#Rate My Setup
My setup: Enclosed A1 Mini with 80mm case fan and Inline fan ventilating outdoors (about 20ft of 3" pipe thru my walls). Half of the Vertically Oriented AMS Lite is connected to my 2 spool creality dryer. Added a 35mm mainboard fan with temp monitoring (80-100F while printing) Still running 01.04.00.00 (pre-calamity). ~500hours on this setup. Prints like a dream for many things except tall objects or engineering filament objects (still does them but mixed results), which I print with my Centauri Carbon.(Edited)

These things are literal game changers to run a filament dryer with AMS lite. A serious upgrade for the A1M. I used M6 Bowden connectors. In minutes I had my dryer setup routed (used to be external) and running. Works great with HT-PLA and orca slicer. Now I can print Nylon and HT-PLA with ease and the convenience of the AMS lite. Also, I can now do multi-material (support material) printing whereas it was impossible before while trying to dry filament at the same time.

Very nice system. I actually put blue painters tape on the inner walls (not shown here) to quiet down the poops rattling around in there. Could use any tape probably like duct, gorilla or painters. But makes a difference! Other than that it goes together easily

Printed with yellow and green, but still were a hit with the kids and at school :)

These are awesome! Unfortunately mine were destroyed in a watch face restoration project (w/ Superclear tabletop epoxy resin) - but they are quality measuring cups. Thank you!

I like these things, they work to clip to the ptfe tubes - but do slide around a bit. Could use a zip tie or something (and may do that) but for now they just follow the path of least resistance. Anyway, thank you, I can make this work!

I think the design is good on this one, I just can't really recommend it with PLA, I can't keep the ptfe tubes attached. Perhaps if they inlets were a little longer to engage more, or with glue, I didn't try that, but didn't want to start by gluing it on. Not using external spool anyway, but maybe in the future I'll need it, thanks!

Once I figured out to turn the small wing details away from the draft (at the back of the bed) so they didn't lift, this kit card printed perfectly. Nice one!

The bodies of these guys turned out great - no issues there - the helmets for whatever reason didn't turn out so well at first with my AMS lite - maybe the black to white color change settings I had. After running another calibration and dehydrating my filament they worked totally fine. So dry your filament before the helmets! I'll have to upload a photo when I can get it - my son loves it :D

This cable chain went together pretty well using Matte PLA. So far so good. Happy to have my power and AMS chain separated now. Note - the non-moving X axis side (with A1 logo) - the clip to hold that side of the chain down didn't fit, and snapped off - I'm guessing it's for the A1 and not the Mini. It's fine for the mini, the end of the chain is not going anywhere. On the extruder side I can't get the clip to stay clipped on the back. Perhaps a diff filament is in order there. Thank you!

Turned out great with the A1 mini, unfortunately, my kids dropped them 100 times and kept breaking the hands off, so he's disabled now. But still a very cute little dude.
