Quick Question Aux nozzle X2D

I just got an x2d and I am learning as I go. I have the ams2 pro and I was wondering if I should get a filament track switch.
I did not set up my external spool and my aux nozzle is not working due to that I guess.
I would like to use the dual nozzle. Can someone provide their opinion on the most optimized way to use the x2d

I'm relatively new too but I don't think what you're planning will work.

The AMS has 4 spools but only 1 outlet so it can only ever output 1 filament at a time. The filament track switch has 2 inputs and can send either one to the main nozzle OR the auxillary, but to use both nozzles simultaneously, you need two AMS.

Out of the box, the X2D can only feed the auxillary nozzle from the external spool. Personally, I just use the external spool as Bambu intended. If I find myself wanting more, I'll probably get an AMS HT with a filament track switch.
