P2S / P1S / X1C DUAL+ AMS 2 Pro side by side mount

P2S DUAL+ AMS 2 Pro Side by Side Mount V1.0

Here's a simple but effective model I've be working on since I have my P2S. 

Upcoming updates / improvements:

• AMS Power Cable Management
• Find a way to secure the unit in the back of the printer

BACK STORY

Since I got my first P2S with the AMS 2 pro, I wanted to be able to print with more then 4 colors for my projects. 

I got myself an extra AMS 2 Pro, thanks to Bambulab for the 100$CAD off during the black friday sales.

Then I searched for a rack or mount that would fit my needs and printed more the 3 models and they all had something I didn't need or involved a lot of moving parts.

So I got into my Fusion 360 and created my own.

THE MAIN IDEA

• Simple to print
• Low material uses
• Low print total print time 
• Easy to assemble
• Limited parts

THE DESIGN / PARTS NEEDED

• PLA & PETG works for this model
• Print time = Less then 11h
• Choose the option for your setup;
   
  • OPTION #1 - One P2S + 2 AMS
    • Plate #1 - REAR Brackets
    • Plate #2 - FRONT Brackets

    • Plate #3 - CENTER Brackets

       

  • OPTION #2  - Two P2S + 3 AMS (10cm spacing between printers)
    • Plate #1 - REAR Brackets
    • Plate #2 - FRONT Brackets

    • Plate #3 - CENTER Brackets (print two)

       

• 8 x Bolts needed to secure the parts to the AMS. I used BT3x12 SHCS (Self Tapping Screw) from bambu but shorter screw could also work.  (It can work without bolts but I DO NOT RECOMMAND) 

   

  
   

• OPTIONAL PARTS (If you want to join more then 2 AMS with multiple P2S side by side)

  • There's a different profile for it

     

    

     

    This part replaces the Center bracket on PLATE #1 and gives you 10cm spacing between two printers (space recomanded). You need to print this part TWICE and install them between each AMS.

     

    I will upload more spacing options soon to help other that would want a smaller spacing between printers.

HOW TO ASSEMBLE

• Remove everything inside your AMS .

   

  

   

• Lock both tabs on the AMS Lid.

• Flip both AMS face down on a flat surface.

   

  

   

• Place the CENTER BRACKET under both AMS (The part should slide easily without force)

• Use 4 screws to secure the bracket on both AMS together.  (BE CAREFULL NOT TO OVER TIGHT THE SCREWS, IT COULD DAMAGE THE AMS PLASTIC)

   

  

   

• Insert the REAR and FRONT brackets to each Corners  (don't forget the screws, I do not recommand using this model without them)

   

  

   

  

   

• I recommand to have someone help you for this step ; carefully Lift the unit and place it on top of you P2S. 

   

  

   

• There's a 1.25 mm clearance on each side between the bracket and the printer. I suggest using some foam to protect that printers side and prevent the unit from moving. I also tested the unit without foam and it works fine without damaging the printer's side panel. 

   

  

  
  I used some of the thin packaging foam from the P2S box.

NOW SIMPLY RECONNECT EVERYTHING AND ENJOY MULTICOLOR PRINTING WITH 8 COLOR POSSIBLE.
