I’m trying to understand the actual build volume available in the new H2D. On Bambu site, there’s a graphic (screenshot attached) that indictes a user will need to be using both nozzles to achieve 350mm in at least one dimension. So, for example, if I want to print a white object 350mm long, does this mean that I’ll need to load 2 identical white filament spools and use both nozzles. Is that right, or am I missing something?
Its 300mm wide when printing multi colour/multi nozzle. 325mm wide when printing with one nozzle, and 350mm wide when printing with one color/same colors loaded in both nozzles (slower as it has to swap nozzles for each layer).

That’s how I read it. Well, I’ve got a particular object 13" long (330mm), so that won’t really work for me because I don’t always want to have 2 nozzles running, and splitting the model would be a pain.
You can place it across the plate corner to corner if its small enough.
The main thing 350mm is possible even with multi color prints with multiple AMS units. So its nice to know its there.
This object is approx. 10"x13," but 4” wide in the other dimension so that wouldn’t work in this case.
How about raising one end in Z as well?
The item is actually like a box, top and bottom, with the bottom measuring about 330x250x80mm, so perhaps placing the bottom on it’s side diagonally might fit using 325x320 as build plate area. However, there are some structures that would have challenging support issues to print it that way. I’ll have to think about it. No rush as I haven’t committed myself to modeling it, yet (personal project).
Yeah, but if you split the model in half and put the half pieces together you can print the full 350mm with multicolor (right?) - (The problem would be, that the layers are not that strong in the middle of the object)
If so, it would technically be possible to print the full 350mm in multicolor (with 2ams). - It’s only a software issue - right?
Edit: So BambuLab could make it multicolor printing on the whole bed (350mmx320mmx325mm)
Yes,you are right!must load 2 identical white filament spools
I haven’t printed it yet but this is what I think you would have to do.
I have painted with white and purple but of course, you’d want to paint with a matching filament to create a single color object that prints from both nozzles.
Tried using the cut feature with dovetail but the part kept moving so I went back to color painting.
EDIT - I printed it and strength seems really good. Top surface isn’t great where the colors join. Maybe ironing would solve that?
Also been trying to figure out “beam interlocking” for strength between two pieces.
Weird, but maybe would increase strength?
Beam interlocking is for use on two materials that dont stick to each other like PLA/TPU or PA/ASA.

Yeah, I’m not going to bother using interlocking with pla to pla. They stick really well and strength didn’t seem to be a problem.

Unfortunately this doesn’t work for me having “Generic PETG same color” loaded left and right. Unable to slice this part, what filament or special mode settings to use in BL Studio?
Unfortunately this doesn’t work for me having “Generic PETG same color” loaded left and right. Unable to slice this part, what filament or special mode settings to use in BL Studio? The dimension of the single part is 349x319x80mm and the Prepare error states “…exceeds the left nozzle’s printable.range.”
Generic pla on both sides. No special settings. Just used the paint tool to paint the object on left side. Make sure to get under and behind.
But why istn’t this just “working” ?
I just want to slice and print it the full 350mm?
I couldn’t test it, because the printer arrives (hopefully) on 8th of April.
But i saw others complaining about that too…
You could “easily” fix that with an software update. (right??)
