Heating is NOT Drying!
Who can tell the difference?

Am I reading that right as only one intake on the right?
So it’s sucking warm air in from inside the AMS and blowing cold air out to air condition my house. The thermodynamics are genius!

Just like the leaked FAQ mentioned, it’s able to close this port to make it fully airtight after drying.

They are teasing us too much…
Should I read this as that their competitors only heat the filament, temporarily drying the filament while AMS HT will also block and seal the case to make it air tight to prevent the filament to regain humidity?
Should we read it as that the filament gets preheated before the print?
Will the AMS utilize the hot air from the preheated print chamber ?
So many questions…

We’ll know for sure once the unit is released, but it looks like they listened to some of the most common complaints and did something about them.
How effective the changes are, will be seen in the reviews.
With it being compatible with the P1/X1 series, I can see people buying one of these once the external power supply is released.
The FAQ says you an use the AMS 2 Pro and AMS with the H2D, but doesn’t mention whether this will work with the X1/P1.
The FAQ states:
I would assume you can just plug and play since it’ll be controlled with a Bambu Studio update (assumedly)?
Yes I know it says the 2 Pro is compatible with the previous series. I can read too.
You missed the point of my comment. It specifically states you can use an AMS and AMS 2 pro with the H2D IN COMBINATION, but says nothing about this option with the X1 and P1. You are ASSUMING it also applies to the existing printers. I’d prefer a statement saying it’s a fact.

Shuts off after the humidity level drops below the set point? And turns back on if it goes above set point?
Beacuse if its already dry, “heating is not drying”
Other dryers are stupid as far as actual active control. If Im right, it could automatically change heating level and fan speed based on feedback from a humidity and temp sensor.
This way, we can set and forget.
This would also make it worth buying more than 1. Maintain up to 24 rolls
Atleat, this would be what I would want. A little flap that closes, wont help when you open the lid to remove or insert a roll.

Ahh, I see what you mean now, thanks for the clarification. I mean yeah, as stated I was assuming, but that’s only because we don’t have any other info at the moment. Suppose I should have said “hopefully” but oh well. Only 2 and a bit more days though until hopefully we get the answers we want
Bambu, I find it kinda comical that you keep teasing it. We already know everything except the price

Could they be talking about a vacuum? After all, heating does not dry the air; it only reduces the humidity level.
Can we read it as the AMS pro and AMS HT is basically same spec other than HT supporting (High Temperature) for PPA / PPS and similar engineering grade filaments ?
If they are cross compatible with X1/P1 printers this is realy nice.
One thing I really want is to be able to have a AMS hub that can deliver filaments to multiple printers at the same time. But I don’t think that wish will be granted 
Most likely, they have to remove the heated and humid air, so a vacuum would make sense.
Heating along is not drying, I think that’s what it meant. The AMS 2 Pro auto vents and rotates the spools when drying, then shuts off the vent when drying is done to ensure the dried filaments stay dry longer. So there are improvements over some of the filament driers out there.
Not sure if the H2D will have enough features to justify a buy yet, but I will be getting the AMS 2 Pro, primarily for the more powerful feeding motors and the see-through connection tube (?) for easier trouble shooting. Drying is a secondary consideration for me since I haven’t had to dry anything so far. But it is good to have it for when I need to print materials like PA.

Image reminds me of the Solid-State Dehumidifier video that CNC kitchen did about a year ago. AMS may have the ability to heat for removing the bulk of the moisture from freshly added spools and then just maintains the humidity level with the solid-state dehumidifier.

If BL can have the drying automatically turned on when the humidity inside the AMS 2 Pro reaches a certain level and shuts off when the level is below a threshold, that will make it even more convenient. “Plug it and forget it” operation.
So a filament humidor? Fancy 
No, it’s a filament Dehumidor.
