This is an easy to print and assemble stand for both versions of Bambu AMS. All the hardware needed to assemble is included in the print.

We now have both the 4-SLOT (legacy) version of Bambu Lab's AMS and NOW the 3-SLOT version (newer) available as well. Be sure to identify which AMS you are using. Look on the bottom of your AMS and identify if there are 3 slots. BELOW is the new 3-SLOT AMS design (bottom view). If your AMS does not look like the image below, then you should use the legacy version.

If the bottom of your AMS does not look like this, then you should use the legacy 4-SLOT design.

Below is a view of the new 3-SLOT wall design. It is actually deeper (wider in the picture) than the legacy 4-SLOT design. So be sure and choose the correct one to print.

NOTE: When assembling the cross braces please be aware the double sided bolt only works in one orientation. So, if it seems like it's too tight, flip it around and you'll see it easily fits.

I know I wanted an AMS stand to free some room on my desk and after reviewing every stand I could find, I realized I'd need to build one myself. BUT… I was inspired by one that was close to what I wanted. It's the AMS stacking stand for P1P and X1 by MihaiDesigns. This stand is NOT a remix but rather a rebuild completely from scratch ground up.

I really liked the way the top of the stand fit snuggly into the bottom of the AMS. I didn't like the fact the back wasn't there and you had to purchase metal tubing and fasten it yourself if you wanted it sturdy. Also, I knew I wanted a different look for the stand as well.

So, in Blender, I cut off everything but the mounting teeth on top. I then created a different design but kept the same height and same dimensions. I next added a back brace to make it as sturdy as possible. Everything is ready to print in the 3mf including 4 hand-tightened bolts and the X-brace internal screw bolt. There are spring clips designed to work in PLA that reinforce the X-brace. There are some finger notches in the bottom to make it easy to lift the whole thing with the AMS.

Print in PLA with no supports.

Had a lot of fun making and printing it.

Seems the more recent AMS are different. I can use a saw to cut a notch. But while the one you have pictured has 5 "slots" in the AMS body sides, the ones I have (late Nov 23) have larger ones. Technically, if a notch is added to that middle tab. Say 1/4" wide centered around the middle'ish point where the angle hits the top...it fits just fine. 1/8" is all that is needed, but aligning and hitting it right...... Of note, the thickness is very snug...in all the pulling in and out, I broke that last tab, so it looks a bit angled.

Thank you. I'm very glad you posted this with pictures! I hadn't planned on printing the test piece, but I am going to start with that before burning through 500g of filament. I received my X1C with AMS from the black Friday sale and likely have the same variation. EDIT: I printed the test pieces and don't seem to have the same fitment issue. My AMS does look exactly like yours in the photo. When I test fit the piece, orienting the slants toward the front of the AMS would require a cut like yours, but if oriented to the back like in the other examples, the test piece fits fine on both sides.

Hello StupudMunkee! I have the same AMS as yours; I also bought it during the 2023 Black Friday sale. How is this AMS-X Stand performing for you? Do you have any issues?

@StupudMunkee

Replying to @Braveheart :

@braveheart Yeah, working well. No issues for me, helps to keep it off my counter top so I can use the space more efficiently.

printed very well! may need a bit of support on the tips of the teeth.

@chippwalters

Looks like you printed it with the wrong orientation.

@schuwerk.ryan

you put the file on the plate. just as it looked in the picture of “print this first” and that’s how it came out

@chippwalters

Replying to @schuwerk.ryan :

No idea what happened then. No problems in any of my prints.

@Nybobbyc

even though the X brace screw was VERY tight, once you get it started it goes together fine… wish it was taller to put another AMS under it with room to open top and also I’d really like to see a LED strip attachment/ incorporation. I’d do it myself if I knew how. thanks for an awesome Print!

@chippwalters

The reason the X brace screw was so tight, is it is directional. If it feels tight, try flipping it and then it should go in easily.

Is it meant to look like this

@chippwalters

Replying to @chippwalters :

The new one with 3 teeth

@chippwalters

Replying to @craigtbii :

Maybe you have an old one? Or it's on backwards? I've printed and tested and it works fine on the new AMS. Let me know if you can't figure it out and we can jump on a discord chat and figure it out: http://cw1.me/discord

the best stand i have found for my desk! super print! thanks for sharing it!

@maelstrom

That filament combination looks great! Would you mind telling me what filaments you used?

@rcsrex

Cool design, but the thread/screw for the X brace is way too tight.

The designer has replied

@RaynorsWorkshop

Were you able to get it put together? I’ve not long finished printing it and it feels like there’s no way that bolt is going into the thread :(

@Nybobbyc

Replying to @RaynorsWorkshop :

I’m having the same issue

@RaynorsWorkshop

reprinted the bolt piece in its own at a range of scales 92%-98%. the 96% scale seemed to do the trick for me.

@maysonpeff

I am very impressed with the implementation on this mod of the AMS stand. Everything needed to easily assemble is all in the print. I used just Basic PLA and results were perfect. I would love to see a version of this tall enough so that an AMS unit can be opened underneath but I simply positioned the stand back enough so that the bottom unit could open. I experienced no issues at all printing and assembling in fact it was a breeze. My compliments and thanks to the creators! 5 Stars on this one!

Hello, I have a question, when you need to access the bottom AMS coils, so you have to push the bracket back, doesn't that interfere with the PTFE tube? I ask because I printed the model, so I put a PTFE tube long enough to be able to push the support at the back but I encountered a problem, the PTFE tube seems too long and the spool, at the end of the print can't seem to rewind.

@maysonpeff

Replying to @AllanFonroques :

Hi Allan, In my case I routed the tube through the opening at the back of the stand but you may need to put a longer tube for the bottom one. I had to replace with one a bit longer so I can get the bottom AMS lid open. Easy to do and works great for me so far.

not really. I put and extender on it and seems to work fine. also I got a Riser on the feet of the build so I can open the bottom one completely without have to slide it back and forth. TBH it's all preference to me.
