Game Changer For Multi Color 3d Printing (AMS)

[@ModBotArmy]

Whoops was brought to my attention my calculations at 6:10 is off. 7 and a half hours seemed right due to how long the retract and purge takes (so it may not be far off) but in the slicer that is the starting time that the printer runs its base calibrations. Which is 7 and a half minutes. (Thank you for the correction)

[@mstreurman]

You not only forgot to paint the front of the bag gold... you also missed his arm being green instead of red like it is supposed to be, conform the rest of the print.

[@customlegoworks]

You lost so much filament and time by not purging into the actual model. Not sure when you made this vid but it’s been in the slicer for a while now.

[@emanuelcalderon]

What speed do you print at with this prints?

[@lexdysic416]

Being able to set it to auto jump to the next spool on runout is a fantastic idea. I think Bambu Labs should move this idea to the top of the list.

[@mascot4950]

I vaguely remember reading it being suggested ages ago, and Bambu saying something along the lines of "yeah, we'll be doing something like that", but since it's still not here I guess they're not prioritizing it or they're taking the time to think of and implement support for all scenarios.

[@Festivaljunkie]

@@mascot4950 i think it's twice over an issue; run out while doing multi color- do you go to the next color or prompt to refill that color and pause? vs when you're doing one print, many spools of same color and hop to the next spool on run-out just to make print-farming easier. either way, shouldn't be hard for them to tackle.

[@rubendariovelez]

mmu`s prusa do that

[@leesakowski790]

The Prusa MMU2 (mine is hooked to a MK3S+) already has this as a feature for their material changer, so it shouldn't be that difficult to add into the printer code to have an option of switching to the next spool and/or next spool of same color and material (the Prusa MMU2 just moves to the next spool in line). It is a nice feature since you don't have to put aside a partial spool if you don't feel there is enough on it for the job and don't have to deal with the frequently dubious fusing of 2 smaller spools of used filament into one larger one.

[@JonS]

My IDEX printer has this feature. It’s called Backup Mode, I think.

[@moth.monster]

The fact that it doesn't force you to use their NFC tagged spools is amazing.

[@Festivaljunkie]

i was worried about this at first. don't give them any ideas!!

[@dannyboy8231995]

I still see people telling others " RFID MAKES IT SO YOU ONLY USE THEIR FILAMENT" like, no. You are stupid. More Bambu superiority for the rest of us.

[@Festivaljunkie]

@@dannyboy8231995 people are ignorant and many are upset they spent nearly this much for their 'completely open source' slower printer. weird hill for them to die on, but it's ok. I'm building a couple of vorons and I see some things that can already be improved upon. :)

[@Sembazuru]

What would be even better is if they opensource the details of the data on the NFC tags to allow other filament manufacturers to start putting the same tags on their spools, and then other printer manufacturers be able to read that data to "autoconfig" to the filament brand, type, and color. (Similar concept to USB device ids.) Need to see how much they give back to the community of the other opensource IP that they've used to build their machines. I haven't been paying any attention, so I don't know how likely they are. Are they as collaborative with the community as Prusa, as vampiric to the community as Creality, or somewhere in-between? Or is it too soon to tell? (I mean, even Prusa holds off releasing some of their innovations until they have hardware shipping to avoid bad players like Creality from outselling them before they can even ship the first unit.)

[@blackstoneriverworkshop7167]

There are problems though. We're currently unable to get a straight answer about how much of your data goes back to the company in China. Oddly enough we did get a sideways answer and we're seeing that while the camera feed is only speaking to the LAN, the job data seems to go out to the cloud.

[@merkatorix]

Same. But I would try to get a white beard, which bothered me even more. It could be an asymmetric coat overall, but a green beard looks a little punk ;-)

[@Graham_Wideman]

Hey Daniel, nice video as usual. One idea -- for strict multicolor printing (ie: not multi material) it would be nice if you could tell the printer to print the actual multicolor model, plus another model that serves as purge tower, but is instead some useful part whose color you don't care about. Or for that matter, if you're printing a three color model, then have three other parts you want, each can be a single color. Of course the heights would need to be somewhat compatible. But this would save a bunch of otherwise waste filament.

[@JeronimoStilton14]

That would be quite a fun feature

[@bracco23]

I would also be nice to have the purge go into support or infill as a way to reduce waste.

[@JohnSmith-rt5yq]

@@bracco23 it can do it

[@customlegoworks]

That’s an option in the settings. You can also turn on or off prime tower to decrease time.

[@jontay4199]

@@JohnSmith-rt5yqis it simple to implement, and how effective is it? I guess the purge block isn’t huge, but it seems to me that the block wouldn’t fit inside the model. Would love to hear about this, I’m strongly considering getting a P1P and the AMS

[@crowguy506]

@Modbot CAUTION! 9:34 is wrong. The order of installation is critical, otherwise the I’ds and machine order for ams 2-4 get randomized. Ask me how I know. Always connect the units one by one in exact order. Especially if you want an older V2 unit not to be the default ams.You can’t change ids until they’ll fix the firmware.

[@zephyfoxy]

One of the advantages I like is the auto-refill. No more worrying if that little bit of filament on your spool will be enough; if you have an identical spool of filament (same type, brand, color) in the AMS, it'll automatically use the 2nd spool when the 1st runs out.

[@guscrossing]

There's no need to set your flush and prime so high. So far I got as low as 0.2 multiplier and 10 for both prime width and volume. I also flush into infill but that's not crucial even for small prints. Love to see more people experiment with these values.

[@damc7456]

Flushing into infill is a brilliant idea! I just posted the following comment... "Where are all the three color mixing 3D printers??? A 3-in-1-out extruder with cyan, magenta, and yellow should be able to cover the color spectrum quite nicely. I'm fairly new to the scene and am surprised to find that the market hasn't already been inundated with armies of printers touting their ability to best provide that solution."

[@DannoHung]

I'd love to see a tuning guide for this. I try to stick to only using the AMS capabilities for indicator layers and things like that since I want to avoid wasting lots of filament.

[@JoeyBlogs007]

If they could design the slicer to print a useful product with the purge material, they could minimise the waste. i.e. something where colour variation is not significant. like clothes pegs or furniture coasters etc...

[@filmatura]

It's designed that way. You can "wipe to object" and print stuff with the pruge

[@FedericoAlbano83]

Thanks for the nice video. @6:10 you mention 7 and half hours for material purging, but that is not correct. It's 7 and half MINUTES which is the standar preparing time (ABL, flow calibration etc). For the rest: I have the AMS and I love it 🙂

Been toying with the idea of grabbing this setup with the carbon. Seemed foggy at first, but now that you have broken it all down, the connectivity is a lot clearer. Thanks, Daniel. Fantastic vid as always.

[@grantdeisig1360]

Just my two cents here. But people really downplay the waste. He is right that making multiple items can take the sting out of it a little bit. But it's still wasteful. I don't have an X1, but I do have the Pallette 3 Pro that can do 8 colors on any machine, and boy oh boy is it wasteful. It's really cool at first until you realize just how much filament your throwing away, and then it gets to that point of wondering if the extra cost associated with the waste makes multi color worth it. Also one thing I have yet to see anyone talk about is multi material with the AMS. Changing PLA colors is easy but how does it handle changing different types of material? I can tell you the Pallette sucks at it. But only because it tries to melt the filament together in one big strand and different materials don't like to stick to each other. Plus you have to remember that your nozzle will have to pause and heat up/cool down between material changes and this can cause issues going from a higher temp material back down to a lower temp material, because there is always a little bit left in the nozzle to push out, and if it can't melt properly, your gonna get a jam. There are lots of things to consider when thinking about multi material printers. I'm not telling you what to do. I think the bamboo labs printers look pretty sweet. But after learning with the Pallette, my outlook on these types of printers has changed. Printers with independent tool heads like IDEX machines are the way to go if you want to avoid waste and material changes. Then again, if we ever get a decent affordable home solution for recycling our waste back into filament, that would be a game changer.

[@petercasper224]

@Grant Deisig I was thinking of just using it for continuous printing for one color when long prints are necessary.

[@grantdeisig1360]

@@petercasper224 That would probably work very well with the AMS. The pallete can do this too, though I've never used it that way yet.

[@petercasper224]

@Grant Deisig thanks for the heads up. I have prints that go for days. I have to babysit waiting to swap out a spool. With the ams that would not need to happen unless it chewed thru all four rolls. Not very likely.

[@boonjabby]

I also use the option to purge into the infill. That saves a tonne of time and purging

[@digitalpilgrim]

Enjoyed the video. It's an exciting time to be in this space. Years ago the thought of having a 3d printer just like everyone had a 2d printer was faslr fetched. It's inching closer as printer companies make improvements. I'd like to see Bambu do something like the x1 only larger and possibly idex. I hate seeing the wasted filament. Cool stuff

[@taoyeblue]

Brilliant video. The Automatic switch to the same filaments in AMS when one spool is empty will be in the coming firmware update!

[@NSCXP2005]

Would be nice if something like this could be available for other printers to do easy multi colour prints other than the palette series. Maybe a cheaper option to the palette.

I hope this spurs on more manufacturers to make good multimaterial units! Personally not in the market for a Bambulab printer, but I would love to see Prusa revisit their MMU for some much needed polish, and maybe even see Creality join the game.

You also missed the left arm ;) Great video, beautiful prints!

Check out the Mosaic 3 pro. It does 8 colors but it does it by splicing in the new color, with a buffer to keep the color clean, and you have all 8 spoon hooked up at the same time. You can switch back and forth

I'd love to see an app where you can create and print out a NFC tag that can be attached to other manufacturers filament spools for the AMS to identify. Sure would make life easier when switching spools. That might cut into Bambu Lab's filament sales so I don't see them offering this feature. If the X1 Carbon is as reliable as my Creality and Kingroon printers, then I'll definitely be buying one.

[@user-qv1dp2xh5q]

That shouldn't be hard go scan one with your phone. I used to make amiibos for Nintendo to use with super smash bros and its super easy and you can buy the nfc stickers from Amazon.

[@ozzytheartist4780]

So, one of the things I am seeing that is not even closely talked about enough is...waste material. The amount of waste the x1 produces is insane - "212g of 340g is waste"!!! (even halving the ratio by doubling the model is still crazy waste). The few times I have seen this issue brought up, the "Bambu-ites" come back with "...but you can adjust the purge volume setting". Regardless, that waste material is $ straight into the bin. How many filament companies are sponsoring AMS videos (where waste amounts are glossed over) so people will buy their product (and waste a bunch of it)???

[@hyksos2]

I think this is the next big challenge and there's a big part that can come from the slicer software, instead of purging the filament they should use the infill to do the color change purge. They also need to reduce the number of color change, when gong from layer to layer, use the last color from previous layer to do most of the new layer

[@ozzytheartist4780]

@@hyksos2 well yea, but even purging in the infill (and interior perimeters) only purges a small amount. It’s the biggest reason I have not bought an MMU unit for my Prusa

Material handling is machine specific, any other mfg could order a AMS and integrate it into their platform.

Maybe gun manufactures should make their own new mount for scopes so that only their scopes work on their guns and their scopes won't mount to others guns. Lol See how insane that sounds?

How well does the option to change colour within the infill/support work ? That purge tower (Currently, hopefully it'll get improved in future) loses you quite a bit of material that could otherwise still be used but just hidden within those infills and supports.

[@rog3775]

The tower is used to get the new incoming filament flowing correctly. You can hear it start printing slowly then picking up the pace as the filament is getting up to tempature. I have made mine a bit smaller as well, like he did in his video. I haven't tried to see exactly how much smaller to make the tower. But yes it still needs some tower there. I hope I made sense with my explanation.

I feel like AMS is oriented toward the business side as it is the most optimal when printing in batches. Printing one or a few models can produce so much waste that it just feels wrong. It would be cool to see a filament-making device from Bambu lab that uses all of that purge waste, but I doubt it will ever happen for obvious reasons.

[@edrumsense]

Do you know if it can be used to print into different materials? for example, Removing supports from PETG is a pain, but PETG print and Silk-PLA supports will be amazingly easy to remove

Serious question, why cant we have the purging process to print the inside of the object? That will save so much materials.

I thought of this the other day. Why doesn't bamboo labs make the filament change a little before the color change so it will merge seamlessly to the next color with no waste? With the known length of filament left from the cut, this doesn't seem impossible.

[@pmcquay1]

This is a very understated but IMO excellent idea. Very simple and possible to implement using existing hardware. I wont get into multimaterial until the purging issues are a solved problem, IMO purging more plastic than your actual print is unacceptable, and this would probably go a long way toward solving that issue.

It’s impossible. Especially when changing from dark to light colors or when you have very small color changes on a single layer.

@ModBotArmy I was wondering if there is a way to contact more than 4 Bambu Labs AMS systems at once? I am probably not the only one thinking this. Ya 16 colors or different filament types is a crazy amount already. But what if you want to run more then 16 colors or filament types is it possible to do? Also are there any other AMS systems out there for Bambu Labs printers? Or at least cheaper ways to add multiple AMS systems to the Bambu Labs AMS systems you already have? I think everyone would agree that if you already own 1 Bambu Labs AMS systems then you shouldn't have to keep paying full price to add more AMS systems that all piggyback off that one system.
