v2.0.1: Enhanced Airflow and Clearance Improvements

Version 2.0.1 builds on the groundbreaking direct integration design of v2.0.0 with several airflow and usability enhancements to further optimize performance and efficiency.

What’s New in Version 2.0.1:

• Increased Clearance: More space has been added between the wedges’ intake and the AMS lid to ensure smoother installation and better compatibility with the AMS system.
• Rounded Corners for Improved Circulation: The sharp 90-degree corners at the front and sides of the wedges have been replaced with a 25mm radius curve, allowing air to flow more freely around the enclosure.
• Redesigned Inner Vents: New fin-shaped openings have been added to the inner vents to redirect airflow downwards and toward the middle of the AMS, ensuring even air distribution across all filaments.

With these refinements, v2.0.1 delivers a more efficient drying experience, improved airflow management, and enhanced usability — all while maintaining the simplicity and compact design of the previous version.

Upgrade to the best version yet for optimal filament care!

AMS Drying Chock Remix v2.0.0 – Optimized Design for Direct PolyDryer Integration

Introducing version 2.0.0 of the AMS Drying Chock Remix, now featuring a complete redesign of the left and right wedges to directly support the PolyDryer — no ducts needed! This streamlined upgrade maximizes airflow efficiency and minimizes energy loss, as the dryer now sits directly on the wedges, delivering heated air seamlessly into your AMS enclosure.

After 8 hours of continuous running, the temperature at the AMS's rooftop reaches 126.6 °F  (52.6 °C), and the humidity level is stable at 10%.
 

What’s New in Version 2.0.0:

• Direct Dryer Integration: The redesigned wedges are custom-fit to accommodate the entire width of the Polymaker Filament Dryer. This eliminates the need for long ducts, preventing airflow and temperature dispersion.
• Maximized Airflow & Efficiency: With no ducts, airflow is direct and uninterrupted, significantly improving the drying performance and ensuring your filament stays in optimal condition.
• Simplified Setup: The updated design reduces the number of parts to print from four to just two, saving you time and filament. Assembly is faster and easier, getting you back to printing sooner.

Version 2.0.0 of the AMS Drying Chock Remix is the ultimate upgrade for those looking to enhance their filament drying setup with increased efficiency, a cleaner design, and fewer printed parts. Experience the difference in your 3D printing workflow today!

v1.0.2: New 90-Degree Elbow and 75mm Duct Options

This second update introduces a range of new ducting options and adapters, allowing for even more customized configurations for your AMS Drying Chock system.
 

What’s New in version 1.0.2:

• New 60mm Duct Intake with 90-Degree Elbow: A new 60mm duct intake has been designed with a 90-degree elbow, allowing you to route the ducts neatly toward the back of the AMS system. This helps to tuck the ducts away along the AMS sides, making your setup cleaner and more organized.
• New 75mm Duct Support: This update also introduces support for larger 75mm ducts with the following new components:
  • 60mm to 75mm Adapter: Easily transition from a 60mm to a 75mm duct adapter.
  • 75mm Duct Intake/Outtake: Directly connect a 75mm duct for increased airflow capacity.
  • 75mm Duct Intake with 90-Degree Elbow: This variant includes a 90-degree elbow for clean, space-efficient duct routing.
  • 75mm Polymaker Dryer Splitter: An adapter designed to connect two Polymaker Dryers to a 75mm duct in parallel for higher airflow efficiency.
  • 75mm Polymaker Dryer Adapter: A redesigned adapter tailored for the Polymaker Dryer’s intake to fit the larger 75mm duct, ensuring optimal airflow and a secure fit.

Why This Update Matters:

• Tidy Cable Management: The addition of the 90-degree elbow for both the 60mm and 75mm ducts helps streamline your setup by allowing the ducts to be routed toward the back and along the sides of the AMS, giving a much cleaner appearance.
• Enhanced Airflow with 75mm Ducting: The introduction of 75mm duct options provides greater flexibility and improved airflow management, especially for setups involving multiple dryers or larger drying requirements.
• Modular and Scalable: The new adapters and splitters allow you to build a system that can scale with your needs, whether you’re using one or two Polymaker Dryers or transitioning to larger ducts.

Additional Parts in Version 1.0.2:

• 1 x 60mm Duct Intake with 90-Degree Elbow
