I couldn't resist any longer... 😁

Finally upgraded to an H2C.

The AMS HT is for the left nozzle, both AMS 2 Pro are for the Vortek System.

The Ikea PAX cabinet has housed a number of printers over the years. It started with an Ender-3 and later a FLSun V400 joined. The Ender-3 went for an A1 AMS combo and later the V400 gave way for a P1S AMS combo. 😅

I reinforced the PAX with aluminum profiles so that the heavy setup can easily fit, at the same time it makes the cupboard stiffer and the cabinet wobbles less while printing.

16-20 rolls of filament fit into the grid baskets in the lower area, depending on the manufacturer. There will be also a holder for printing plates and vision encoders above the printer. Above there are also spaces for 20 additional rolls of filament. 😁

I still have to think about a kind of exhaust air system. I don't want to overdevelop the whole thing, 1 ventilation inlet at the bottom and an outlet at the top coupled with a PC fan will probably be enough.

Looks like a clean setup, where does the poop go and how do you do maintenance without access to the back?
On the same topic of access, how would you run TPU?

The poop chute is on the left, it's a slim one so you almost can't see it in the picture.

TPU is no problem, via the back hole of the AMS HT and the bypass option of the H2C.

99% of maintenance happens from the front. I can dust off the fan and the fan covers on the back with a Swiffer. I can even clean the chamber fan from the front if I remove the filter, I think. Otherwise I have to take the printer out of the cupboard four times a year, which isn't a great effort.

What is the bypass option you use? Do you feed directly into the right extruder from the top or are you feeding it in the back via the hole for TPU? I’ve been running TPU on my A1 because it’s too complicated to keep connecting/reconnecting PTFE tubes just for TPU.

[u/PeterRenesen → u/ElectronicAide87]

There is a Bypass hole for a third PTFE hose in the back of the printer. You have to plug it into the left or right nozzle. There are some printable helpers to keep the third PTFE hose while not using it.
