🙏😊💬Quote from user feedback: "…finally a design that is minimally invasive and works well all the time, does not fall down during operation, without danger of destroying LED and without having to stick some constructions on the first-stage-motors with double-sided adhesive tape!" 

Working on this complicated model takes a lot of time and if you like my work and want to support me - please print my “Designer” printprofiles! Thank you in advance!🙏

! Please take bed adhesion very seriously when printing these little helpers, use 3DLAC OR GLUE STICK if necessary, BUT not BRIM, if you will nice Logo quality! In my printprofile the color sequence is set so that the logo color is printed first in order to get very nice, sharp contours. When BRIM is switched on, Brim will also be printed in LOGO color and unsightly marks will be left on the edges !
 

Important! - if your AMS unit is newer as 08.2023 - please check the thickness of AMS Funnel Buttons before printing the covers! Maybe you will need print this version for the new revision of AMS feeding funnel!

Please read the print instructions carefully! They are important so that the small parts can be printed correctly and then sit and hold well on the feeder! If you printed the normal version, have done everything righ, and the protectors should still fit too loosely - you are welcome to try the stiffer version - the jaws are 0.4mm thicker than the original version, as you can see in the pictures: gray - normal edition, red - stiffer version.

Bambu Lab X1 AMS Feeder Button Cover/Protector - stiffer version!

I have read some reports that the abrasive filaments "grind" the feeders from AMS (which are themselves from the plastic) very quickly! And this problem may affect the loading and unloading filaments !

I found an interesting feeder cap at Printables (thank you, Maverick Ng, for sharing your model!) and reconstructed it a little so that the cap sits very stable on the feeder and can still be easily pulled on and removed. Look at Installation-Video on my Instagram Channel - its very easy! :-)

This is the stiffer version - the jaws are 0.4mm thicker than the “normal” version, as you can see in the first two pictures: gray - normal edition, red - stiffer edition. If you printed “normal” version and the protectors should still fit too loosely - then is the stiffer version is the right one for your AMS feeder! ;-)

With the 10mm long PTFE tube in it, the feeders are now well protected! For printing of really abrasive filaments - take better 30mm PTFE tube - then PTFE inserts are rubbed off more slowly, as short one.

Print / Install Instructions:

• place them with the logo on the build plate
• first layer line width: 0,35 (0.4 mm Nozzle)
• first layer speed: 10ms per second (for perfect look of the button-surface)
• 2 perimeter, 4 top/bottom layer, 20% infill
• take better PLA/ASA - they are stiffer, for better hold on the feeder
• print layer height: 0.16mm and WALL generator: Classic (in this case please no Arachne) !!!
• It is helpful to swith your Bambulab Printer from “Standard” Speed to “Quiet”!
• If you have weak adhesion for PLA on your plate - feel free to use a gluestick or 3DLac!

Cool recomendation from User SHAYDED (Thank you! :-): “If you are struggling with sagging, move the parts closer to the aux fan, orient the overhang towards it, and crank it up to 70-100%”. I had no problems with sagging (just printed 4-5 of them at once and slow), but why not? :-)

Take a look for Video/Post about this model on my instagram channel: https://www.instagram.com/eds_3d_shop/

!!! Please take a look at this video, here you can see how you can easily get these protectors on the feeder properly!

⚠️IMPORTANT!⚠️ You don't need to disassemble your AMS or remove any parts!

Short and cool description from User SpectreGadget : “Push forward with the back of the cap against the lever to snap it in place. Then line up an press firmly down to get over the existing inlet, until it snaps in place.”
