Description

Because I didn't buy a suitable 4-channel HUB, I used a cheap way to connect, because my HUB needs to be fixed, locked, so I designed this model, it may not be suitable for everyone, people who need it can try it

The original screw is a bit short, only 1 screw can be locked, if you need to buy a long screw, the other one needs to be locked

Screw specification: M3*6L

Another similar model is linked below, the method is the same

Here's how I did it: FYI, this is not the correct way to do it. Any resulting losses will be borne by you.

Below I will share how I modified it. The tail of the 4-in-1-out HUB must be pulled out, and use coarse sandpaper #120 to reduce the size of the tail to below 4.3, not less than 4.0, in order to effectively insert the HUB. Note that the original taper is between 4.35-4.6, so there will be a taper when grinding.
After sanding is complete, finally install the retainer

If you plug directly into the connector without rough grinding, you may get cuts on the PAL wire (because of the teeth inside). It is not recommended to insert directly without sanding, this is a mistake. The above are all personal opinions. for reference only.

@aldoahdz

what is the purpose of this if i can ask, does it replace the hub in any way?

The designer has replied

@jerry320320

When you have 2-4 AMS, you have to buy its dedicated hub, and I installed the hub in a simple and economical way and lock it.

@aldoahdz

so if i have 1AMS and i want to add another instead of purchasing the AMS hum i can just print this and save 50dls?

@EricEJ

Replying to @jerry320320 :

Can you explain how you used this with the AMS hub? Did you move the board from the hub into the AMS buffer, and instead use an A1 Hub, or does the printer not even notice if he AMS Hub that connects the 4 AMS to the X and P series printers no even notice if the hub is there instead of the buffer? I am wondering if this may actually work better than the official hub and prevent filament retraction errors.
