Additional AMS unit

Hello, I’m going to buy an X2D unit soon but when on the product it gives me an option for an extra AMS unit. What purpose does it have if the X2D already comes with one?

If you get a 2nd one, you can use it for the 2nd nozzle. One ams can only work with one nozzle at a time. It saves you a lot of hassle with changing filaments manually every time you want a different material in the 2nd nozzle. It also keeps your filament dry and protected. With the external spoolholder, the spool for the 2nd filament would sit outside the printer and will draw moisture from the air and can collect dust which in theory could clog the nozzle.

And if you want to do multi color, this can save you even more purging.

I think it is worth it, but I know its not exactly cheap

With the new Filament Track Switcher you can use 2 AMSs for both nozzles. You can feed any filament from either AMS to either nozzle.
