“Feeder Saver” - The AMS is an engineering marvel. However, the infamous feeder “button”, AKA Feed Funnel, has caused much concern when it comes to longevity. Simply put, it will wear on the edges of the feeder filament entry forcing a potentioally expensive replacement of the AMS First Stage Feeder. My AMS “Feeder Saver” will not only protect you from this potentially expensive reality, it will also properly align the filament to reduce the likelihood of feed and pullback errors. All this for about a dollar in filament for a set of four!&nbsp;NOTE:<ol><li>Desiccant Box Version: If you have desiccant boxes, I recommend the print profiles with the following in the title “NO Sides - Desiccant Box Compatible”</li><li>Hydra Mod Version: If you are using the Hydra Mod for your AMS, please use the Hydra Mod Print Profile</li></ol>&nbsp;Features and Benefits<ul><li>Protects the feeder “button” from premature wear and replacement</li><li>Snaps on securely using a wrap-around design - Will NOT come off during a print like some other feeder solutions</li><li>Precision alignment of the filament from spool to feeder reduces friction and helps prevent the likelihood of feed and pullback errors</li><li>Uses inexpensive PTFE used for protecting the “button” and the “Feeder Saver”</li><li>Tested with full-size 1kg spools and 1/4kg spools full and near finished</li><li>Simple install - SEE INSTALL VIDEO BELOW - no need to remove the AMS First Stage Feeder to install or remove</li><li>Satisfying “snap-on” sound when installing giving you confidence it will not come off during a print</li></ul>See Installation Instructions and Printing Notes Below&nbsp;Comments From Users“I tried many of these designs and discarded them all, this is the best I have come across and printed 16 of them for all 4 of my AMS's.
