Ultimate BambuLab AMS Upgrade! (Python)

[@humebeam]

Hey thanks for the review! I've linked to it from the project pages, I hope you don't mind. RFID support is coming soon (with the next update), if testing goes well that is but I'm fairly confident.

[@ModBotArmy]

@@humebeam hey!! Thanks for making such an awesome upgrade. That’s super exciting for those that print with a fair bit of Bambu lab filament. I don’t mind the linking at all 🙌.

Hiya! @humebeam I have an X1 Carbon (that's not working right now, but I won't ask for help on that here) and I'd love to have a Python AMS built for me. Do you offer that service? This is such a cool project. I'll be keeping an eye on it for future updates/functionality.

[@TheDepep1]

My one gripe on this design is that all spools are top loaded. The Python with elcousure is 69mm (nice) taller than a stock closed ams and 79mm shorter than an opened ams unit. This makes stacked designs much taller. I wish there was a way to make them front loaded so that the encousers can be mounted ontop one enouther and allow for a shorter overall stack.

[@coreymartin9630]

The MicroCenter in Denver is running one of these on their demo P1S, seems really worth for cardboard spools especially because the rollers on mine have been getting gunked up with cardboard dust and stop gripping them reliably

[@carneliotophat6512]

I’m so happy you’re making this video. I saw the Python upgrade on printables but I didn’t see anything on KZbin yet so I didn’t want to jump into it. Very interesting video.

[@fixerone1963]

This is amazing, I will certainly be updating my AMS with this setup. Really fixes the feeding and spooling issues. Cool 👍😎

[@dissidentleathermonster]

Just ordered the full hardware kit yesterday. I printed the parts in ABS and I cannot wait to put it together! One down, three to go!

[@thecamarokid4230]

I have a chamber heater in my bambu x1c and a bento box and the max chamber temp is 55C-60C and my PETG Bento Box I bought from VoxelPLA, deformed after a couple ASA prints. I bought it with printed parts, so all the parts are printed from PETG from VoxelPLA. Saying all that, if you do want a heated python AMS, I would recommend printing either in ABS, ASA or a better, more heat resistant filament.

[@DuckDuckDad]

Thank you! This is really helpful information

[@-_-._.-.]

Or you can annealed it

[@Rmstrjim]

The temperature is not the single variable here. A bento box is expllicitly made to be in DIRECT contact with high airflow. This is not a similar scenario to the environment that the python parts are seeing in operation. The rate of airflow matters for material softening.

[@phillipureno8185]

It seems that no one has solved the big issue. Making it easy to open the bottom to clear filament from the feeder. It seems harder to clear the filament because you still need to unscrew it and take it out to be able to get to the bottom of the AMS. Do you think you can ask them to design it with an easy access opening door on the bottom to make it easy to clear the bottom feeder? Thanks

[@TheUndefinedGhost]

So I did wind up getting this from Voxel PLA with full hardware kit and everything. Couple of things to note (Currently assembling the enclosure and will edit with more findings): 1. They didn't go through and remove all the excess filament from the heat sunk inserts. I still had to do that myself, especially on the top trim pieces. 2. While they do send a lot of hardware and bag it all separately depending on what you're building it falls short on what's needed. The instructions clearly call for 28 M3x10mm and they send M3x8mm for whatever reason and 0 M3x12mm. I wound up having to source M3x12 for the top because there's no way that the M3x8 will fit through the top rim, acrylic, and the resting lip for the lid and screw in. As far as the actual print quality and assembly it's gone really smooth minus the hiccups mentioned above.

[@voxelpla]

I wanted to quickly chime in. Just last week, we updated the design to the new version 1.0.3 version, which is completely insert-less, making it much easier and faster to assemble. As for the screws you mentioned, the original version required the M3x8mm screws, and the new 1.0.3 version will come with the M3x10mm and M3x12mm screws by default.

You two are the reason I’m motivated to keep 3D printing. ❤🙏

[@dieselphiend]

I bought my first 3d printer in 2016. A delta printer from a company called "Micromake". From there I went to a Tevo, and then Ender, and now finally Bambu. How far the industry has come in just 8 years is astonishing.

[@neversinkmakes]

I’ve had a similar experience. I bought the Monoprice Mini Delta when it was an Indiegogo project and used that for several years. I then upgraded to an Ender 3 v2 about 3 years ago. I’m anxiously waiting for the holiday to unwrap my Bambu Lab P1S with AMS. 3D printing technology has come a very long way in the last decade. I’m most excited about being able to print 4x faster than on my Ender, but multi-material printing is exciting too.

[@dieselphiend]

@@neversinkmakes You will love the P1S. It's such a fantastic printer, especially with the AMS. I didn't know Bambu Lab had RFID in their spools such that the printer identifies the material, and applies all the correct printing settings. It's very convenient.

[@DanielChaves1984]

So you would need to buy the two polydryers separate at about $160+tax usd and this enclosure and hardware for another $75+tax usd for a total of $235+whatever taxes was. Hmm I've been fortunate haven't had any serious issues with my AMS so this isn't for me but I do like the dryer idea, I wonder if we could just cut some holes on the bottom of the AMS to mount one polydryers too with some feet to balance it, then make/print a modified vented version of hydra to let the heat pass through. 🤔

[@woodwaker1]

Interesting project, looks like it tackles a lot of the deficiencies of the AMS

[@JohnOlson]

Really like this project. Very tempting. I would love to see a one month follow up video to see if it's living up to expectations.

[@MadcapActivityDomain]

I've been using mine for about a week now, printing every day. I've had no issues at all. Clearing a length of filament that had snapped (brittle ABS) in one of the feeder ptfe tubes was SO easy since they are easily accessible (I haven't built the enclosure yet). The build is a little fiddly at times, but wasn't difficult, just time consuming. The project felt extremely well designed and thought out. I believe the designer is an engineer by trade if I remember correctly.

[@Zzafari7]

i wonder if you could buy the AMS parts as well to use on a non bambu printer, a simpler build than a ERCF or something like that

[@Trust_me_I_am_an_Engineer]

10:18 I would put the internal mechanism in after completing the bottom housing and then slotting the panels in and completing the upper part, instead of ladling it in from above. Thanks for posting this very good video!

[@snart]

Starting this build myself. Looking at the instructions, it doesn't look like you can fasten the side panels if the AMS is in the way.

[@Trust_me_I_am_an_Engineer]

@@snart 🤣 Seriously? Oh ,well. I wish you all the best on a successful build.

[@jleadbetter29]

Does adding the external spool functionality make it compatible with tpu/flexibles?

[@acjensen-design]

I would think so? I’ve used TPU on my P1P external feeder with no issues and since the external feed bypass on the Python uses just the extruder motor (doesn’t use the AMS feeder gears), it makes sense that it might work. That’s just a theory though since I haven’t built this yet.

[@michaelmendoza1818]

Pretty cool, I think probably safe to get just the parts you need from bambu so you don’t have to gut the other one and then put it on your P1S and put the DIY one in the X1C.

[@drosendahl]

So apart from the enclosure its more or less a "upgrade" from an AMS to an AMS light? Or do I miss something?

[@BrianWahoff]

have you done a video showing off your filament storage? I'm building out an area in my basement and would love to see how other makers organize and manage a large number of spools.

[@BrianWahoff]

Sorry - that was a dumb question. A quick search of your recent videos gave me the answer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZK8YY2ohNNmrqcsi=FcXjTDC1ayNE-SUL Thanks for the content!

[@TheNerdArmory]

How does it secure to the spool? Often the inside of spools are different diameters, how does this stop the spool from spinning instead of the gears that were designed in this for that purpose?

[@robertcuevas7180]

I’m new to 3D printing and the understanding of this world so forgive me if the answer is obvious but: So when wanting to use an “abrasive” filament- or one that couldn’t be used with the AMS- with the Python, you will still need to manually load it when you bypass the PFTE tube with the motors? So wanting to print with multiple colors of an abrasive filament still needs to be done manually? If I had x4 abrasive filaments in here, it’s just acting as a housing for x4 “External Spools”? This wont make using those filaments automatic?

[@fatboy1271]

I feel like I really need to get started on this! My 2 AMS Units are awful and have been for quite some time. I'm just concerned that I'll build this, and the issues will be Bambu hardware that is reused in the Project... 🤘🤘

[@TheNextDecade]

Super cool upgrade dude!! I gotta try it soon!

[@thecamarokid4230]

I feel like having 4 of those heaters is very inefficient and very expensive. Maybe there's another way to heat the python AMS?

[@MandicLabs]

Really been considering this after HATING the pair of AMS units I have lately. Thanks for making this video. Really curious if this will save my major overruns on print time from AMS issues.

[@ModBotArmy]

The build is pretty involved but with the 608 bearings and gears used motion is buttery smooth compared to the stock setup. I imagine it will definitely help. While I have used a ton of cardboard spools when they get to the end and are really light I have had issues with them lifting from their slots and not feeding properly. This should completely eliminate that from happening. If I where building from scratch I think I would go without the enclosure just due to me not having moisture issues with what I print but so far I am really enjoying the finished product.

[@MandicLabs]

@@ModBotArmy My issue is slipping on the rollers. Even a full spool of Prusament on a plastic spool, still slips. I actually have a video going live like... now, that shows just how bad this has become. Maybe I'll stream the build to justify it, ha.

[@ryanwillits4996]

Buying the hardware kit and the printer parts still requires an AMS to extract additional required parts correct? I want to continue to use my AMS and looking for a cheaper/more versatile solution for 8 color prints. what do you suggest?

[@rcats848]

You can make your life easier on hex screws by picking up a right-angle ratcheting screwdriver and some hex bits. Should fit into those tight spaces and gives you a nice ratcheting mechanism.

[@jackcoats4146]

The 3KG spools would be interesting!

[@dougacker4738]

My sole concern is the erratic feeding of the spools; at times they function properly, and at other times they do not-the filament simply slips, and there is no movement, only the sound of the feeder gears turning. Despite installing four new feeder units and a new hub motor, the issue persists. It seems to be a problem with the gearing of the large wheel slipping, or perhaps a torque issue. Fortunately, I have retained one of my original AMS units.

[@ifoxino]

very nice thank you, please what kind of screwdriver is it? amazing solution

[@2QRh6g1I]

My only concern is that it wouldn't be as airtight as the original AMS which has a unibody construction due it being injection molded. As a result more moist air could enter the python as compared to the original enclosure.

[@chehsin]

Is it cheaper to get a brand new AMS and cannibalize the parts needed or just buy every single AMS parts(considering no use for RFID circuit board)

[@Eric_Wolfe-Schulte]

Since it supports bypassing most of the feeder mechanism and directly rotates the spools, can this handle flexible as well as abrasives?

[@ModBotArmy]

For flexibles I prefer as short of a path as possible. However if you did something like 95A and up it’s very likely this would work fine for it. May take a little effort to get it routed but shouldn’t be too bad.

[@DanielChaves1984]

@@ModBotArmy could you use those bypass caps on the stock AMS?

@@DanielChaves1984 yes! Well the easy load and thumb saver aspect but I don’t know how you would route extra Bowden without drilling for the external function. Also the stock rollers don’t free spin so it wouldn’t work.

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

While it may seem Overkill to have four dryers on the unit, it's worth remembering that each dryer was only really intended to dry one spool of filament at a time, and while it may be capable of more, its performance is going to suffer when it's pushed harder, especially with as big a volume as this has

[@GarryWButler]

This is so tempting! I hesitate to do this to my only AMS. However, I might see if I can find a used AMS or sources for the "replacement" parts from Bambu. Looking at the Bambu site, you can buy every internal part for the AMS from Bambu. I am considering ordering the kit from Voxel and then working on sorcing the internals.

[@EngineerWilky81]

I had a similar thought. Looking at the current pricing off the parts for the internals it comes out to be more than the cost of a new AMS unit. Before you get to the circuit boards it was coming out to be about $285. With all the electronics needed, it comes out to be about $363, with the currenting prices. That's without the PTFE tubes. The current price for a new unit is currently $350. So I'd probably either go for a used or buy a new unit instead of sourcing all the internals. Could get used that doesn't work and source the broken parts if the used price is reasonable.

I do use other filament ( i do love me some cheap natural ABS or some prusa orange PETG) but I would prefer a mod to add heating the the original, if a spool i buy does not fit ( not that common) i will re spool it.

Lo peor de los ams, es cuando tenes que desarmarlo por un filamento roto y no veo que el mod arregle eso. Al contrario.
