Description

Designed for 4mm tube connector with M6 thread.

Clip on to AMS lite feeder input

Allow full filament enclosure from dry box to extruder

Install

When installing, notice the feeder input has some gap on top or bottom

1 and 4 input has gap on bottom, 2 and 3 has gap on top

Slide the connector parallel from the gap on to feeder input

Remark:

I am using the 2mm inner, 4mm outer diameter transparent FEP tube

The tube has 2mm thick wall, it's a little hard to bend,

which put excessive force on the connector, sometime displacing the connector,

Will switch to 2.5 mm x 4mm tube later, just like the tube that comes with the printer

The AMS Lite modification is from this print

Works well in PETG with careful sliding. Very fragile in PLA.I adapted it for M10 threads from another project. Not sure if the license was intentional, but I'd love to publish my version if you allow it, @miccode

@sam_lzh

Could you share the M10 files for me to print? I need it urgently

@Haldwyn

can you share it? please , tyvm!

@fringilid

Replying to @Haldwyn :

I'm sorry both, but I can't share the adapted version with the license this model currently has. That's why I asked permission to @miccode , but I didn't get an answer yet.

Works well I used them in combination with several other mods to connect my new space pi X4 to my A1

thats awesome! do you have a link for the ptfe holder on your a1? do I Need the PC4-M6 for it?

@user_1237202371

Because of your picture I just now know the space pi x4 also has ptfe tubing on the back, hahaha thanks man I will do the same design now

Seems to hold up in pla, been using it for a week.

@Romain_Pvn

Hello, where can I find this STL project ?

@axdr

Mind me asking what's your process to switch filaments in the AMS? Do you disconnect the tube? Then what? What do you do with the extra filament from the AMS to the hot end? Cut it? Or do you open the box to reel the spool back?

The coupling hasn’t arrived in the mail yet. But, it slid/snapped on there nicely. Be sure to slide it on. If I used PETG it might be able to snap, but I used PLA.

@ulizjps

what's box you using? and the stl file for the red mark i made, thanks you for helping.

The designer has replied

@miccode

The box is bought as is, come with the bearing and rod, no 3d printed parts

@PrtyRckNL

Replying to @miccode :

Where did you bought the boxes with everything in it? do you have a link?

Super

@hidingbehind

The parts are not threaded are they?

Works for my use. Using it on my ams mini setup for my second a1. Used translucent petg and did a cross orientation when printing to maintain structural integrity.

Nice design but breaks too easily. May be a problem with PETG brand I use. Will give it another go later.

@user_2871872260

“Hey everyone! I have a Bambu Lab A1 set up inside a custom enclosure, connected to an AMS Lite for multi-filament printing. On top of the enclosure I also have an external dry box feeding filament directly into the AMS Lite through a PTFE tube. My question is: every time I need to load filament, I have to physically press the buttons on the AMS Lite to feed it in. Is there any printable STL — like a clip or latch — that keeps the button pressed permanently so the filament feeds through automatically without me having to press it manually every time?
