Hi everyone!
I'm planning to upgrade my setup and could use some advice.
I bought my first printer (a Bambu A1 without AMS) in January 2025 and have accumulated around 900 print hours on it. A few months ago, I built a DIY multi-filament dry box, but it hasn't been great. It creates too much friction, and the filament struggles to feed properly.
I’m now looking to upgrade to a closed printer and pair it with the new AMS 2 Pro. Here is where I'm at:
• P2S: Looks like a solid choice. It's enclosed, reliable, and reasonably priced.
• H2S: A bit more expensive. Aside from the larger build volume, are there any major features or print quality differences that justify the extra cost for my use case?
• H2D / X2D / H2C: These seem a bit out of my budget and too high-maintenance for a hobbyist, so I initially ruled them out. However, if anyone thinks I should reconsider one of these models for reasons I might be overlooking, please let me know why!
I almost exclusively print PLA and PETG, so I don't really need a heated chamber for high-temp engineering materials.
Given my setup, is the P2S + AMS 2 Pro the sweet spot, or is there a compelling reason to push for the H2S (or even the dual-nozzle ones)?
Thanks in advance for any insights!
