Description

With this you can save some money by building your own ams lite system! (granted a little bit sketchy) You need 2 feeder units, ams lite mainboard, ams lite power cable, some tubes and a skadis style peg board I guess. Putting it together is straight forward other than the spool rollers which I took and adapted for this model. full credit to:rogerquin

here is his assembly guide for them just use the printed screw in pegs you printed instead of the a1 part.

Cannot confirm the fully loaded weight of like 5kg will stay on your wall but my 3d printed pegboard has held for the meantime. there are some quirks when assembling it but i believe in you.👍there are spots for 3x5 magnets in the main body and the flat cover piece. just glue them in the main body and when your printing the cover pause the print at the layer before it puts the the cover on the two holes and put the magnets in. also double check the poles of the magnets and make sure they attract. I will maybe perhaps be adding support for rfid by diy-ing it and soldering some copper wire to the mainboard ill update this model if i figure it out. If you want to poke around in the f3d file be my guest but fair warning it is a bit of a mess in there. happy printing have a good day ask questions if you need.

Loving this model! Especially for the fact that you used the parts in another configuration. At the moment the complete system is cheaper than the parts, but you can still disassemble the AMS lite to build this one. I am already thinking of a design for on top of the A1 where the spools are next to each other (Like in the P1 AMS). Oh and be careful about those rollers from roger quin, the license prohibits remixing and sharing sadly.

Thanks for the support, I actually found the parts a bit cheaper on some kinda sketchy websites but they work so far. And your right I probably should have checked that copyright stuff but I'm gonna just keep everything the same for now till i have to change it or something.

I actually cant find the website again all i remember that it was from Australia and like on clearance. So its probably not cost effective if you don't get lucky with a good deal.

hi! Super curious because I consider making an ams ultra lite with only 2 filaments, both in their own filament dryer. Do you think it would work with only the main board and one feeder unit? (with the second feeder wire disconnected)

I really want an AMS lite and want to make this but I do have one question: How do you connect the feeding unit to the motherboard? Does the cable to connect them together come with the feeding unit or does it have to be purchased separately?

Yeah you purchase a left and right feeder modules and a mainboard and they all plug into each other with the cable attached to the feeders

What's the point though... AMS Lite Mainboard $49.99, Left feeder $69.99, Right feeder $69.99, AMS Lite cable $7.99... so, we're already up to $197.96 plus shipping... might as well just buy a new AMS Lite at that point.

he said up there that he bought off a cheaper website so it was a lot more cost effective

is there soldering involved or is it all plug n play

the only soldering I did was to extend the power cable that goes from the printer to the ams. but that can be done without soldering.
