Thanks I bought the a1 mini and discovered a world of interest. I didn’t think I would need the ams. I was wrong. If you are thinking of buying a printer go ahead and get the ams. Most times you can save $50 or more when you buy them together. Even if you don’t print in color it’s sure handy with the optional types of filament. I’m looking for an easy guide to transfer files to the software with Bambu. I’m on the struggles bus but learning the methods is part of the fun.

Just got an AMS mini. Your help has been invaluable in setting up my A1 Mini and now adding the AMS. Thank you keep up the good work!

I set this up correctly and the spools are going the wrong way you can't feed under you have to feed over so it can't work. I don't get it and I put it on correctly

A note: The fifth, smaller hole in the cord divider is meant for the black electrical cable from the base to the printhead. If that's left loose it tends to sneak around to the back side of the gantry column and can make a thwacking sound when it slaps it.

He used a monochrome filament on the boat. It’s a special filament that’s mixed that way for just the one spool.

I bought a use A1, and I hooking up the AMS lite to the A1. How do I know which tube is in which spot? Also, you did not show setting up the filaments parameters, how do I do that?

Thanks. I was missing the point where you had to push the plunger and force the filament to be accepted by the ams lite. good now.

How do you remove the spool holders for smaller reels?

Does the AMS have to be on the right of the printer? Does it reach from the other side?

How do you get it to print all 4 colors at once?
