Bambu Labs MMS (Manual Material System)

I have not yet begun to print this, but I think I will this weekend.

I'm curious: I would like to use this to feed 2 printers. I see that there's the mirrored manifold part... but I'm wondering if there would be a way to merge the original and the mirrored manifold part to create two channels per spool, allowing the filament to feed to either printer one or printer two. That way I can print one filament on my P1s and another filament on my Ender 5, and have two filaments on standby. Think this could be done in the slicer?

The "manifold" at 0.08mm layer height was impossible for me with the 0,4mm nozzle, it failed with PLA and PETG as well. Maybe I with try with the 0,2mm nozzle one day. Currently I'm using it with 0.2mm layer height and it seems fine. I used IRONING on the washers, worked great. I would like the model to be open for remixing, I am sure that the community could make it more optimal, easier to print. I would like the bearing pad a bit wider and more V shaped, I am using polymaker spools, which always get to rub against the side. But anyways thank you for the model. O, it's really annoying that 750g slim spools don't fit. (edited)

Looks great, I had small issue with right part lifted from plate, but I was able to put it all together

Excellent manual alternative to an actual AMS. There aren't any automatic functions here, but it allows for spool storage on top of the printer like the AMX, smooth filament feeding and a really great consistency with other P1S or X1C printers that have an AMS. The whole thing looks very at home on top of the printer.

Instructions are clear and the print doesn't take too long to make.

I have to add 1% extra to the x and y axis to allow for my bearings to fit inside the sleeves that guide the filament spools, but this was easily done.

does this work with the a1 mini

First test was the 14 minute benchy with a stiff PLA filament - worked great! Can confirm that Capricorn tubing is way too tight even just for the first 7cm at the inlets (had built that before the looser tubing arrived). Build is straightforward, and awesome!

I had some warp on the corners, while printing with grid, i changed the infill to honeycomb and hat no problem on the second part. Printed it in PLA although i thing PETG or other hightemperature Filament would be smarter, until now i havent seen any negative Changes. Really love this thing, im only a bit scared of printing the lid regarding the amount of Filament.

Just a heads up, the amazon link for the 8mm x 300mm rod by default now links to a 10mm width, not 8mm, so make sure you update it in your cart before buying :)

Why limit to 4 spools? Why not make it 5 spools, and add the ability to stack em? So 10 spools ready to roll. No lid, should allow it to set lower and look better than stacking the OG AMS units. Thanks! ( FYI, Awesome design currently, just seems like everyone is using four, because that is what the OG AMS has, no limits with 3D. )

Hello - great idea&design!
Any chance you upload STEP so i can remix? :)

Great system, really enjoyed the design. Ended up using some EVA foam on the bottom which helped with sliding.

Some remarks:
- One of the largest prints I printed on my P1P so far (regarding print time).
- Also challenging to assemble as most parts have almost zero tolerance. I had some slight warping on the corners.
- Because of that, make sure to use quality filament. I used the cheapest Jayo filament I had available and regretted that decision afterwards.
- The brass insert on the right side for the rod fixation need to be handled with care because material could melt into the inside.
- In general make sure that the insides of the walls where the washers press against are as smooth as possible, consider to sanding it.
- Same applies for the printed washers.
- Use a wall plug to align washers with bearing (helped me a lot, I attached a photo of it)
- You don't need to buy expensive linear axis rods. Just buy a 8mm aluminium pipe instead (was about 2 Euros in my local hardware store).
- I don't have the M10 push connector yet. So I can't give you a final review.
