About

These are enlarged PTFE load buttons for Python AMS. They're designed to both save the AMS funnels and improve ergonomics and they have an additional PTFE route for the external spool function of Python AMS so you can easily load the spool either through the AMS or outside it (for abrasive filaments for example).

This version is a lettered remix for those having multiple AMS units. 

The buttons available are: A1-A4, B1-B4, C1-C4, D1-D4.

It is not compatible with the stock AMS as they are too tall. For stock AMS or Hydra. / Hydra PRO use the Hydra AMS - PTFE Load Buttons that have a slimmer profile.

Print Settings

Print them in the direction I have set them with the button flat on the bed. Use a layer height of 0.20 mm or lower. Normally you don't have to use any supports but if you like you can use some tree supports for the little locking tab near the top.

You can paint the logo in the slicer if you like (Use the Paint Bucket Tool):

Installation

Press the bottom of the feeder and at the same time install the button. Once done, press down the PTFE tube a little to lock it in place, don't push it down too far though.
