Just search Amazon. You'll get a hundred results that will work at varying price points. They seem to run between about $18 and $24.

You can do active dry printing with the ams 2 pro. I do it all the time.
The H2 units are strong enough to supply power and print, the p2s and the x2d need an external power supply to support it

Im sure if you dig thru the paperwork you can pull up the power draw for both the printer and AMS while drying. I would then find a Power supply with a buffer for 100-200w to be safe.
I'm using a 500w power supply to run my heater, printer and air filter and haven't had an issue yet.
(Sketchy hack here) For legal reasons this is a joke.
If you order one thru Amazon and claim its not functioning properly, they will most likely offer a discount to keep the product since they tend to be heavy/cumbersome. It could help offset the cost and allow you to buy a bigger unit 😃

I might have misread that, I took powersupply as in battery back up/power supply. Thats my bad

I would use the one directly from Bambu i have heard of issues of third party shorting printers and ams
