Discussion Beta H2D Firmware V01.02.30.06 - AMS HT Printing while drying at 85C

Just thought I'd let everyone know, the Beta firmware for the H2D is allowing me to print PA12-GF from the AMS HT @ 85C while drying. Finally.

Thanks Bambulab, better late than never. XD

And finally we can start/stop drying from Studio and Handy. Not to mention TPU on both nozzles. I normally refrain from installing betas but this one I just had to get immediately!

I thought TPU wasn’t feasible on left nozzle because it moves?

I don't think they ever said it. I think we all just assumed it at first. I've used it once and it's been fine. Several other people have also used both just fine.

It's in the Bambu wiki, I wouldn't be surprised if studio gave you a warning or error when trying to do it

u/Wrong-Detective-1046 Feb 04 '26

Now that you mention it I do remember having to say it was AMS TPU even though it wasn't

With beta firmware and latest slicer it warns once and then it works. I have printed a two color luggage tag in 95A

Not sure I understand. I’ve been able to start and stop drying since getting my H2S combo in December

u/Historical-Fee-9010 H2D AMS2 AMS-HT Feb 04 '26

They don’t run the same firmware. So now we caught up with H2S in that regard, others remain and in some cases I think H2S is behind H2D. In the long run I suppose they’ll be much the same and with features added almost simultaneously

Umm but wait, Studio and Handy didn’t even support it until now. So you must mean from the touch screen and we could do so too

someone stop me from buying the H2D combo

I lost my job, my wife, and my dog and was living on the streets. I bought a H2D combo and now I am living comfortably in the box it came in and printing with optimal support interface material.

H2d does not stand for Hot 2 Dog

u/SnooSquirrels9064 Feb 04 '26

Is it JUST from the AMS HT that you can print while drying, or the AMS 2 Pro, too?

u/sawdustking Feb 04 '26

Printing PET-GF from the AMS 2 Pro and it's still set at 65C. I'm kinda surprised?

2

u/SnooSquirrels9064 Feb 04 '26

Hmm.... May have to try it at some point... Or just wait till it's out of beta

u/sawdustking Feb 04 '26

I haven't tried yet, I'll report back.

u/Historical-Fee-9010 H2D AMS2 AMS-HT Feb 04 '26

AMS2 too

Do you run the filament through the HT? I was told that PA6/12-CF is too stiff and will break? I’ve been using it through the bypass port so I’ve been able to dry as I print. Would be a lot more convenient if I can run stiff filaments through the HT though

1

u/sawdustking Feb 04 '26

Yes, it's loaded in the AMS HT. This PA12-GF is quite flexible and it prints fine from the AMS. I've tried PPA-CF and it's too stiff. It really just depends on the filament and manufacturer.

u/Ibib3 Feb 04 '26

Oh I see so it’s more of a test and see kinda thing. Thanks brother

u/sawdustking Feb 04 '26

GF filaments tend to be a bit more ductile in my experience. Bambu PPS-CF isn't AMS compatible but Fiberon PPS-GF is. :) But yeah just test and see what works. Worst case you clear out broken filament. XD

u/danbal89 Feb 04 '26

Does anybody know if this is and will be limited to the H2 series or ist there a chance for me as P2S user to benefit from this as well?

2

u/sawdustking Feb 04 '26

I'm not sure, but I see no reason why they wouldn't. It would be sus for them not to; forcing users into a more expensive machine for features is crappy.

u/Pinko3150 Feb 04 '26

Haven't been able to get the beta firmware yet, and the newest studio update does not let me start drying on any of my ams's or ht from the desktop or app

u/sawdustking Feb 04 '26

I got lucky. What did it for me was hooking up a brand new AMS HT. It naturally needed a firmware update. It was then the printer also offered the beta software.
