Hello everyone, I have a question on my mind. I’m curious about your thoughts. As you know, the H2D comes with two extruders, which means incredible time and material savings for multi-color printing. However, from my initial observations, when one extruder is working, the other does not switch to the next filament in advance; it waits until its turn to change (even in a 2 AMS setup). Can this be improved with a future update, or is there a reason for this limitation that I might not be seeing?
I was thinking about this myself and only good reason for not loading second filament until it’s needed or just before is that the not used filament is going to have a lot of flexing in the ptfe tube before any extrusion and that might cause it to break.

Based on reviews, I think the 2nd filament sits in the prfe tube anyway. Someone said it breaks in the tube after a while of not switching. I imagine bambu will have an update to fix it. Maybe always pull it back when its not being used for a certain number of layers.
The reason it doesnt completely prepare the next color, is because it cant purge while printing.
