Description

An AMS 9 port hub to replace the stock 4 port.

I'm adding a second BMCU AMS and wanted a hub with the capacity for both AMS tubes, and an additional external roll, that looked close to OEM.

There are two versions:

The first accepts the PTFE tubes directly.
This second uses locking rings and collets (similar to stock). I used the 4 collets from the stock hub and printed the other five. Use PETG or better for the collets The locking rings are a mixture of the four from the stock hub and five individual rings from disassembled donor fittings.

Both versions require the use of the stock magnet and the locking collar. Magnet orientation is important! If you get a filament error when trying to print, the magnet is installed incorrectly. remove and flip the magnet lengthwise.

There is a matching hub brace that requires 2 – M3*10 course thread socket head screws to replace the two factory hub screws.

Hope you might also find it useful. If you do, please consider giving it a boost. It would be greatly appreciated!

I think this is a good model, although the tip of the hub is prone to breaking. The power cable was hanging down, so I tried to fix it to the brace. The screw position is slightly off, so I can't screw it in, but it seems to work fine as long as the cable is securely in place.

I removed it and reprinted it because it seemed like it would cause a jam

Out of all of the ports that I have downloaded, this is one of my favorites. I really wish I knew more about modifying stuff. I am learning. I would like to see more of a gap between the lid and body. I might try to drill the squares to tube size to allow more tube security to the hub. If you change these at any time, please let me know and I will print, try out, we'll as boost!

@Inkwell2077

what version firmware does bmcu work on?

The designer has replied

@jschemy

Hi, one unit will work on all versions. To connect two units you need to be on v01.07.

@Inkwell2077

Replying to @jschemy :

dang !!!

@user_495063764

1.05

@Ron_Weasley

I think this would work with the A1 mini, but I just want to check. Does anyone know if it does?

The designer has replied

@jschemy

I don't have a Mini to say for absolute certainty but they are the same tool heads - so there is no reason it shouldn't.

@3DCreationsofRI

A1and A1 mini are the exact same tool head, so yes, it will fit

@Ron_Weasley

Good to know.

@user_1443214198

can the A1 recognize two ams lite units?

The designer has replied

@jschemy

Hi, I don't believe two AMS Lites are supported. Only the AMS, AMS2, and BMCU units.

@user_3567738941

No. The A1 will only support 1 AMS lite. You can bypass using the AMS Lite and use multiple AMS units with the use of a hub. Up to four AMS units if I am correct.

@user_1443214198

cool thanks I'll look into that

@RAIMON

what is it for

Show original

@Cr_Sparkx

Probably for Dual-AMS and external spool systems.

@MattiaKenya

It works very well I'm not entirely clear about the magnet's behavior sometimes it works smoothly other times it gives me a filament loading error any info

@jschemy

Sorry, I don't know. Is it seated completely in the socket when you get the error?

@user_95670354

sorry but how do I block the PTFE tube
