Both multi-color AMS printing and soluble supports run on the same filament-swap mechanics, so both cost you extra material and time you should budget for before you press print.
In this episode you'll learn:
Bambu Lab introduced the AMS in May 2022 alongside the X1 Carbon; the box has four slots, two desiccant compartments, and a humidity sensor but no heater, so it keeps filament dry rather than actively drying it.
A standard 0.4 mm hotend holds roughly 50 to 100 mm3 of molten plastic, so the first few centimeters after each color change carry the old color and must be flushed to a purge tower, a purge object, or the infill.
UltiMaker's data sheet lists PVA with a glass transition of 58.4°C, a melting temperature of 175.4°C, and a density of 1.23 g/cm3; PVA dissolves in plain water and is biodegradable.
Prusa recommends HIPS at a 225°C to 255°C nozzle and a 100°C to 110°C bed, the same range as ABS, and HIPS dissolves in limonene or acetone.
Bambu Lab's general support guide states PVA is not compatible as a support for PETG, and for the H2D warns against printing PVA and PETG at the same time from the left and right nozzles; Prusa recommends BVOH for PETG instead.
