UPDATE 30.10.2023
I have added a new version 2.0, it fits the old and new revisions of AMS feeding funnel. Aside from that, in Version 2.0 the PTFE tube is inclined towards the spool. This should ensure even better filament guidance and is particularly perfect for Hymera Mod User to do not have any contact of PTFE with AMS Lid. You can find this v.2.0 of Perfect Fit Bambu Lab AMS Feeder Button Cover Protector for ALL revisions of feeding funnel HERE!
Special thanks to the user @Cerialphreak who helped and supported me a lot in the developmentphase and testing of this new revision version with the “curved PTFE path”! 😍👍
IMPORTANT! Pay attention to the thickness of PTFE tubes - unfortunately they are very different!
My model is designed for 4mm +/- 0.05 PTFE tube!
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 a little 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 try the stiffer version - the jaws are 0.4mm thicker than the first version, as you can see in last two pictures: gray - normal edition, red - stiffer edition.
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? :-)
!!! 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.”

The author remixed this model.
These are designs for the NEW revision of AMS feeding funnel (some AMS Units newer than 08.2023). They have a AMS feeding funnel that has a thicker press button (about 1mm thicker than firs version).
