Description

Enhance your BAMBULAB AMS Lite setup with our custom modification parts designed for simplicity and versatility. This mod allows you to extract the feeder and base from the AMS Lite and compactly mount them on a wall or the A1 top frame, optimizing your workspace and improving accessibility.

See the official wiki on how to disassemble AMS Lite

Disassembly should be done at your own risk.

Key Features:

Simplified Design: Streamline your 3D printing setup by focusing on essential components, making the process more straightforward and efficient.
Versatile Mounting Options: The mod parts facilitate easy mounting of the extracted feeder and base on either a wall or the A1 top frame, saving valuable desk space and enhancing workflow.
Compact Form Factor: Designed to be compact, these parts help you make the most of limited space while maintaining functionality.

AMS Mount R_insert.stl and Case Upper_insert.stl are models for using insert nuts. When using a normal M3 nut, use AMS Mount R.stl and Case Upper.stl.
Use M2.5 insert nuts to secure the mainboard to Case Upper_insert.stl.

2024/6/13 update
The hole diameters in the following 3 files were too small for M3 nuts, so I modified them:
AMS Mount L.stl
AMS Mount R.stl
AMS Mount R_insert.stl

Thank you for the initial sample. It's a nice enclosure. It looks like you have the PTFE tube wrapped around once and connected to the printer, but how smooth is the filament feed?

Looks awesome! Just to understand..Maybe someone can help me. How much more difficult would it be to build such a setup, as @flynn here for example without the ams lite. I am tight on a budget and as I would be taking it apart, not using the rfid etc. i was contemplating it. I could run 4 Ptfe's from 4 dryer boxes right? And then just have to manually change the filament in the toolhead? Ofc that's not real color printing but my prints are all one color. THe Ams would be only for convienience.

I wasn't quite sure if your question was about modifying the AMS Lite for use or using it entirely without the AMS Lite. The A1 filament buffer can connect up to 4 filaments, so I think it is possible to manually switch them even without the AMS.

hi there , it would be very simple and just like you said , just unload the filament and pull back a few cm’s then load the new filament

Replying to @flynn :

Thanks @Penguin_holic & @flynn. So even when buying without the ams, the a1 would come with that 4 Lines Buffer thing, that @Penguin_holic took a screenshot of? So then I can manually change them. So the AMS Lite would only have the benefit of the automatic change right? So that I can select the 4 rolls from the slicer. Thanks for the help. And the picture of your setup Penguin. Looks dope!

Thank you, great model. What do you use for holding the spools ? I wonder if the spring for filament retraction in the rotary spool holder like in the link bellow is really necessary to keep the spool untangled when filament are automatically changed. I would prefer the spools resting like is the X1 and P1S AMS or in a dry box. https://makerworld.com/en/models/91814#profileId-98219

Thank you so much for your kind words! I'm thrilled that you liked the model. Regarding your question, I use the SUNLU S4 in combination with my setup, and I let the excess filament hang loose, so I haven't had any issues with tangling. I've also added some photos for you to check out.

Replying to @Penguin_holic :

I like the wall fixation so you can pick the feeder up, nice touch ! When the feeder change filaments during a multi color print, it retracts only 1 or two inches so I guess it's not enough filament released to possibly provoke a tangled filament later when it is reloaded again, right ? Ok, I see what you mean on one of your photos, the excess filament hang loose between the feeder and the ptfe tube entrance of the sunlu s4, not loose around the roll inside the sunlu. Perfecto !
