AMS REPLICA FOR BMCU

AMS LITE REPLICA FOR BMCU

After extensive design and testing, the  AMS Lite replica for bmcu  is finally here!

UPDATE!!

I FINALLY UPLOADED THE PRINTABLE MODEL WITH BAMBULAB A1 MINI WITH THE DEDICATED PRINTING PROFILE, MAKE SURE TO SELECT THE CORRECT PROFILE FOR YOUR PRINTER DURING THE DOWNLOAD

Features:
-Compact spool holder for bmcu 370x
-Only few parts needed for assembly
-Compatible with original ams spool rotary

I found on makerworld a project for a spool holder compatible with the original ams that was right for me, you have to print a pair of green spool holders, and a pair of orange spool holders, below I leave the link to the reference model:
