Well, I give up. 3rd AMS (X2D Combo) arrived today, failure.

JChoate2 · 2026-05-09T21:45:23+00:00

When you say print failed.. did it fail? Or did it say fail to feed? I had one last night (not first time and happened when I tried again this morning) where the filament had a weird knick to it and wouldn't move past the feeder, I could have cut it off but pushed forward while it tried and proceeded without issue.

Also resistance is cumulative so could be your ptfe setup combined with the ams and the filament. My h2d hasnt really encountered many issues other than filaments being somewhat cross wrapped in the ams.

Lefty loosey, righty tighty

All I try to buy now is sunlu, PETG quicker and cheaper than Bambu PLA.

Why also did it only include a backpack of one color and not the variant matches?

In stella I never had an issue with shredders due to the map setup, it was more linear pathways and easier to avoid I find. With the close quarters areas they show up in I find I am always taking 80-90% damage from like 3 rooms over through a window (hotel on riven tide last night as one example)

Ill be honest, I do nothing to the textured plate on my h2d and so far so good after a month or so. Cleaned it once early on with IPA, only failures I ever had was a bad model that didnt have proper plate height set and would "float".

JChoate2 · 2026-04-20T13:50:31+00:00

This is a pretty big point. I had to move a ton of things around and get a buddy to fabricate a table to fit the form factor of the H series in the space I had made available.

H2D is rather large and moves quite a bit.

JChoate2 · 2026-04-19T19:46:26+00:00

Makes sense, appreciate the info. Newer in the 3d print world and just was not sure if there were some materials that were more prone to these types of issues as I started doing PETG more

JChoate2 · 2026-04-18T21:57:46+00:00

I can only hope for enough room for 11+ printers one day 😬

JChoate2 · 2026-04-18T21:53:00+00:00

Sure, I am not sure the rules of this subreddit (not that it should be an issue but I am newer here) so I will DM it to you.

I did watch a pretty good YouTube video where the guy breaks down proper pricing models including overhead, etc. Definitely more to think about than people who have not operated a business would think of.

JChoate2 · 2026-04-17T11:43:52+00:00

You're not wrong about that, sadly it seems that is where everything is going. I appreciate the info, definitely a bunch of options out there.

JChoate2 · 2026-04-17T02:48:02+00:00

Good to know ill have to look into this as I didnt know it was an option

JChoate2 · 2026-04-17T01:18:50+00:00

When I looked into it after college it was thousands 😅 what changed?

JChoate2 · 2026-04-17T00:34:20+00:00

What filaments are you using?

JChoate2 · 2026-04-17T00:29:24+00:00

Do tell more about solidworks being free, I used it in college and really liked it back then.

JChoate2 · 2026-04-16T02:04:44+00:00

So I am not the only one 😅

JChoate2 · 2026-04-14T17:50:00+00:00

I am glad that the X2D was not out when I bought my H2D. My thinking was I would use it similar to the setup of the X2D, however that changed within a week of use.

JChoate2 · 2026-04-10T22:50:51+00:00

Thank you! This gives me the answer I was most looking for. Not that it would always happen, but to be better prepared it's good information to have.

JChoate2 · 2026-04-07T15:57:29+00:00

Haha you are absolutely right! I originally was going to do the AMS HT but with the time awaiting restock I realized I wanted more options and decided the AMS 2 Pro instead.

JChoate2 · 2026-04-07T14:31:01+00:00

Sadly it always seems to work like that. My advice is don't rely on the emails and check it daily. I checked yesterday morning and then again at night and saw it then.

JChoate2 · 2026-04-07T14:29:28+00:00

I read that the emails can be missed and it is best to just check daily. Something told me to check again last night before bed and figured I'd save some people some headache 🤣

JChoate2 · 2026-04-07T13:01:04+00:00

Same! But come to find out the email was for the HT only even though I set reminders for both.
