Description
This is another solution to the AMS filament mouth abrasion and a system to smooth the transfer from the spool to the AMS. I tried the clip-on V2 button thing, but it's unstable. I noticed some did add a PTFE, and I thought that was a stroke of genius. Also, some have an excellent bracket design that gives the filament a shallower angle of attack when getting in the AMS. Well, I did design that one that gets all the good stuff and is stable. I have been using in (4) AMS for over 2 months, and I have no issue, no sign of premature abrasion. It did resolve the spool jerking and jumping.
I use a (PTFE) Teflon tube 2 bore x 4 OD x 50mm and print it in ABS and PETg. It is somewhat tight at the first insertion on the AMS but stable. It is tight with a new spool but works well. I thought the PTFE could be shutter, but it works well. Why fixing-it? It int broken… Yet.
-----------
All right, after 30 days of being out there and doing very well, I decided to bring it to another level,
Voici, the soon-to-be-famous the v4,0n.
Get ready for the blah blah blah about it;
Updates: It has the best spool clearance, is taller, has a greater filament radius, has a slimmer nose, does have space for a large desiccant box, allows up to 18mm button, Slimer and more clearances for the PCB.
It's close to the V3.0 but doesn't have the -2.5-degree backward Improved spool space.
I tested it with ABS, and it works as expected, but I recommend using BBL Transparent PETg.
Do Not use PLA. Or only if it's a really good quality, tough one, and you went to the post-process of heat treatment. Put 6 walls, 6 tops and bottoms layers. I think it's asking for trouble using PLA. I should try PLA-CF… That could be fun, Right?
Enjoy, and have a happy new year.

Nice design, I printed them in BBL PETG-CF and it turned out great!

Man you beat me to-it. I just got a spool of PETg-CF and that was one of the first thing I did want to try with. It came out fantastic, nice job printing-it.

Oui je suis de Mtl haha mon pseudo me trahit un peu ^^
J'adore le PETG-CF ce filament a un excellent fini de surface et camoufle bien les défauts de vibration. Résistant jusqu'à 70C il est un peu comme un cousin du PAHT-CF moins performant mais plus abordable..
Par contre j'ai réduit la vitesse d'impression de ce matériau à 70 mm/s car ça réduit beaucoup le build up de matériau qui se forme sur la buse surtout lors de l'impression du infill.
Au plaisir! Je vais jeter un oeil à tes solutions !

Demain je vais voir si mon PETg-CF est sufisament dehydrater et esseyer ton profile. J'ai esseyer du PA-CF , PAHT-CF et du PLA-CF et j'ai pas ete impressionner. Tout les PA soun juste une pain la ou le soleil ne brille pas LOL. PLA-CF c'est bien mais c'est toujours du PLA...

The design is not good... it prints a support and the surface will be ugly...

Sorry, this is from a jack-ass who doesn't know what he is doing.
Use my model, it's perfect like Me...
d.fortin is trying to take advantage of the popularity of my work, pretending he has improved something and here is what it is.
Try mine. I just reprinted it in generic PETg, and there's no need to have support. There's no cleaning.
I use a texture plate and add a little BBL glue. It works, I guarantee it.

Hey Poli27, that sounds great. Let me know how it goes. I may try to get some clear blue and not print it solid. The transparent red makes the LED shine fantastically.
If you have Clear ABS or some transparent PETg with some color, it may up it a notch. I'll take a picture tonight. I thought that was a lot cooler.
Thanks for trying it.

Hi l1v1up
Attractive pallets of colors. Go green! Is this PETg? It looks good. I see you did have to trim the side to accommodate the desiccant box. I did have to find a narrower model.
Thanks for trying it and rating it.

Sehr guter Druck, ein Stern Abzug weil der PTFE Schlauch nicht richtig rein ging , ich musste das aufbohren. Als es dann zum Einsatz kam, hat es mir fast die Abdeckung, wo es drauf gesteckt wird , zerrissen, zum Glück waren die aus matten PLA und gehen schnell kaputt, das hat mein AMS gerettet

Ops, sorry, I did think it was another model. What did you use to print it? It looks a little rough. Was it the tip that was too tight? That tip is not my design.

I used ESUN PLA mat and printed with the P1s, the problem was that when loading the filament roll it built up a lot of tension on the component and bent it towards the roll, luckily the matt PLA is weak and has gave in

Hey, Starbucks. It would be best if you still had a PTFE of 50 mm minimum to have the smoothing effect and to prevent the filament from digging into it. Good job printing it.

Comments
- Use case : For my AMS
- Recommendations: I am using it without bowden tubes inserted. We'll see if this will last
Edit: Just read that it's not suitable for PLA? Just curious, what is the reason?

Nice background; I want a printing room that looks like that.
I would strongly recommend adding a minimum of 15 to 20mm PTFE. The filament will just cut the top part (by friction). I didn't know there was transparent PLA, it's nice to know. I did a test with BBL PLA and had a failure. Where the back part split and took out the LED. I recommend using ABS as much as possible.

Got it! will keep it in mind and check regularly for cracks or deformation on the print. yeah, I might as well put in PTFE tunes then Thanks!

LOL Funny... This is not my model. It's quite a similar design by @madismo, but you certainly use my profile.
Well, Thanks for downloading "our stuff." Give him a thanks, too; I did share a screenshot with him for the kick and giggle...
Look at our other stuff. We both have excellent things.

I hope you enjoy it more than you appreciate my work.
I'm still curious why you rate my work so low.
I like to know if I can do anything to make it 100% for you.

Did you print it out of ABS or PETg?
I did PETg this morning, and it came out even better...

Stuck with the ABS option. I'll have to give PETG a go. Also want to see how Voxel PLA Pro does, might be too brittle.

Ya, My experience with PLA is less than OK. My to-go is ABS since I can have an overhang of 30 degrees anytime. PETg is, for a lot of reasons, better than ABS but not so good as an overhang.
Conversely, PLA can do creasy overhang but is too brittle for something that "Work" and stress.
Since this piece has almost no bridging or overhang, PETg did excellent for me.
Keep having fun...

never cared for the design for the more popular versions of this out there. saw this one and wanted to try it out time will tell if it helps. but I do know I haven't had issues with this and really like how small of a footprint it is in the ams and I can still use my desiccant box with it.

The other "more popular" is a friend of mine he is really talented, and his model is more popular because he knows how and where to advertise. It's OK with me. Our designs look alike but don't work the same way. His design bends the PTFE and picks the filament on the spool. Mine is more like a fishing line that smooths out the feeding process. That's why mine is a Smooth AMS, and his an AMS saver :-) Both are good and helpful, but I believe mine reduces the first stage force required

I have his design in half of one of my AMS, and I tested his model before he published it. I did have mine a few months before he showed up.
Again, you did an excellent job printing it. I have to get some. I see you have two spools of it. If the smooth AMS are getting in the way, you can try the Gen 2. It's basically the same thing, but it doesn't take up any room between the first stages.
Thanks again for downloading my work and rating it. I do appreciate it.
