“Feeder Saver” - The AMS is an engineering marvel. However, the infamous feeder “button”, AKA Feed Funnel, has caused much concern when it comes to longevity. Simply put, it will wear on the edges of the feeder filament entry forcing a potentioally expensive replacement of the AMS First Stage Feeder. My AMS “Feeder Saver” will not only protect you from this potentially expensive reality, it will also properly align the filament to reduce the likelihood of feed and pullback errors. All this for about a dollar in filament for a set of four!
