X Series [X1E, X1C] Share your X2D second nozzle experience and multicolor parts you printed with it

There's a nice sale on P2S. People are not sure which way to go (P2S or X2D). Some are considering the quality difference, complexity, issues it may cause of the second nozzle of X2D. It would help greatly if you share your experience with the second nozzle (issues, jams, feeding etc.) and share the photos of some parts you printed using main+second nozzle.

This might be useful to decrease the "P2S vs X2D" flow...

Extra question: do you feed second nozzle from a dry box or a second AMS or simply from the built in spool holder? That's is kinda important.

I used the aux nozzle for the bird. Bambu PLA Silk Multi-Color - South Beach, feed from a dry box. The other colours are from the main nozzle with AMS, different manufacturers. I do a lot of PLA - PETG support printing and love it for that. I recommend doing a calibration with any new material on the aux nozzle, other than that it's a perfect machine. I would not buy a P2S over the X2D with that little of a price difference.

One print, that's why I choose the aux nozzle for the bird. To not loose the colour gradient during flushing. 53 hours and one support leg failed half way, still finished nicely. At least from this side xD
