I have recently built a new area for my office machines but had an issue that current mounting solutions couldn't really fix, I have limited space and could only just about fit two machines side by side but with very little room to fit the ams units, I wanted the ams units to fit fairly snug near the printer but also be as easy as possible to change out the filament, current solutions tend to be static either above or mounted on a wall which still proves to be a challenge to change the filament with ease.
So I created the AMS Lite Rail Desk Mount.
This rail system allows you to pull the ams lite out on a track to be able to swap filament rolls a lot easier and then tuck away again before printing.
Printing
All parts should be printed in petg, i printed with a .6mm nozzle for additional strength.
Installation
Do not mount upside down, please use my top mounted version of this model which provides additional parts to secure the mount in place, link.
AMS Holder will simply mount where the original holder was but before screwing onto the ams lite you can use the ams holder as a guide to screw the rails into a surface. (make sure to leave enough clearance between the wall and endstop for the filament rolls)
If you find the rails a bit to tight use a knife or deburring tool to take a bit of the plastic off, I also recommend using some candle wax(dry) to lubricate the rails up, this will reduce friction and create a nicer sliding motion.
Depending on where you mount this you may need to extend the ams lite connection cable, I haven't needed to do this but their is plenty of information on line if you wish to do this.
