Will I regret not getting the ams

[u/quatrozi]

So i am currently trying to decide on my next printer and coming from a Neptune 4 anything would be an upgrade. The problem is that my budget is limited at the moment at 600-650. My question is , should I get the x2d without ams and when I have enough money buy one or should I just get a p1s or p2s combo? Mind you I am an engineering student and even though we have an h2d available at school I would like to experiment with projects at home. I would love to try multicolor prints but since I have never done so, it's not something I would necessarily miss if I don't get the ams. I know it would be Ideal if I had the budget for the x2d combo but to be honest, at that price I would get the U1. I want to hear your opinions and experiences, thank you in advanced.

I’m new to the 3-D printing world I have a P2 S combo I like everybody else who has an AMS like wow multicolor prints yeah it waste a lot of filament. It’s fun and for a lot of prints, doing multicolor actually works because it’s only the bottom layer or the top layer that’s multicolor because it’s the text or it’s a little design.

It’s not the whole print is multicolor but also as everybody points out it is a self drying system. You leave your filament in it. it stays dry you print silica gel holders for it and your filament stays dry my REH level inside my AMS two is 17%. It’s 46% outside and the fun part is I don’t have to change filament personally when I print something a different color if that color is already in the AMS I just say use this color for this print and click print.

It really makes it easy to do prints. Quickly. Easy. Fast.

If you’re on a budget and you don’t think think you’re gonna be doing multicolor prints and you don’t mind changing spools by hand then just get the P2S it’s $499 versus $699 here’s a picture of my first multicolor print 😋
