    The person that normally 3d prints for me suggested a H2S with AMS. He has a bunch of different printers. He said I shouldn’t get the duel nozzle one because if there is a problem with the second nozzle, it can be a little tricky to fix. So I am leaning towards that one. He is also the one that is going to create the files for me and send them to me to print. I am basically buying a printer to cut down on him printing and shipping me stuff. Shipping is starting to get expensive…
    I am also a little worried about these rumors with slicer software possibly being locked down.

    H series printers have larger build plates. H2S has the largest plate and a single nozzle for printing one color at a time. If you want to print something that is multicolor the printer will unload and load colors as necessary from the AMS 2 pro to the H2S nozzle. This produces more waste of filament because the printer has to purge out the previous color every time it changes. It also extends print time significantly. H2D and H2C are multi color printers but have slightly smaller build plates to accommodate the extra hardware. I have a X2D and will be buying a H series printer soon for the extra build volume.

      @Commander I am loving the X2D. If you are printing boxes with text on them or really anything with text, it's a game changer. The second nozzle requires more cleaning, I have found it similar to the A1 mini I have. Also, if you are printing in two colors a filament change is not required by the AMS and if you have layers it takes forever and wastes a ton of filament. This is where the X2D shines IMO

        @Snake-Pepskin Are you using the apache 1800 for short tem fridge storage or long terms freezer storage? Im planing a long term but can't decide between hydrapeak or apache.

        @brianluna I haven't decided yet, but i would work either way. The hydrapeak being metal has some advantages, but the shape and size are cumbersome. After watching videos of testing lab principals, I’m likely changing my strategy.

        Peter from Janoshik, and the guy from TrustPointe both concurred that lyophilized peps will last years in a cool dark place, and decades in the freezer. My long term plans is vacuum seal and freeze, my short term(few years) in the 1800 in a cool closet.

            @hunt_ak that is awesome!! This whole 3d thing has me thinking completely different.

              @Ctrain24

              Wjen looking at the plate size it seems the H2S and H2D ave very close..
              I would live the H2D, only worried about me not being able to do the maintenance or whatever is necessary for the second nozzle. I am kind of a Techno peasant.. I was find with Roland printers/plotters and lathes and flow benches. Work on my own cars, build nation level motorcross bikes, etc… but I tried to design in that 3d printer software and was lost. I have no idea how any if it works.
              So I guess I am down to the H2S and H2D. If the second nozzle gets messed up, will the H2D still print in single color or does it bench the whole printer?

                You will be able to continue printing with the single nozzle. Each nozzle has it's own extruder feeding your filament into the nozzle. Maintenance is actually quite easy on these machines and replacement parts are cheap on Bambu's website. Lots of tutorials on YouTube both from Bambu and regular people. Learning how to design your own stuff is pretty challenging. I'm a beginner myself when it comes to that. Tinkercad is a good free website to use for learning how to design with basic shapes. This is a good video and youtuber to get started with making your own stuff

                    Do you pay the monthly subscription or use the free version? If free, how limited is it?

                      @Ctrain24 I think I got 30 days free, then just paid for the year. I am designing like a madman. I have it down now and can design stuff pretty quickly. Every time I look in a closet or open a drawer, I find a reason to design stuff. I was at the beach and said I needed some drink holders for these chairs. Bam did it that night.
