[V2] AM4xS - AMS SLIDING Stacking System

2026-04-17:

• Redesigned the ring handles. This will shift the handles slightly to the outer edges, leaving more room to lift some AMS1 models. People were reporting that their AMS1 hoods were hitting the brace covers.
• Slight change to the AMS1 braces. There is a newer model of the AMS1 that has even thinner walls, requiring an update to fit.

2025-06-30:

• Redesigned the AMS1 braces. The AMS1 is actually 4mm thinner than the AMS2. Because of this, you couldn't commingle a stack of AMS2s with AMS1s; it had to be one or the other. Now you can! You'll also be able to build the stack with the upcoming AMS-HT tray I will be releasing soon. I don't actually have any AMS1s to test with anymore; so please tell me if things aren't fitting properly.

• Redesigned the handle rings with a vertical design instead of the old horizontal design.
  In the old version, if you wanted to “fully” open a lower AMS lid, you had to use 16" slides. If you used 14" slides, you had to hold the lid up manually. This new version clears up 35mm of extra space, so that even if you use 14" slides, a lower AMS lid will stay up automatically. This change was requested by multiple people. I understand the new handles aren't as pretty, but they are more functional.
• Shifted the teeth up on covers by 1mm to align the covers better.

• Added separate profile that is printable on the X1C.

As many of you know, I published an AMS Stacking System previously for the X1C. That stacking system still works perfectly fine; it even works with the new AMS2-pros. But it had some limitations that I wanted to work on. So I've designed this new system, which uses drawer slides, and takes advantage of the large print bed on the H2D. You can now also print this kit on the X1C; however the pieces are split and must be attached together using the new snap-in bowtie connection system.

Like the old version, you can stack as many AMS/AMS2 units as you want on top of each other. However, thanks to the use of drawer slides, you can do it in a much smaller space. I personally use 14" Hickory Hardware Drawer Slides that I purchased from Home Depot. But I have arranged the risers in such a way that you can use other brands as well. You can even use 16" drawer slides if you wish, but I would not recommend going any longer than that, as it will shift the center of gravity too much when pulling out drawers.

This new system is designed around 80mm blocks. With each AMS requiring an 80mm slide bracket; each additional AMS you want to place on the stack will require another 80mm slide bracket, plus a 160mm “double” riser. It is much easier to put together than the old version, and more durable. Keep in mind however about weight shifting while pulling out drawers; if you wish, you can consider securing the stack to your surface, such as zip-tying it to your table.

Because of how modular this system is; I have separated the print profiles into multiple different models. It would simply be impossible to include all the various different options in a single print profile as there would be too many plates. The plates included with this base model are the bare minimum required to build your stack. A list of optional models will be at the end of this description.

This base model includes the following plates:

• Plate 1: Riser Slides
  • These are the brackets where your drawer slides are screwed into.
  • H2D: Print this plate ONCE, for each AMS in your stack.
  • X1C: Print this plate TWICE, for each AMS in your stack.
• Plate 2: Riser (Double)
  • This is the riser that raises the height of your stack to allow another AMS.
  • Print this place TWICE, for each ADDITIONAL AMS in your stack.
  • The X1C profile is split into two plates.
• Plate 3: Braces (AMS2)
  • These braces will hold the AMS2 on your stack. They will NOT hold an AMS1.
• Plate 4: Braces (AMS1)
  • These braces will hold the AMS1 on your stack; it may also work with the AMS2 but YMMV.
• Plate 5: Connectors (1x1)
• Plate 6: Connectors (1x2)
• Plate 7: Connectors (1x3)
• Plate 8: Connectors (1x4)
  • These are the covers of various sizes for you to use, depending on the size of your stack.
  • If you are stacking two AMS units, I recommend printing the 1x4 plate.
  • For more than 2, I recommend TWO 1x2 plates, and a 1x3 for each additional AMS unit.

Optional Models:

• AMS HT Tray
• Counterweight
• EIBOS Tetras Riser
• Extension Kit
• Feet & Heads
• Honeycomb Risers
• Horizontal Covers
• Plate Holder Racks (small)
• Plate Holder Racks (large)
• Stationary Adapters
