Do I need the AMS hub for H2D also

You can connect it and the AMS will use the same 6pin just like what comes off of your HUB or Buffer on the X1.

So you are saying I can use the buffer from a X1 which has a 6 pin input and a 4 pin output?

No the H2D has the buffers built-in to the printer directly. I’m saying your AMS is currently using the 6pin bus cable that connects from the buffer/hub on the X1 to the AMS; which the buffer/hub then connects to the printer via the 4pin cable.

The AMS, AMS HT, and AMS 2 Pro will all work directly on the H2D via their 6pin bus cables in series; without anything else other than external power for the AMS HT and for the AMS 2 Pro the external power is optional with the limitation that you can only use the drying function on one at a time with bus power.

Your current X1 is like this:
X1 Printer β†’ 4Pin bus cable β†’ Hub/Buffer β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ AMS β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 2nd AMS β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 3rd AMS β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 4th AMS

Connecting it to the H2D will be like this:
H2D β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ AMS β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 2nd AMS β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 3rd AMS β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 4th AMS β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ AMS HT β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 2nd AMS HT β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 3rd AMS HT β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 4th AMS HT β†’ 6pin bus cable β†’ 5th AMS HT… etc up to 4 AMS/AMS 2 Pro + 8 AMS HT.

In your specific circumstance it seems you have the H2D with 1x AMS and 1x AMS 2 Pro. So you’d connect them like this

Connect from the H2D 6pin bus connection with a 6pin bus cable β†’ connect the 6pin bus cable to one of the 6pin bus connections on the AMS 2 Pro β†’ connect a 2nd 6pin bus cable to the 2nd 6pin bus connection on the AMS 2 Pro β†’ connect the 2nd 6pin bus cable to the 6pin connection on your AMS.

All you’re saying is right but I’m afraid it will confuse # airsyspro

I have the same set-up, 1 H2D, 1 AMS2 PRO, 1 regular AMS.

AMS2 PRO is connected to the H2D via a 6-pin cable, The regular AMS is connected to the AMS2 Pro via a 6-pin cable, that’s it.

6-pin cable sold with AMS2 Pro or AMS are the same, just the length is different so you can play with those 2 cables as required depending on where you place each AMS. I put the AMS PRO on top of H2D so I used the shorter AMS cable to connect them and used the longer AMS2 Pro cable to connect the original AMS (placed on the side) of the printer to the AMS 2 PRO.

I don’t even use the optional power adapter. I can dry the filaments in AMS2 PRO while printing using the original AMS, no issue.

Fair point.

Here is a picture version. Hopefully that is clear enough.

Crystal clear :wink:

Hi,
You listed that in great detail.
Could you do that again for the filament path (including adapters, etc.)? :wink:

I think the information on how to connect multiple AMS/AMS 2/AMS HT to the H2D or X1/P1 is very confusing.
A graphic overview of all connection scenarios (electrical and filament path) would be a real help.

…at the same time… You can connect them but only one at a time can dry.

Sorry, I’m not making 144+ pictures :upside_down_face: good luck

Watch this clip:

The whole video is very informative so I recommend you watch the whole thing too.
