Description

Failed retraction error SOLUTION!

 

Problem:

Filament not able to enter the AMS BUFFER, due to being stuck on an edge in the PTFE coupler.

The PTFE tube inside the PTFE coupler is at a very steep angle, this causes the filament to hit the edge and get stuck.

 

Solution:

PTFE tube guide.

 

By installing the PTFE tube guide you change the entry angle of the PTFE tube to the coupler.

This avoids the filament getting stuck on the AMS Buffer, and you won't get the error anymore.

 

This print supports all PTFE tube outside diameters smaller than 6mm. (Stock Bambu Lab PTFE tube is 4mm outside diameter.)

 

What you need:

The printed file.

Rectangle magnet that Bambu Lab shipped with the printer for the printed scraper. (there should be 2 included.)

(Double sided tape can be used too!)

 

 

 

How to install:

-Print the file (either with logo or without logo).

-Stick the magnet inside the print. (Or double sided tape)

-Place the PTFE tube inside the print.

-Place the print on the back of the printer.

-Angle the print so that the PTFE tube enters the AMS buffer horizontally.

 

Edit: added support for 8x3 and 6x3 magnets!

Replying to @maut3D :
Just wanted to let you know this did in fact solve my issue. This is after trying reducing the length of the ptfe tube, installing the tube guide in the print head, and replacing the tubing with a larger internal diameter. I was honestly losing hope of ever solving this, so thank you very much.

Nice print! I like the colors of the Bambu logo, is it some type of gold filament?

No more thump when filament routes through AMS buffer and no more "failed to load filament into the toolhead" errors. I thought my brand new X1C was broken until I saw this model.

Filament was getting stuck or making loud thunks at the filament buffer before I added this. I printed the 8mmx3mm magnet version and it has plenty of holding strength
