This is what I love about the maker community. Nice design with clear instructions. And FREE. What a guy

[xxfloppypillowxx]

This is the most helpful mime I've ever met.

I have no plans to make this, but I just got sucked into watching the vid. really liked how you presented the assembly instructions.

[bonbonmon]

Never could of build it without ur video! Thanks a million . I messed up a roll because I'm new and now this build and you saved the day and my wallet

[georgeschneider]

This video is AWESOME. Super clear instructions and not a word spoken!!! This video can be used by any maker regardless of the language spoken. This should set a new standard in instructional videos. Great Job on the video and on this awesome model! Both are a feat in engineering! Thank you so much.

Printed out excellent using your 5 .3mf plates for my Bambu X1 Carbon. As a side note to anyone wandering about the “just a small screw” for the handle. I used an M2 x 8 and it worked beautifully. Thanks for designing this!

[Malphas]

Printing now thank you so much for making this video and for making it free to the community

[jimcree]

Really great concept and appreciate the generosity of just making at free and putting out a tutorial vid.
I did have a couple of issues I solved in the following ways

The piece he places on at 9:40 I had a few issues where it would move slightly off I needed to see EXACTLY which position it needed to be in and CA glued it down,
I also had to file down the top of the outside teeth of the linear gear rails (specifically when the spool is way from you the top right and bottom left teeth the just shorten the top of the teeth to give a bit more clearance for the half gear to pass on the ends)
The handle kept breaking printed the heavy duty files and it works a treat

Thanks for all the hard work

[chuysaucedo]

This was so awesome. Not only the free design, but super clear instructions and step by step install video. Send this guy some money. Or coffee. Or both! (Yes, I'm send him some myself)

[Tarbard]

No talking or music makes this a relaxing presentation.

[MattariOnline]

Absolute respect for making such an amazing piece, getting the gear ratios all just right...fine work of engineering.
As I write this, I'm printing out the parts and can't wait to put it together!

[corlissmedia.]

I am so glad this is happening. Thank you for demystifying the gear coming from Bambu. I hope others will follow your lead!

[tombo]

Finally got it all right tonight. THANK YOU for this amazing model! REALLY good! Also, I heated the screws to get them into the caps, great model like I said~! THANK YOU!

[eburgess]

Very well done. No narration necessary!

[Vojec]

Miklos, that kind of stuff must be payable. You put a hell of the effort to work properly. I’ll gladly pay you for a couples of coffee😊. Keep a good work in the future. Best

Great instructions -- If you have big clumsy hands like me; sticking the screws for the knobs into a 4.5mm socket (the head sits right on to of the socket) and pressing the assembly together with a vise works great. I know that that 1st knob that went airborne in the shop will eventually turn up.

great design, one of my first bigger prints on the P1P. Few tweaks I did to get it working perfectly:

608 bearings I had were just a tad big inner diameter for the axles so had a fair bit of play (even though the outer diameter was a little tight if anything). Everywhere I needed a bearing to sit I increased the axle diameter by 0.15mm to create a shoulder for the bearing. This does make the tolerances quite tight, but went together fine.

For the filament gear and axle I added a key like the rest of the axles. Not sure why this one didn't have one, with minimal back pressure it was enough to get the axle to slip.

The filament carriage was binding on me at the last tooth, easily fixed by just trimming a small amount from the tooth with an xacto knife (bottom right and top left tooth if facing the machine) so that it wouldn't catch on the turn-around

It took me a while to get everything right, but it works great now! Thoughts/advice:

* print out the heavy duty versions of items - the 45mm axis (should be called "axle", right?) broke for me the first time. Which brings me to...
* don't turn the handle too hard. Each turn of the hand puts a lot of torque on that 45mm "axis". In my case, whoever/whatever wound the original spool did a lot of weird stuff, almost creating knots that I had to periodically clean out. Don't crank on the handle hard! Clear out any kinks by hand instead. It took more time, but I was still able to transfer a huge spool in maybe 4 minutes.

Things could be improved, but this is so amazing. The 60 tooth gear would sometimes come off its shaft and it takes a little bit of work to get it back on the right way. I'll probably put a small screw on top of the axle to hold it.

Oh, and one more thing. Getting the m3 screws into the knobs was I broke a knob trying to tap it in and I simply couldn't get it to work that way. In the end, I used two vice grips to squeeze the screw head into the knob, which was barely doable considering how small the are. If you can't do it, don't sweat it and just use an allen wrench and screw it in. It works just fine.

This is the most interesting style of tutorial I've ever seen. I love it! It's so easy to entertaining to follow along. Thanks for your help.

Oh, heck yeah! This is awesome, and that worm gear mechanism is brilliant. Gonna build one for sure. I've got some spools that are too big for the AMS, so this will work out perfectly. Thank you for such a great model!
