDryer. Overall reasonable, but not as quiet as I remember the AMS 2 Pro’s heating.
I still like it, but its a little weirder than I expected.
I mean its just a glorified external spool when you use the bypass hole, and more complicated to use as well. Not sure what you were expecting?
Even after mine arrives, I will stick to using external spool for TPU as its easier. For me it will just be a quick way to load/unload the secondary hot end. Also will probably use it as a dryer for PPA/PPS as my current one can only do 70c, until I buy a blast drying oven anyways.
Yes, its worth what they are charging. The list of things it can do is long and im sure it wil be added to over time. The easiest selling point is, the non tariff price is about what you pay for a basic 65c dryer that also auto rotates, on amazon.

I was thinking of doing that, 4 HT instead of an AMS 2 as it will allow to print with lets says 2-3 filaments and dry with the one not being used. Would love to see a photo after you set it up!
I got one for each x1c and each h2d. Now I wont have to move my dryer between them, can dry hotter, replaces my side holder with something that has bearings etc. Ill also use it when only printing a single color, as a feeder, so I wont have to buy an ams2 for the x1c’s, but still get alot of the benefits like 60% faster loading vs ams1. I hope it has or will get a feature to spin the roll when its not inserted, to get the rfid info before using the bypass. Like how the k2 plus has the side rfid reader for side spools.
Someone will make some sort of way to add a piece of ptfe tube to the bypass port. Same as printing from a dryer.
I guess you’ll see the first time you use TPU or brittles in it. Its just not intuitive. Being the TPU bypasses the feeder, all the automation gets mixed up, and the only way around it, is to lie to it about where everything is.
Use the bypass port and you can print from it while drying.
