Sold my two A1s and decided to de-clutter my "printing area".
Table: https://www.3d-printiverse-shop.com/collections/printbase-modulare-3d-druck-tische
Not pictured: the 2nd AMS2pro since I was just printing TPU from the HT on the Pandaperch.
wdyt?
Made a custom profile for Siraya Tech PEBA Air on my H2C.
When I set up a print I can select it as the (custom) filament just fine. But in the device tab, where you assign what's physically loaded in each slot or external spool, it doesn't show up. Only Generic TPU appears as an option there.
So I'm stuck selecting Generic TPU in the device tab while using my custom PEBA Air profile in the slicer.
Two questions: how do you actually get a custom profile to appear in the device tab dropdown? And more practically: does using Generic TPU in the device tab while running a custom profile in the slicer actually screw up anything? Or is that just a label that doesn't touch the real print settings like nozzle temp, bed temp, flow rate?
I seem to not be able to get my print settings right with TPU and PEBA - so I am looking at this for the hopefully most obvious (part of the) solution.

I am trying to print some PEBA on the right nozzle via the external spool.
I've created different filament profiles for different temperatures to get different bounciness.
However, I am absolutely not able to select that filament in the device tab of Bamboo Studio, assign it to the external spool on the right nozzle.
I have copy-pasted, edited, and manipulated filament JSON files with Claude now for a few days, and somehow we're still not getting it.
Please, wisdomcrowd of reddit, help me out!

Let it be known that here WE DO talk about Ball, a lot^^:-)
Working with the generic TPU profile that I adapted to the parameters I found on the Soraya website. Dried in my HT for 12 hours, humidity is at 9%. Feeding into the right extruder with the TPU assist module.
Still very much lost.
Since there is an abundance of parameters in the filament settings, what would you want to see to potentially be able to point me towards where I strayed from the path?
After a very successful print of the whale, buried on the right nozzle, I decided to get a little frisky... Created a PLA profile and gave it the Soraya Flex TPU 85A parameters.
Currently five layers in, so far so good.
It started with an A1. It continued with a second A1 and two AMS Lites. Topmounts, Z-Stiffeners, the whole shebang. So much fun!
I then tried some TPU, didn't really work... especially when it came to supports. Also, the massive amounts of poop I generated (well, the A1s did) when I was printing a 4-color-set of Catan for 6 players was truly off-putting.
So I decided to upgrade, and while at it, why not upgrade all the way? An H2C it was. Plus, the prospect of printing shoes and highly detailed eight-color sets of Catan was truly enticing.
Now I've just set up the thing, and was made aware by the printer that the left nozzle, which is the fixed one, could actually not be used to print TPU. Looking back at all the YouTube videos I watched, it should have been obvious that people were mentioning the right nozzle all the time when it came to printing TPU.
My idealistic idea was to set up TPU on the external nozzle with an H2S and keep all the PLA and PETG on the other nozzle to either print supports... or do colorful things.
Hardwiring the right nozzle to TPU makes the whole non-poop advantage go away. It also means that I need to swap everything and everyone whenever I switch from TPU to Multicolor PLA-printing.
So here I am with a stack of AMSs and crawling into the damn printer to disconnect and reconnect PTFE tubes every time I want to print some TPU - It won't even help to get a filament track switcher, since that will all lead to the non-Vortek (left) nozzle then (back to poop-town).
Maybe I'm missing something, and maybe it will not be so bad. And I know it's on me, and me alone - but I am still slightly annoyed.
/rant over, let's print something :-)
Hallöchen Gemeinde,
"Muss" zwecks des geplanten Drucks von Schulen etc meine zwei A1er auf einen H2D upgraden (mit 2xAMS2pro und HT)
Was nicht heißen soll, dass die A1er dann wegkommen^^
Ich würde das ganze allerdings sehr gerne halbwegs mobil gestalten, so wie ich bei meinen beiden A1 die AMS-Lites als Top Mounts habe, um die Drucker gerne dort aufzustellen, wo sie gerade am wenigsten stören.
Jetzt hat der H2D empfohlene Platzmaße von 70 x 70 Zentimetern.
Leider bin ich bei der Web-Suche nach "rollbaren Schwerlastwerkstattbänken" in diesen Maßen nicht fündig geworden... Vor allem weil ich gerne die beiden AMS2pro und das HT-AMS mit- (also über/unter dem Drucker, an oder auf der Werkbank) schieben wollen würde. Auf Amazon findet man ein paar anscheinend oder angeblich geeignete China-Produkte, die aber immer sehr schlechte Bewertungen haben.
"Job to be done" wäre eine rechteckige aber platzsparende Werkbank mit Rollen, auf der ich den Drucker abstellen und die beiden AMSpro und das AMS HT montiere... Äh. Super wäre halt so 70x70 direkt, mit Platz für die AMS "unten drunter", wenn das überhaupt geht (TPU muss ja immer von oben gefüttert werden).
Der empfohlene Platzbedarf für den H2D ist laut Bambu 70x70cm, obwohl der Drucker selbst nur knapp über 50 cm tief ist. Der Bror Servierwagen ist nur 55cm tief, fällt also, wenn man danach geht, aus.
Die Frage ist auch, ob die dann insgesamt drei AMS-Systeme im Bror-Servierwagen unten Platz finden und ob das überhaupt Sinn macht als "Servierwagen", oder der uU zu wackelig ist. Oder overthinke ich das grad?
Daher Frage "an den Chat", ob eine/r von euch vielleicht eine Idee hat 😄
