However in the Device pane in the middle right you can see the filaments loaded in the AMS. Any Bambu filament is auto sensed but others need to be manually defined. Whats throwing me off is whether theres a way to sync the filaments configured in the Prepare tab to the filaments loaded in the AMS in the Device tab. Its a bit odd to me these filaments dont sync up between the two tabs. Also, it looks like TPU isnt officially supported in the AMS? Anyone have experience with this? Do you just load TPU and configure it as standard PLA in the AMS and use TPU settings in the Prepare tab to get the right print settings for TPU? View Quote There is a sync button that syncs what the AMS is reporting. Unfortunately it is usually generic unless there is a way to add custom filaments that can update the drop downs on the printer. Something tells me there is no way to do that. |

First, name the filament in that slot on the prepare tab.
Then run the calibrations from orca or bambu slicer. The pressure advance is saved to the machine Then run the flow calibration. That will create a filament setting by appending calibrated_SlotN to the name you defined. I usually just make sure my custom filament setting has the PA and flow rate values updated, and delete the autocratic names. Filament that is calibrated on that machine is available in the ams dropdown at the bottom. If you can't find what I'm talking about, I'll go to computer later and put up some screenshots |

Just found this thread. I am about to buy a X1 with the AMS for work. I am tired of constantly fiddling with my Ender 5+. When it works it works, but damn if I dont spend a lot of time making it work.

Had my first broken piece of filament in my P1S with AMS - in general it should not be difficult to locate and remove the broken-off piece (unless perhaps it is lodged within the hot end assembly), the only wrinkle, however, is that my printer is not sitting in the easiest place for me to access it (but I will need to address that sooner or later anyway in order to hook up my filament dryer).

Right now you have to use the beta Bambu Slicer to get the profiles, otherwise you'll have to import the profiles and run it off the back hook rather than the AMS as neither Orca nor regular Bambu slicer will let you proceed with printing with a mismatched type. Perhaps there's a workaround I'm not familiar with, but the price point of the ABS-GF is very reasonable, and the PA6-GF is great for the things that need it. Still figuring out how I want to anneal the PA6-GF, there are examples out there of hot oven, boiling water, or hot oil, but I'll probably try them all and figure out what works best. |

Also, the ABS-GF does a good job of resisting warping. I ran a small mountain bike tool yesterday with it, and while I would ordinarily have the door shut for the ABS, I accidentally left the door of my P1S wide open, on a print that would ordinarily have warped badly. The additional rigidity of the -GF apparently meant that the warping was much less of an issue.
I just did this on my P1S, hardened nozzle. The new Bambu PA6-GF for the dark parts, the ABS-GF for the body. I was very pleased with how well the printer did both of them, and I would say the hardened nozzle is a must-have for doing these materials. Attached File It actually sounds really good, much better than the PLA Silk one I printed, and as a bonus, I don't think my car can get hot enough in the summer to unmake the new one, unlike the PLA instrument. |

The strings do matter, I'm running some cheap strings: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0002Y6BJI and guitar-style tuners: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HIC4QJO Then the carbon fiber rod can be had pretty cheaply from a couple places. The Bambu P1/X1/A1 build volume can't do the body in one go, so you have to do the body in three parts. That said, I used a 3d printing pen with a bit of the ABS-GF to weld it all together *after* stringing it up and letting it settle into the load of the strings. All told, it's like taking a stock Miata to track day. It's not the fastest, or the best looking, but if you're having fun then it's the right tool. I've got an nicer electric I can play if I want to, so the Hovalin fils a niche that I enjoy. That said, the ABS-GF is no joke, it's a good value and prints really well. The PA6-GF is the easiest I've done that gives good results (including -GF and -CF). |

To share some of the things that I've learned from my time with my P1S and A1Mini, with my background in 3d printing coming from a mess of self-built vorons and an overbuilt Ender 3:

I pulled the trigger and ordered the AMS, in spite of my trepidation about it.
I bought a flexi possum from cults, and I just have to do the color version. Also had to find alternates to the designers colors. I'll wait til the AMS ships before I order those though. |

Put the AMS on the left or right of machine? Will the tubing be long enough?
It's due Wednesday, been printing the desicciant cups, a hygrometer holder, and cardboard spool rings. Silica gel, hygrometers, filament due today (through USPS, on a holiday, no less!). |

Can't put mine on top or above without major rearranging, as mines on a wire shelf rack, with filament on top rack.

I have the AMS on top, but there is a shelf just to the right where I can relocate it when going in the top cover.
If anyone's looking for a standalone table, you need about 18" x 24" and this one fit in well for my industrial-style storage room. Mostly tools etc fit in a basket on the lower shelf.

My AMS is on the top of my X1C, but I printed a riser and storage solution. Along with a Unifi camera holder. And my pic is rotated but you get the idea.....
