I am trying to print a large object on my H2D. The supports (trees) need to print in the “Left Nozzle Only” and “Right Nozzle Only” Zones. The slicing result always only shows a single filament on a single nozzle. I can drag and drop it to the Right or Left nozzle, but I am not able to assign a filament to both nozzles. As a result, I cannot complete this print, even though it fits the printing bed.
I have an AMS, but I cannot connect to it (my H2D doesn’t detect my Wifi for some reason). I am trying to assign filaments to nozzles manually.
My apologies if this is a basic question. I have tried to find a guide from Bambu, but there is no clear answer.
If I understand the question correctly - and I mean if - in the context that AMS doesn’t work.
That’s not possible the way you’re imagining it. These are two different material paths, and you can’t just switch back and forth between them.
However, there is a solution if you want to use the same filament for both material paths. Simply split one spool into two, using the same filament for both the left and right paths. You will just need an empty spool to wind the filament onto, or you can use a second spool of the same filament.
This also applies to the slicer settings and printer settings.
Take a look: This is what it looks like inside: The filament cannot simply move from left to right or vice versa. There are two separate paths. That’s why you need two spools.
It looks like a few separate issues which should all be resolveable though.
Regarding the WiFi, you may be able to succeed if you are able to split your Network into two. One for the 2,4GHz and one for the 5GHz. Then connect your mobile and your printer to the 2,4GHz.
The AMS should be detected by the printer though. And be usable. @RetroSharky already explained that a switch of the nozzles is not possible (without a Filament Track Switch).
However, I am a bit puzzled as to why an identical filament should be printed from different nozzles for support and the model. With multi-nozzle size printing not yet possible (without fooling the printer), I have trouble vosualizimg a scenario where this would be neccessary. Maybe you can just use the same nozzle for support as for the main model? It is the usual approach with a single filament.

Edit: Addendum: Maybe you can provide a few pic’s? The printer screen for filament, the routing of your AMS, screenshots of the slice?
The issue is that the H2D can not cover the entire build plate with one nozzle. And the tree supports on one side should be printed with the 2nd nozzle, to be able to reach it.
This is basically a job for the H2S.
I don’t know if it’s possible to use modifiers to control the material of a part of the support, then that could resolve the issue.
It wouldn’t hurt to define a different color in the slicer to control the nozzle choice but just place the same on each nozzle on the printer.
You are correct. I did not read the problem description properly.
@RetroSharky solution should sort out that problem though.
Or, depending on the model, classic supports may lower the required footprint enough to just use one extruder. But I assume @NClemens probably tried that already.
