Still very dissapointed they don’t offer drying while printing this far into the game with the H2C.
I’ve been using my H2D’s almost exclusively, as they almost each have 5000 hours now, my H2C, which purchased just a little while later has only 500 hours, because I can’t use it for my engineering filaments with color changes, as the H2D now can with the dry-printing.
Really wish they would support their “flagship” product with software, but seems they don’t really care that much about the people spending this much
Just chiming in… Yup, sure is weird that I can’t start the drying process on my ams 2 pro or ams ht from the bambu studio software with my H2C. I just want to start it, not print & dry.
I’m using my H2S to print and dry pa6-cf primarily.
Definitely odd my most expensive printer doesn’t have this functionality.
Would it not be easier for everyone to use the same language on the forum?
My native tongue is not English but i do my best so that everyone can read along and help out.
With the beta firmware i have successfully dried while printing.
I had a 4,5hour print using the AMS HT (left nozzle) and 1 of my 2 AMS 2 pro’s on the right nozzle.
In the AMS HT I had PLA as support for the single color PETG object printed with the right nozzle.
I turned Drying on for AMS HT (PLA 4hours) and for the 1st AMS 2 (PETG 4 hours) that was used for the single color. This AMS 2 Pro does not have a power adapter (the second one does) and the printer did state that using a power adapter is recommended. As the 2nd AMS 2 Pro was not needed I just carried on
It did still give me the option to rotate the spool while drying even though the printer had a print job which utilizes the AMS HT and 1st AMS 2 Pro.
I would rather see that option greyed out if the AMS is needed for the job.
But all in all drying while printing is now also a thing on the flagship H2C….finally.
So what’s the maximum temperatures you can get out of them while printing? Does the printer enforce a limit, even for the self-powered AMS?
(I know with current release firmware, the AMS Pro when powered by only the printer will be limited to < 30°C while printing from another AMS or ext. spool.)
I’m just not convinced it does anything besides soften the filament. PLA isn’t really going to start releasing moisture until ~40°C minimum, and will be very slow at that rate. PETG is ~50°. Nylons and ABS are even higher. I’m sure there’s much variation, but at least those are the general numbers I’m finding. Also for example 60° air can hold/absorb ~150% more moisture than 40° air (and the changes are more dramatic above 60).

But I’m certainly not arguing with anyone for whom it works! I’ve not tried it, and data ≠ experience.
I just installed the beta. Bambu PETG HF in ams 2 pro limit is 37 degrees when set to 65. I agree, I don’t know what thats suppose to do but keep it warm.
I was waiting for the firmware update to know the maximum temp allowed while printing and dry. I will order a power adapter from Amazon to see if it makes a difference.
I believe I’ve read that it doesn’t make a difference. The only thing the adapter is for is if you are drying with more than one AMS 2 connected to the same printer…
AFAIK for some materials it seems to limit the drying temperature. Not so much because there is not enough power, but to prevent the softened filament to get stuck in the feeder.
I know it’s glib and don’t even know the current status of the AMS2 and drying, but a separate dryer lets people dry filament at any time - printer off, on, running, or whatever. It is a separate thing to find space for but the whole time people have been discussing this, those with separate dryers have kept right on trucking. No reduced drying while printing, etc.
Really? You an use a seperate dryer?! Wow.. if only anyone had ever thought of that…… im glad you were here to point that out. Its not 100% irrelevant to the conversation at all!
It wasn’t the best way to say it but at least some of the posts about AMS2 are how to get it to work in ways where a separate dryer might be a better fit. There’s definitely use cases for AMS2. I’d bet it’s really handy for high throughput single color stuff. But point taken.
