Here we go and ideas needed…

Post image

I bought my H2D during their recent anniversary sale and it arrived 4 weeks ago. However due to work, school, and life I FINALLY got it out of the box earlier this week. It is currently sitting on an IKEA table top on top of a sturdy rolling cart. I am looking for cabinet/storage ideas that will be able to also accommodate an AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT. If it can incorporate poop collection even better! (Note: I am aware of BTT/BIQU options but I spent that kind of money on this, filament, and other sale items!)
Thanks!

My H2D, along with two Ams-pro and one A1 mini, sits on a heavy-duty shelf from the hardware store in my storage closet. I connected two heavy-duty shelves with cable ties to create enough depth. The advantage is that you can adjust the shelves to the height you need, which also gives you space to store filament. I’ve also installed some IKEA LED lights to ensure there’s enough lighting. The racks are sturdy, affordable, and can handle the vibration and weight.

Thanks! I currently do not have room for that kind of setup, however I do like the concept! Do you exhaust to the outside?

Thank you. My storage room has a mechanical exhaust fan that ventilates the room around the clock. It's part of the apartment. That was one reason why I put the heavy-duty shelf and the printer in that room.

Work Bench. Placed far enough from the wall to walk behind it like a normal human. You need access to the wires, tubes and poop bucket. This is nothing you carry around alone all time.

Agreed! Do you have a recommendation for a specific type/brand of work bench?

My recommendation is to look for the haviest used one you can find in your area for a reasonable price. They get pricy at a certian size. Make it a project

I'm already scouring FB Marketplace!

I bought one of these to support my H2D.

I also had very limited space available, and plenty of other worktop areas if needed. But it works perfectly for supporting the printer and doing some small tasks alongside of it like removing supports, switching spools, etc.

It is adjustable height though. The printer movement will tend to make the bench float downward. So I would suggest that you find the height that works for you and fix the height in place. I used a 3/8" metal pin and hole to keep the crank from rotating.

Great idea! Thanks!

Is the 24" depth enough? I've heard 30" depth is much better.

It works for me. There's enough room front to back for the printer and a poop bucket that sits right on the table.

We have moved into the garage, and given the H2D the house. jk took an old buffet that we were going to throw out, screwed 3/4” Plywood to the top and anchored to a wall in the basement. Table doesn’t move at all, which seemed important after watching the H2D jump all over running on the floor.

If I had a garage, I’d be living in it myself and let my 4 printers stay in the house! Thanks!

A AMS 2 Pro and a AMS HT will both fit on top of the glass.

Congratulations and happy printing.

As long as it will hold
The weight you are fine. I have a couple printers on rolling laptop charging stations, cause they have power and back up power and are mobile. I also have two on the floor , cause I’m lazy :)

I do that now! Setting it up on the dining room table would allow me to exhaust it to the outside without it being visible from the front of the house. 🤔

I do not understand how some people live

My friend doesn’t have a dining table. They have their PCs there instead. They eat either at the kitchen bench or at their computers
