I have tried various splitter designs and none worked as reliably as I would have liked. This design utilizes the A1 AMS Lite Filament Hub ($6) sold on Bambu store as the splitter for AMS and external spool. As such, you end up with 4 usable inputs.&nbsp;The model is the splitter holder. It can be attached to the printer body using M3x6mm or M3x8mm screw. The A1 filament hub should sit snugly in the holder but with some play. The single tube side of the hub plugs into the PTFE connector as if it is a PTFE tube, it is a little tight so push it in as far as you can. &nbsp;In my testing, this has performed flawlessly. It would not be surprising as this design uses the OEM part that's designed specifically for the same purpose of multiplexing multiple filament input into one.&nbsp;Update: <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/models/35839#profileId-48557" rel="nofollow noopener">New angled holder</a> added based on feedback from <a target="_blank" href="https://makerworld.com/en/u/2841498950" rel="nofollow noopener">@BenjDavison90</a>.

<h2>Meet The Shifty!</h2>&nbsp;The Shifty allows you to quickly and easily center your build plate on Bambu Lab 3D Printers (X1C/P1S/P1P Style).&nbsp;This is the first and original Build Plate Guide ever to be shared on MakerWorld.&nbsp;As a brand new product, I&#39;ve meticulously designed the Shifty to make your life easier, every time you insert your build plate.&nbsp;<h3>How it works:</h3>&nbsp;The Shifty build plate guide increases the contact area of the built-in plate guides. This means you have more room for error when sliding your plate into place.&nbsp;It also eliminates cases where the plate skips over the existing guides, or lands on top of them uncentered and un-level which can cause failed prints.&nbsp;The increased guide height also allows you to slide the plate in at a greater angle, which is more comfortable and minimizes instances when the plate clamps down before it&#39;s properly positioned.&nbsp;<h3>How to use:</h3>&nbsp;Slide your plate in like normal, but aim the back left corner of your plate towards the Shifty. Once you make contact it will take over and shift your plate perfectly into place.&nbsp;The Shifty is low profile and clips to the back left corner of your bed, out of the way from activity.&nbsp;<h3>Installation:</h3>&nbsp;Step 1 - Connect The Front:&nbsp;Insert the front tab into the notch located at the front of the built-in guides.&nbsp;Step 2 - First Click:&nbsp;Wrap it around towards the back and press so it “clicks” into place. (see video below).&nbsp;Step 3 - Second Click ←- Double Check This One:&nbsp;After you hear the first click as shown in the video, you may have to press down on rear hook (right side of back edge) to seat it properly into place. This is the second click. I recommend pressing down in the back even if you think you have it in place just to make sure.&nbsp;When properly installed, the Shifty will be very snug, perfectly level, and without distortion.&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://makerworld.bblmw.com/makerworld/model/DSM00000000083480/design/2023-12-04_8cba772444acc.gif"></figure>&nbsp;&nbsp;If you have any questions, feel free to direct message me.&nbsp;&nbsp;<h3>Tips and Notes:</h3><ul><li>The Shifty is designed to look cool and print beautifully. The supports are custom tailored and break away easily in one piece with a simple twist for most materials. For some materials, you can simply twist counterclockwise while it&#39;s still on the plate and it will cleanly break away.</li><li>To replace or remove, access it from the bottom side of the bed and press backwards on the back edge until it unclips.</li><li>When properly installed, the Shifty will be very snug and perfectly level. If it isn’t, study it&#39;s shape and check the back edge, you may need to push it down on the back edge so it snaps into place.</li><li>If you print a lot of high-temp materials, consider making a Shifty in PETG, ASA or ABS. These profiles are tested and also available.</li><li>At this time I&#39;m releasing the left side only. I have a right side model completed, but am not releasing it for now since the left-only approach works well and keeps the Shifty away from the back right purge strip activity. Feel free to mirror a right side in Bambu Studio for your own use, but please don&#39;t upload profiles with the right side mirrored at this time.</li></ul>
