Like a few others, this printed completely fine for me. Manual filament works fine, but I can't use the AMS at all. The filament gets stuck before it gets to the outlet tubing. My only *guess* is that the curvature of the filament might help it get stuck in the small region before the tubing. I don't understand why there is a transition section (see blue lines in image) as it looks like the only thing it does is create a standoff for the outlet tubing which may allow the edge of curved filament to get hung up on the edge of the tubing.I think this will just become a greater problem for switching filament near the middle of a spool where the curvature is greater. I could try to file the Bambu tubing some, but that would probably leave a rough texture.
Very nice and effective design, adapted it to fit magnets that were available to me (10x3), plus making the fit a bit tighter to match my bolts.
I'm looking forward to the June Massive Updates Edition. I check regularly for new updates. Thank you for all of the effort you put into this. I've had very good results using your modified templates.
The Profiles are great and i work with them for long now.
I got one Queststion. In the Last Update, there is no Printer File. Do you use Stock 0.4 Nozzle now?
Nice and rugged design. Printed in PETG, and it feels nice and solid. Was a bit worried about printing it bottom down, but it seems that the layer adhesion is enough to hold the router. I was a bit violent to the bracket before putting it on the wall, just to be sure.
The only issue I had was that the screw holes were a bit too small, but that was easily fixed.
Ooo, thanks you. Excited to use this if I need to.
@lehighkid I think it's the curve that makes the filaments get stuck, straightening out that PTFE helps reduce some of the friction and let's it retract.
## Print
I used Bambu Lab PETG Basic White. This was the first print for me using something other than PLA. The print went well.
## Installation
I was unsure how to uninstall the PTFE Tube and found this article to be helpful. Here is the link:

cool idea :) From a engineering perspective I would design it the other way around (at least I did for the original winder). Make an opening into the part to stick in a drill bit (6mm etc.). This way you don't have to worry about the part, because the force is better distributed
I will refrain from rating with stars. The model is simple, but it didn't help me at all, although I also have the glass riser printed.
Printed with PETG as I had experience on PLA parts came loose after being in a tight fit spot.
Printed for my ams to prevent further wearing on the feeder, I also suggest other ams users to regularly use more than 1 slot for printing, as wear and tear are inevitable even with the most basic filament, and I've noticed a minor wear on the most used slot after heavy printing only on it for quite some time.
About PTFE tube lenght... you wrote: about 50mm / 1 inch should be enough
1 inch is 25 mm - so what do you suggest? 50 or 25 mm???
@Nookie1_518999 1 inch was enough for me.
Made a surprising difference in the sound profile of the exhaust fan. Though I didnt use any magnets, just the one screw. Thanks!
@adnanklink thank you, if any problems, let me know. I think I may change the design in next version to use more of the screws on the outside of the case
Printed a few of these different muffler designs to test with a sound meter. They all basically had the same reduction of @ 100% fan speed 78db without and 74db with any of the mufflers. So this design does it's job well, but don't stress about which one is best, they all perform basically the same in my opinion.
