Description

A smooth 4-in-1 PTFE adapter for using an AMS, rear spool holder and a dual spool drybox or secondary spool holder together on a Bambu. Updated design with PTFE tubes slid inside the adapter as far as possible to minimize filament contact with the printed part. Tapered outlet to toolhead PTFE to eliminate filament snagging on the edge of the PTFE. This is an updated design of my previous version.

This part can also be used to replace the $50 AMS hub (that's currently out of stock) if using more than one AMS, see feedback from my previous version of this adapter:

Mine is printed in ASA but other materials should be fine as well. Prints beautifully in 1hr 45min (with my ASA profile, tuned for high quality instead of speed) and only takes around 15g of filament. The part has no crazy overhangs or bridges so any standard profile for PLA etc. should work fine.

Hex shaped magnet pockets for easy installation, small notches also included to help removing the magnets if needed :)

No supports required!

---

BOM:

-printed part

-5pcs 6x3mm magnets

-5pcs PC4-M10 pneumatic fittings (like these, for example)

Assembly:

-check with a piece of filament that the bottom hole of the “Y” (the one pointing towards the toolhead) is not too tight, deburr with a 2mm drill bit if needed

-insert magnets

-make sure a 4mm bowden tube fits all the way into the four branches of the Y along with the shallow pocket on top connection, test this before threading on the pneumatic fittings

-thread the pneumatic fittings on (if using PLA don't use excessive force, they don't need to be super tight)

-insert adapter on PTFE tube coming from the printhead, make sure it's seated all the way

-insert other PTFE tubes, make sure they are inserted all the way

-enjoy!

Printed in Inland Black PLA+ Came out looking great, magnets and connectors fit well and snug. So far no snagging. There is a new sound to get used to when the filament loads (I'm sure it's the brief moment between PTFE tube connections), but no AMS errors.

@jusutus

That's a great looking print! I know the sound you are talking about, it's most likely the end of filament touching the printed part briefly before entering the next PTFE tube. I haven't had a single AMS issue yet either with three different versions of my splitters *knocks on wood* 😅

@ronx162

The print seems perfect, but the sound is making me nervous. Just started my 2nd print since putting this splitter in place, and the crackling sound makes me die a little inside. If anyone has figured out how to minimize this troubling sound, please let us know! Very cool model, though! *edited to say that my 3rd print was a multicolor print and the 3rd color got stuck in the splitter and errored out. Tried boring it out a little but there's still some resistance that could cause issues. I'm wondering if a longer, more gradual bend in the design would help.

perfetto per risparmiare i 50€ dell’hub BL quando si hanno più di 1 AMS. super consigliato!!

Printed perfectly and works as intended, P1S .4, Bambu PLA Matte Black.. My magnets from Ali are kinda so-so and the PTFE tubes from Ali are kinda stiff. Pro tip: Buy the 4 meter PTFE from the Bambu store, since it's almost as cheap as from Ali. The PC4 M10 valves are good. Thanks for the model!

Printed out very nice in PLA using your settings. I do also have the AMS hub. The hub is installed on my X1C and I’m going to install this on my P1S. I’ll update my rating when I get around to using it.
