I'm Back with a new Smooth AMS. The Generation 2.

This guy is a new design of the same concept to solve several issues.

1. Smooth the jumping of the near-empty spool.
2. Reduce the AMS forces required to feed the filaments.
3. The PTFE tube acts like a fishing line to keep a smooth and even feeding.
4. Reduces the friction.
5. Prevent the filament from eating the AMS feeding funnel or anything.

What new then?

-NO ROOM IS TAKING FROM THE SPOOL.

-More compact but still as strung. (4.25g per unit and print 50% faster).

-It can be printed in PLA, but I strongly recommend using minimum ABS, PETg, or better.

-Yes, you can use any monster desiccant box.

But I highly recommend my Desiccant box. You don't need to remove the spool when refreshing it.

Additionally, I put a PTFE tube cutter guide. Most of the complaints are that the spool pulls back the PTFE because of an incorrect PTFE length. I hope that will solve that issue.

I did all the testing with standard PLA and silk PLA and have failures; please use ABS, ASA, PETg, or better. The ones I print for myself are all clear PETG, printed solid. At low light, they are outstanding. Even better than before.

On the PETg, I use "Adaptive layer height"(Adaptive 0.50, Smooth 5, Keep Minimum).

There are a few excellent YouTube videos for those who never use that function, and the BBL Wiki is fantastic. Here are the steps needed;

-Select one of the Smooth AMS,

-Select "Adaptive layer height" (near the middle) on the top menu.

-Select "Keep min".

-Put 0.50 in the [Adaptive] value box.

-Put 5 in the [Smooth] value box.

-Click once on [Adaptive] (a green to red bar will appear on the right side of the page).

-Click once on [Smooth].

-Click slice, and you did it.

Here is a screenshot of it before it gets sliced.

Also, In some pictures, there's the material flag. You can get it here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/113769#profileId-122328.

You should see what else I designed to remove a few other little quirks of the near-perfect Bambu Lab 3D Printers.

Enjoy less headache.
