For those that already have a H2C - I currently have an X1C with two AMS1 units and a HT and am planning on ordering the H2C, but my question is, if I relocate one of the AMS1 units to the H2C for the Vortek, how bad of an experience will I see? Time for printing is not a big issue for me, so if that is the only issue, it will be fine.
Thanks in advance.
The new one is a little faster, as you noted, otherwise, v1 cant dry. I run a couple v1 mixxed in with v2 and never notice. Obviously dont try to buy a v1, but if you already have one, use it.
Cheers, appreciate the help. I should be set by the sound of it.
I did read that you can only dry if the printer is turned on, bit disappointing, but meh not really a big deal I guess.
You won’t notice until a filament breaks in the path, then you’ll notice 
Lol, yeah, not looking forward to the inevitable 
I run v1 amd v2 ams units. The generations 2 unit accumulates humidity slower. For mid term filament storage i prefer ams 2. The AMS HT doesnt seem to insulate against humidity at all.
Thought that too, ran a drying cycle in the HT and with 6 hours to go it was at 17%, woke up this morning, it would have sat there after the cycle completion for a couple of hours and it is now at 23%.
am i weird guessing many put a ams1 on the left nozzle unless we get out missing ams2’s and ht’s ? I am…
Daniel.
I want to use my two AMS1 on an H2C. Was hoping to buy the H2C without the AMS2 but sales support says this is not a purchase option…
I am interested in this as well. I have 4 AMS1 attached to my P2S. I would like to upgrade to a second H2C, but I don’t want to replace all those AMS units.
You don’t need to replace them, but you will get an extra one with the H2C.
I have been running my AMS1 and AMS2 (that came with the H2C) on the right nozzle and my AMS HT on the left since I got my H2C last year. The AMS1 I have the shortest PTFE run possible and I do not notice, or care about, any major time delay issues. I don’t use mine to run a business, so the extra time it takes to load from the AMS1 for me is negligible.
I have ordered the filament switch, which will allow the two AMS units to run from either nozzle.
My experience has been a positive one, my second AMS1 I left connected to my X1C,
You will notice one slightly non optimized behavior with the AMS1 and the filament switch although most of the time it’s not a big deal. As it stands (will there be a firmware update for the AMS1?), the AMS1 retracts all the way to the AMS while the AMS2 only retracts to the switch at filament change if you use 2 different switch inputs for the AMSs in your print
What Switch are you ordering?
