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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

@EngineerWilky814 ай бұрын
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.

if you just keep your 3d printing room at a certain temp you don't need all these fancy things. I never need to dry my filament bc my environment is controlled.

Good question. An answer would be nice. It was a pain in the ass to learn this for the first time I tried with the ams.

Best feature of Bambu AMS is just drop in spool and load. Kinda bummer you have to screw lock the spool on python.

Thank you for the review, as i have been looking at it for some time. I never heard you couldn't/shouldn't use gf/cf filament in the ams. Same goes for cardboard. Been using polymaker and those work for me. Maybe i just got lucky. Again, thanks for the video!

How difficult is it to replace the PTFE tubes? Looks like a very worth while upgrade, but seeing as how those tubes wear out pretty quickly, it may be more of a pain to replace them on this unit (from the looks of it)

In the enclosure it would be 6 screws to detach the unit from it and then pull it out to have access. No enclosure it’s immediately available.

So you have to sacrifice an AMS to make this. No one has made a kit that will work?

Its a cool project but for me the ease of just throwing bambu filament in and having it just work is too much of a sacrifice as is the "coolness" of the original box. 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.
