Introducing the AMS reusable spool container. A systematic component used in conjunction with the AMS Reuseable Honeycomb Spool (REV B) . The container inserts into the spool before assembling. The end caps can be removed or installed. Depending on the application, desiccant or weights can be added to your spool. Some great ideas for desiccant weights is lead or steel shot (BB's), batteries or whatever else is at hand. The setup inculdes installation tools to install the caps. Caps can be installed when the unit is out of the spool or mounted.

Some recommendations:

The AMS reusable spool container contains tight tolerances and threads. I highly recommend adding chamfers at the start of all threads with a file after your print completes. Failure to provide this relief can make the threads inoperable or damage the threads resulting in reprints. This container will fit tightly into my AMS spools. If you have any difficulty installing, please leave me a comment or email me (kevin@thegunpsy.com).

To install:

1. Start with a disassembled spool and insert the keyed end of the container into the side B spool, (taller one). Ensure that the slots line up, there are two different size slots, and it will only go in one way. Push down until it bottoms out.
   

2. Insert your filament and then side A of the other spool. The logo plate (Top of spool, will say X1C, P1 or blank depending on version) should be oriented to the left of the logo plate on side b approx. 45 deg. Once seated flush turn side A clockwise 45 deg.

3. The container is now installed into the spool. If you have not done so, add an end cap and tighten with the proper cap tool, charge the container with material of choice, then cap off the opposing end. You are now ready to print.
