I’ll certainly participate in any print quality comparisons if agreed-upon models are posted.
uhm, that’s exactly how PVA is supposed to be used, to print the entire support structure. Basically the idea is that you can make items like this easily with PVA support:
And yes, it addes switching time, but H2D is already one of the fastest PVA printing machines in the consumer markets now.
But you can’t make it with Support for PLA/PETG/… as they’re just interface support materials. So the supports inside the ball would be very hard to remove (because they’re solid PLA)

In that case I’ll probably just sell the PVA cheap on ebay. I had intended on using it for my helicopter which is printed on the nose with supports for the open cockpit. It already takes my p1s 11h to print whereas the h2d takes 12h with optimal settings of black on one nozzle and green glow pla on the other. There is a little green glow on the dash. I rather just continue ripping the tree supports off and quickly sanding the area where it was attached. I even have a rotary took now to use instead of sanding sticks.
Here is the model. It’s a Helicopter I designed from an action figure comic book.
I’ve been thinking of buying one of those as well. I guess the important thing to be aware of is to avoid getting one with a high rpm?
Exacly. I got this 4v Rotary Tool for only $27. I figured it would be the right speed for the job but I’m still getting used to it. Ruined an 11h print because I accidentally sanded a dent into the top of the cockpit. I almost got the 8v that would have been too much for sure. Takes getting used to because it still is able to do 5,000 to 18,000 RPMs. I haven’t needed to charge it yet because the jobs I do is just sanding pla.

H2D is my first Bambu printer. I too struggled with Filament loading. In frustration, I power cycled the printer and it then recognized and loaded the filament.
I dunno???
Maybe it will work for you too.
