Description

AMS Micro is the revolution for those who want to change filament automatically and protect the spools at the same time. 

The whole system in a design of less than 10cm. (Please note that RFID functionality will be implemented soon with an additional module!)

1. Components

  • AMS Micro Plate (installable on both right and left side) 
    • Plate standard
    • Plate short printable on A1 Mini build plate
  • AMS Micro Cover
    • left mount
    • right mount
  • Reversed Numbers Cap you can find here

2. Filament suggestions

Although PETG can provide a more resistant structure, PLA has worked well in my experience.

3. Non-3D printed parts

  • Screwdriver
  • 3x M3x20 screws (wallmount fixation plate)
  • 2x BT2x5 B0017 screws (available from AMS Lite)
  • 4x screws (to lock  the cover)
  • 4x PTFE tubes (optional)

4. Assembly Guide

  • Step 1: Disassemble the main body of the AMS Lite. For instructions, see this BambuLab Wiki article.
  • Step 2: Place the AMS motherboard inside the plate and secure it with the 3 screws.
  • Step 3: Install the AMS Micro on the wall and secure it with the screws.
  • Step 4: Install the left/right power supply units, making sure to properly route the ribbon cables inside.
  • Step 5: Secure each power supply unit with the two screws provided.
  • Step 6: Secure the two ribbon cables to the board connectors.
  • Step 7: Close the snap-on cover.
  • Done! Enjoy your new setup!

5. If you are interested, why I made it

The original AMS Lite does not offer any protection for the filaments.
Too bulky if placed next to the printer. I don't even consider the Bambu Lab top mount, dangerous and full of unnecessary vibrations.
I don't like solutions with accessories fixed to the printer's structure, in the long run they create vibrations and the mechanics loosen.


I found very interesting solutions around but something truly miniaturized was missing that could be inserted directly into the printer's box, without being fixed to it.
