Description

If you have more than one AMS, you will need an AMS hub. The problem I had, was the AMS hub was sold out; it was also $50!

 

As it turns out, the AMS hub is really nothing more than a big-bro version of the AMS buffer, with a 4-in-1 splitter built in. You don't need to get it, as you can actually print your own splitter, and attach your own PC4-M10 heads. But why do that, when you can simply adapt the $6 AMS hub LITE! So that's what I did.

 

This model uses the $6 AMS hub LITE, and a PTFE tube coupler.

This is completely non-destructive, as it does not require you to cut or sand the hub.

 

You do not need to buy the PTFE tube coupler, as one comes with each AMS. Just depress the black end of the PTFE tube coupler and slide it into the model and the AMS hub LITE. The model will keep the black end depressed, which is essential to stop the PTFE teeth from interfering with filament input. Use either 18mm or 20mm M3 bolts to attach the hub to the back of your printer. Your PTFE tube into the buffer should be 58mm in length.

 

You can find other models I have released for the X1C/AMS here:

If you appreciate my models, please consider buying me a coffee!

Looks like you are having adhesion problem with your printer.

Replying to @ultrajaxel :
I tried 2 times already, with the same results. It's not an adhesion issue, as I printed other items before and after that without a problem. I believe the problem is with speeds. I changed the speed of the profile and add a brim. Perfect results...

Fitment is good, nice and snug, screw holes line up. I just have reliability problems. filament getting hung up between hub and coupler. then I'll wiggle the ptfe on either side and it goes through. took more than 10 min from starting to get printer to read filament, after trying a quick 2 color print I quickly gave up and cancelled it because I was having to wiggle it around each filament change. I do have another ams hub I'll try and update rating

You put the coupler in backwards. The instructions clearly say to put the BLACK end in, not the BLUE.

You also put the hub in upside down.

Does the trick. I don't need the cable channel cause AMS1 is on top.

I have to wait until I have the clutch, but I have one that is in use, prints well and fits. Thanks for that.

Tight fit, but it does work. Can’t put a screw in the right hole though as the hole on the printer isn’t threaded.

Works perfectly as an AMS splitter for a fraction of the cost of the AMS Hub, great print
