Overview

The “Position Securer AMS PTFE Guide V3 (Hook)” is the latest refinement in securing the AMS PTFE Guide. This version builds upon the improvements of V2 while addressing compatibility issues with newer AMS models. If you've encountered problems with your filament guide shifting, detaching, or causing unwanted tension, this model offers a more robust and reliable solution.

Design Enhancements

With this V3 update, the hook no longer wraps around the AMS motor button. Instead, it now slips under the button, providing a much more secure and versatile fit. This adjustment resolves previous challenges with different AMS button sizes and ensures greater stability, preventing the hook from slipping off during filament loading and unloading.

Key Improvements Over V2:

Universal Button Compatibility – Newer AMS versions feature larger buttons, making V1 and V2 incompatible. V3 is designed to fit both older and newer button sizes seamlessly.

Improved Stability – In all button variations, there was a possibility of the hook slipping off. With the new under-button design, this issue is completely eliminated.

Sleeker & More Reliable – The refined hook mechanism maintains the simplicity and ease of use introduced in V2 while offering better performance and a more secure hold.

Installation Tips

Assembly remains straightforward. However, to ensure optimal performance:

Make sure the TPU pins are perfectly round to reduce friction and prevent unwanted movement.

Align the hook properly under the button for a tight and secure fit.

Follow the reference images to ensure correct positioning and maximum efficiency.

This version offers a more durable, stable, and adaptable solution for guiding your filament, with a continued focus on simplicity and reliability.
