Do you include bed leveling and startup as part of the time when printing a benchy?

Print time not counting pre-print ritual: 20 minutes

I assume not

It literally makes you remove the PLA from the feeders to do ANY drying

Not sure I understand.

Since it’s able to change colors by itself, that means load/unload, and you just have to tell to do that, not physically do it yourself, right?

No, I didn’t start until it started the first layer.

I’m not disputing that. Just saying the convenience isn’t that great.

I would agree with this to some extent. I’ve used the drying function; it’s neat. It’s not 100% practical.

If I have mixed filaments loaded in, which I usually do, I can’t really go with the best temperature. I’d have to go for the lowest. It also ties up the machine.

I’m wondering a few things though, because as a dryer I like it more than current stand alone units. I think the AMS HT will be a better suited dryer. Especially if we could have it drying while a print is going on. I mean, as long as it doesn’t have to access it, right?

Could we do that with the AMS 2 Pro, if we had two units? Could one be activly drying with no filament loaded/being used, while the other unit is in use?

At the least two units would be good if you tend to mix materials. Have one setup for ABS/PETG, while the other is setup for PLA. Or something like that.

I think the AMS HT is gonna be the real winner though.

Well, you load it into the AMS, then load the filament into the feeder. When drying, so it can rotate the spool freely, you have to pull the filament out of the feeder. The AMS can’t push it out fully on it’s own.

…Got it, thanks.

has anyone tried to hook up a USB hub or a USB Ethernet adapter to the USB port?

pretty sure it will be possible, as i’ve had the AMS drying and printing from the external spool, the principle is the same, you do get a recommendation on the printer to connect the AMS to power though, but it lets you do it

I cannot find any reviews that show print quality results using plain nylon 12 without gf/cf additives. Like fiberlogy PA12. This is important for printing engineering filaments that are skin safe for wearables and hand held objects.

Is the heated chamber hot enough to produce good results?

It would be awesome to see good/bad results on different sized prints to get an idea for the limits of the printer.

Thanks!
