Too Loose? Cardboard expands with humidity and contracts when dried. A cardboard spool that has absorbed too much moisture may cause the adapters to fit very tight. Placing the spool in a filament dryer, such as the SUNLU S2, for a bit should resolve this. Note, you should not dry the spool with the adapters attached as they can warp in the heat. Keep in mind that after a long drying session the adapters may fit too loose. This should resolve itself shortly as the cardboard reabsorbs some moisture from the air.</li><li>AMS Lid Doesn't Close? All of the spool adapters I make are less than the official AMS spool clearance limit of 202mm, as specified on the official AMS product page, and as tested within my own AMS. However, some people have stated their spools are rubbing against the lid with the adapters attached. It's hard to say what's causing this since I cannot reproduce the issue myself, however, I've created an <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/33133" rel="nofollow noopener">AMS Lid Riser</a> which allows you to keep your AMS lid closed while providing additional clearance for larger filament spools. It's a quick and easy print which you can find on <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/u/243407759" rel="nofollow noopener">my profile</a> or directly here: <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/33133" rel="nofollow noopener">https://makerworld.com/en/models/33133</a></li></ul>

This is a part of an series of Ams fixes that i have designed which can complement each other when used together. I do suggest you install all my fixes together for the 0ptimal effect to help your filament travel properly across the entire system which in turn can help improve, reduce or remove any potential Ams errors.&nbsp;I have grouped all fixes into their respective Collection for ease of searching what to install.&nbsp;V2 Collection are improvements done on the shortcoming of V1 Collection. Feel free to try V2 Collection and if it doesn't work properly then you can try the V1 Collection. You can easily find each of the Collection by clicking on the Collections tab on my profile.&nbsp;Unfortunately there isn't a single fix that can 100% work for everyone. What works for others, may not work for you but my fixes is definately a great place to start and have worked for majority of the users. My fixes are precisely measured then modelled. A Proper Fix would have the highest chance to reduce or solve the error.&nbsp;<figure class="image image_resized" style="width:81.05%;"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/393216/2024-01-09_cd9c426e40212.jpg"></figure><h2> </h2><h2> </h2><h2>If you are too bored to read the entire lengthy write up explaining the need for this fix, here is the TL:DR.</h2>&nbsp;What is this? Ams Filament Pull Back Fix V2 Upgraded is a total revamp design of the <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/47982#profileId-49834" rel="nofollow noopener">hugely successful previous model</a> for correcting the internal Ptfe tubes angle inside the Ams and maintain a straight Ptfe feeding into the Ams motor to reduce friction and pressure.&nbsp;&nbsp;Important Note: This new design is used to replace the older version. You can choose to use any of the version or try 1 then if it doesn't work very well then try the other one, but please DO NOT use both new and old model together. It will make things worse.&nbsp;&nbsp;Main difference with the previous model <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/47982#profileId-49834" rel="nofollow noopener">Ams Fix Failed To Pull Back Filament Error</a><ol><li>Completely New Design, even accurately designed to solve the problem compared to the original version.</li><li>Will NOT affect your warranty as its reversible.</li><li>Even well supported by the new screws design comparing to my previous fix or other similar clones trying to do a lookalike workalike.</li><li>Precise measurement for reduced friction of filament moving through</li><li>Helps reduce the internal Ptfe wear and tear</li><li>Fix is now much closer in distance to the root of the problem.</li><li>Ensuring nearly ZERO possibility or chances of the tube flexing near the entry point of the Ams internal filament hub causing that misalignment that might cause an error to pop up.</li><li>Angle of the entry for the Ptfe into the Ams internal Filament have been re-optimised once again..</li><li>ez to install, just unscrew the 2 screws at the Ams internal Filament Hub and put in the fix then put back the screws.</li><li>As the fix supporting the Ptfe is now right outside the entry of the <a target="_blank" href="https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/x1/maintenance/replace-filament-hub" rel="nofollow noopener">Ams internal filament hub</a>, possibility of failure to fix the problem because of bent or misshaped tube is now greatly reduced.</li><li>This fix have been tested for on 1 X1C, 1 P1P and 2 P1S for about 94800 retractions so far as of this listing.</li></ol>&nbsp;Please ignore the silver screw i used as seen in the install video, just use the same original 2 black screws from your internal Ams filament hub. In order to make and design and measure this fix, i rounded my own screw threads after assembling and disassembling 50 times for variations i tested against height, angle and thickness.&nbsp;Please follow the installation video closely to ensure you are installing it correctly. Failure to follow will affect how well the fix will work. Video at end of page.&nbsp;&nbsp;Who needs this fix? 1) Constantly having errors like Failed To Pull Out Filament and similar related2) The Ams motor sounds like struggling when move filament in and out of the Ams to the Extruder, like a lot of friction when moving.3) Ams cannot load or unloading properly. (Not including Spool being too light or a break of filament in the Ams)4) Having a constant struggle on any of your Ams slots, people complained about Slot 2 and 3 but this fix is designed to fix all of 4 slots for Failed To Retract / Pull Out Filament Error.&nbsp;&nbsp;Why choose this fix instead of other similarly designed fix?I do think that in theory, this new fix will work great and likely even superseding in performance when compared to my ver 1 design.&nbsp;This is ez to print but yet its measurement is very precise. I have spent over 60 hours to design and confirmed the proper angle to move the internal Ptfe to allow filament to pass through smoothly and then printed multiples models to ensure that my fix works by properly aligning the internal Ptfe tube to reduce and possibility even eliminating the dreadful Failed To Pull Out Filament Error or similar related problems.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>Preparation Video (Proper removal of support and ensure Ptfe tube fit)</h2><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/QZkzHy08jVI"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/QZkzHy08jVI" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure><figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/393216/2023-11-04_20b419972641e.jpg"></figure>&nbsp;<h2>Installation Video</h2><figure class="media"><div data-oembed-url="https://youtu.be/6rs1xp-rX5Q"><div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 100%; height: 0; padding-bottom: 56.2493%;"><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/6rs1xp-rX5Q" style="position: absolute; width: 100%; height: 100%; top: 0; left: 0;" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div></div></figure>(As the location of the fix is right at the entry point of the Filament internal hub do make sure you align then push in the Ptfe Tube tightly making sure that the Ptfe tube actually entered the internal filament hub.)&nbsp;Also take note to the arrows at the side, make sure the fix is NOT clipping or pressing on any of the Ams wiring when you are installing it. <figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/draft/393216/2023-11-05_c033df2f88abb.png"></figure>Pic from Bambu wiki.&nbsp;<h2>Important Notes:</h2>Please watch the video and description carefully. Its really important to make sure the fix installed correctly to let it work properly&nbsp;Note 1: The Ptfe Tube is supposed to be tight and snug for the support with precision. Plz make sure you installed it correctly as per the video instruction.&nbsp;Note 2: Please ensure you followed the preparation video closely before installing to ensure all supports are CLEANLY removed so the fix will work perfectly&nbsp;Note 3: You are required to properly assembled the Ams including the 2 screws that you unscrewed during the disassembly as this model require everything to be tight and snug for it to work properly.&nbsp;Note 4: When reassembling try to adjust the 2 very long wires connecting to the rear of the Ams Circuit board, don't let them press on any of the Ptfe tube. I don't think it matters but its a good practice.&nbsp;Note 5: Do NOT overtighten the screws please. As shown in the installation video, just tight then finger tight will work Don't jam it all the way down please. The screw is just to hold the fix in place.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<h2>What Mod / Fixes / Enhancement do i offer?</h2>Please don't download the wrong one.

Whatever cause the error today might not be the same area that cause the error again, same with person A and Person B setup, as the error itself is mainly due to tension with friction triggering the sensors in the machine.&nbsp;I would suggest you download and try and install all my fixes together for the proper effect as together they will ensure a smooth delivery of the filament with much lesser friction (read write ups) and hopefully that will help and reduce or resolve the error. If you use only one or 2 of the fixes the error could still happen as there are still other area might still be causing excessive friction.&nbsp;
