Ok, new (couple weeks) to the H2D, I had a P2S. I need help in wrapping my head around filament groupings in multiple AMSs.
As said I have a H2D with one AMS on the left nozzle and one AMS and two HTs on the right nozzle.
I am doing a cartoon print of me which is 9 colors… it is a way I torture my daughter-in-law and son-in-laws (for fun)… they have a collection of items of me in this pose.
So my question is do I simply place the assigned colors shown in the grouping screen in the corresponding slot in the AMSs (and, of course set them as those colors on the H2D screen)? In other words, do is simply put color #1 in the first slot of left AMS then color #5 in the second slot of left AMS, and then color #6 in the third slot in the left AMS, and so on, and so on… independent of their color # in Bambu Studio’s “Project Filaments” layout?
Might be simple to you, but it is confusing to me. Thanks for your response to my dilemma
I am probably wrong here, so take with a bucket of artisan salt. I thought only getting the left and right side mattered. There should not be any difference between slot 1 vs slot 4 on the AMS. I think it’s ordering them numerically in the AMS.
You could order them, re-sync the slice. See which filament is the largest in time and move it once in the same AMS and left vs right to see if the time changes.
The order you place them in the AMSCis not important, the slicer (Bambu Studio) will look at the filaments in the respective AMS units and handle that four you.
Just make sure you put the colours they indicators into Left and Right AMS units.
The matching occurs when you get the print window.
To help you understand a couple of things:
The Project Filaments are to let you colour your models. Their order is not important when you actually print.
Filament Grouping helps you waste the least material. You can override it, but it is usually smarter than us.
The Print Window provides swatches to match the colours (filaments) you have available, check each one and tweak as required. You are not choosing order, just matching material and colour from the model to the available spools.
The Print Window swatches mean you can change what is used irrespective of the model choices.
If your model has red, white and blue, but you wish to use black, red and yellow, you do not need to change the model, just assign red to black, white to red and blue to yellow, or any other mix.
If you use Bambu Handy, you have likely experienced this from a different angle. A model shown in blue and red, you decide looks best in green and yellow for your needs.
