Description

AMS Micro is the revolution for those who want to change filament automatically and protect the spools at the same time.

The whole system in a design of less than 10cm. (Please note that RFID functionality will be implemented soon with an additional module!)

1. Components

AMS Micro Plate (installable on both right and left side)
- Plate standard
- Plate short printable on A1 Mini build plate
AMS Micro Cover
- left mount
- right mount
Reversed Numbers Cap you can find here

2. Filament suggestions

Although PETG can provide a more resistant structure, PLA has worked well in my experience.

3. Non-3D printed parts

Screwdriver
3x M3x20 screws (wallmount fixation plate)
2x BT2x5 B0017 screws (available from AMS Lite)
4x screws (to lock the cover)
4x PTFE tubes (optional)

4. Assembly Guide

Step 1: Disassemble the main body of the AMS Lite. For instructions, see this BambuLab Wiki article.
Step 2: Place the AMS motherboard inside the plate and secure it with the 3 screws.
Step 3: Install the AMS Micro on the wall and secure it with the screws.
Step 4: Install the left/right power supply units, making sure to properly route the ribbon cables inside.
Step 5: Secure each power supply unit with the two screws provided.
Step 6: Secure the two ribbon cables to the board connectors.
Step 7: Close the snap-on cover.
Done! Enjoy your new setup!

5. If you are interested, why I made it

The original AMS Lite does not offer any protection for the filaments.
Too bulky if placed next to the printer. I don't even consider the Bambu Lab top mount, dangerous and full of unnecessary vibrations.
I don't like solutions with accessories fixed to the printer's structure, in the long run they create vibrations and the mechanics loosen.

I found very interesting solutions around but something truly miniaturized was missing that could be inserted directly into the printer's box, without being fixed to it.

I hope you enjoyed the project, if so leave me a BOOOST!!!

Great design. I like it because compared to others, it takes a lot less space. For those asking the purpose, the AMS Lite doesn't account for himidity. If you keep your fillament in the original system, they are expose to humidity and certain materials like PETG are pretty Hygroscopic. Maybe not everyone lives in humid climates, but those of us who do and have A1s or A1s mini with an AMS look for solutions . To help OP, I uploaded pics to exemplify where the filament goes. There is the Ikea box and the sunlu one. Note: The pictures are not mine, they are just as an example, all credit to the owner.

@Maso81

Is this the Sunlu S4?

Replying to @emics :

you made an amazing model! it was tricky to put in the tiny screws with my huge hands but I made it. I was just scared that I would damage something.

@emics

very good job 👍🏻

@emics

yes the design is still in progress. I want to add an Ethernet port and you can connect standard Ethernet cable. to the other end another port and the 4 rfid antennas.

A superbly conceived model. The inclusion of two lids allows for various mounting options while still maintaining readability of the text. Exceptional forethought. Truly excellent. The design is also very beautiful. This is precisely the kind of model I was looking for, as I also want to print from boxes and didn't want to print another cracked housing that needs to be attached to the original AMS. I'll assemble it right away :-)

I am proud to know that my project is so appreciated. Thanks to all of you for the kind words you write to me.

@Varcanum

This cabinet is awesome did you build it?

@filthesage

How does it unload the filament? Are motors not needed?

The designer has replied

@emics

The spool holders lack motors; they only have a spring to retrieve some filament. The motors are in the two blocks connected to the electronic board, those numbered 1 to 4
