Has Anyone Successfully Printed Silk with the FTS attached to the H2C

Has Anyone Successfully Printed Silk with the FTS attached to the H2C

First time printing Silk with the FTS installed, and have gotten 5 popups warning me of this. Anyone print silk using the FTS? Any Issues?

This is a weird prime tower

All PETG. Had never seen it do this (only when you mixed material). Anyone else seeing this?

FTS filament behavior

I understood, when installing the FTS, that the filament would pull back to the FTS and not all the way back to the AMS. I’m not seeing that behavior. Is anyone else?

FTS is just really not getting it right (on the H2C)

So….i really don’t get this FTS, TBH. The integration with the H2C makes no sense, and really doesn’t save any time that I can see right now. Have a two color print. Slicer assigns both colors to the Vortek side. However, when I swap one nozzle to the left, the job saves 15 minutes. Why didn’t the slicer just do that? We have a switch and still have to manually move filaments around to see which configuration saves more time?

The most I’ve seen so far is the slicer suggesting a 15s saving by moving a filament to another AMS.

H2C Filament K Values After Installing FTS

Is anyone else noticing, now that the FTS is installed, the K value which were assigned according to filament type (PLA, PETG, etc.) are not longer in the slicer under the device tab? I've noticed that they sometimes show up, but usually don't (anymore). Is anyone else noticing this? Does this mean I have to turn Flow Dynamics Calibration back on? Thanks

Let's Talk about Filament Placement using the FTS

So, like many of you with the H2C, and based on the "hoopla" I've installed the FTS on the H2C, got it set up and working, pretty simple, no issues. Real world scenario, printing something simple, two colors, sliced it and to my surprise, the slicer recommends both colors from the Vortek side. I think to myself, but why not left and right nozzle? Printing from the Vortek side, 56M. If I move one of the filaments to the left side, 1 hour and 4M. So.....I guess I'm confused (and yes I've read the article on Dynamic Mapping like here: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/software/bambu-studio/filament-track-switch-dynamic-mapping, but still trying to figure out where the real benefit of the FTS lies. This seems to indicate that the right side, in and of itself, is still faster than using the FTS and the dual nozzles (i.e. left and right side of the printer) vs just using the Vortek by itself. If the purpose of the FTS is to "break the fixed binding relationship between filament and nozzles", then what the heck is going on? Would you really ONLY see an advantage on a machine like the H2D....? I'm not feeling it here...What about you guys and your experiences?

Bambu Labs Slicer version for H2C with Filament Track Switch

What is the BBL version of software which I should be running if I have the filament track switch on the H2C (along with the firmware update)? Thanks

I have a 2024X5. Had not really noticed how bad this black line cuts through the high beams. Is this “normal” or do I have an issue? Two photos. One low beams one high beams. Thanks

According to Chat GPT, this is:

“Heatbed surface foreign object detection” =
The printer checks the build plate for anything that shouldn’t be there before starting a print.

What it’s actually looking for:

  • Leftover failed prints
  • Scraps of filament
  • Purge blobs
  • Tools or debris on the plate
  • Anything that could mess up leveling or first layer
