Important! This is a remix version of Perfect Fit Bambu Lab/Bambulab AMS Feeder Button Cover Protector for the new revision of AMS feeding funnel. There are several reports that such AMS units arrived to users from 08.2023. Please check the thickness of AMS Funnel Buttons before printing the covers! If the thickness is more than 1mm (should be about 2mm thick) - then take this version. If it is about 1mm thick - then take the original here or here.

IMPORTANT! Pay attention to the thickness of PTFE tubes - unfortunately they are very different!

My model is designed for 4mm +/- 0.05 PTFE tube!

Bambu Lab X1 AMS Feeder Button Cover/Protector - what is that good for?

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 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! :-)

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.

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 have done everything right and the protectors should still fit too loosely - you are welcome to use the stiffer version - the jaws are 0.4mm thicker: https://makerworld.com/de/models/49677#profileId-51528

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”!

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 on this video, here you can see how you can easy get these protectors on the feeder properly!

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.”
