 **Specifying which nozzle does what filament in your project is done under the "Slice Plate" Button. Custom Mode will let you manually assign each nozzle. Convenience mode will auto assign based on what you've already configured on the machine side (This requires loading your filament and synced it via the Sync Info button)

 *Please do not use TPU or other flexible filaments in the H2D at this time. A bypass process is required, and needs some implementation in our space to work well. Thank you for your patience

			=== H2D Specific Notes ===
			*Bambu Labs has a wiki specifically for diagnosing issues with the H2D - [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/h2d https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/h2d]. When errors pop up, they should give you a QR code that directs you to the link direct in the wiki.
			*The H2D is a dual nozzle system. It can be fed two filaments at once for multi color, or multi material projects. '''Please only use the H2D when necessary.'''
			*The build volume is weird. There are areas each nozzle cannot reach, and are indicated in Bambu Studio. The common space is 300320325, and the single nozzle space is 325320*325
