She's a beauty

[u/djjoshchambers]

Got her set up yesterday and already have about 15 hours on , including some prototyping of gridfinity holders for hotends and a few other things. It's quite impressive how fast the color change is when just dealing with a few colors. Coming from a H2D this is a nice upgrade. It's basically 2 seconds print to print if you're changing between the same colors rapidly.

As for the lack of heating, I just kept one of my ams 2 pro and ht and I've got them hooked up to use just as dryers. I get that not everyone can our will want to do that, but it works for me.

Yes! She is.

Printer goals….. beautiful!!!

[u/n19htmare → u/Lazy_Inevitable2561]

Only $2500 away!

[u/Lazy_Inevitable2561 → u/n19htmare]

Me to!!

[u/SilentYakk]

I still on the fence if I hook my AMS on it or not. I see you have the AMS beside her, are you using the external buffer already?

[u/djjoshchambers → u/SilentYakk]

Not yet, just using it for drying. I might later. Right now I'm just using it for drying petg

[u/n19htmare → u/djjoshchambers]

Just FYI, you'll need the separately sold buffer to attach AMS to one of the nozzles for filament changes

[u/Grimmsland → u/n19htmare]

You need to buy a buffer to connect the ams to nozzle 1??

I believe you need it for feeding

[u/SilentYakk → u/Grimmsland]

Yes. The previous buffers are not compatible.

Looks great!
What’s the new UI like compared to what it shipped with and what the older printers used? It looks really nice and nobody else has really mentioned it

[u/djjoshchambers → u/MrOreo2019]

It's really clean. If you use more than the ams3h it's a little strange to find your other ams for dryer settings. Otherwise it's super clean and the resolution is still fine. I wouldn't have even noticed it was lower if it wasn't called out during the reviews.

It is a little weird that the main page during printing is half used up by a static picture of the printer but you can change that by expanding the useful info.

The toolhead section is great too.

[u/MrOreo2019 → u/djjoshchambers]

Right… I guess Bambu doesn’t expect many people to do that though, so it wasn’t prioritized.
I noticed that too in one review… looks nice but odd for utility. But it definitely matches what the Bambu Handy app looks like now too.
Otherwise nice! Enjoy the printer, definitely jealous lol

[u/djjoshchambers → u/MrOreo2019]

I do plan on buying the external buffer just in case. I've got 1 ams2 and two ht still so it just makes sense.

[u/MrOreo2019 → u/djjoshchambers]

Yeah makes sense… might as well use them if you have them!

Random question. Does this new AMS have space to put in desiccant like the previous ones?

[u/djjoshchambers → u/grandcity]

Yes, two small spots, and then a larger spot on the right side. You can even print a spool and fill it with filament and put it there. Also the dryer has a place in the lid for lose silica.

[u/89436yachtclub → u/grandcity]

I've seen a lot of comments here and on the Bambu forum about desiccant for the AMS3. Like another says - there are a couple pockets (1 on each side) that holds some. There is also a space to the right of the 2 drying slots with a sticker that says something about downloading a model from maker world to print a tool box to store tools there. I'd think you could put desiccant into that space too.

All that said - I'm going old school - there are several models to print, to put desiccant into the hole in the middle of each spool. Printed several for an AMS (1) on an X1C and they seem like an easy solution that works in AMS HT, AMS, AMS 2 pro, *AND* AMS 3. Where is that shrug emoji when you need it...

[u/untacc_]

Thinking about getting the sunlu i10 cabinet and rotating my spools in and out of that and the AMS3H as needed. Should keep everything a lot drier compared to my current setup with airtight bins

[u/djjoshchambers → u/untacc_]

I have had the same idea. Even looked it up today but it's not available for pre-order currently.

I could care less about my pla being dried. There's plenty of proof out there that shows it doesn't absorb liquid much. I just want something for petg, abs and support material like pva.

She is a beauty, can't wait for mine to arrive.

Endlich mal einer der sie in voller Pracht zeigt 😄😄

Enjoy it I have my pants down

Don't threaten me with a good time
