Hey guys, I have a A1 mini and I received a few 12g spools of test filament. I want to use them to print a benchy buy I have a problem. I see a spool holder on the back for a spool with a holder for a PTFE tube. I did not come with a PTFE tube though. Do I have to disconnect one of the tubes from the AMS to run a external spool? Also the purging feature will get rid of enough of the filament I wont be able to print the benchy.
Welcome to the forum.
Yes you can disconnect one of the PTFE tubes from the AMS and plug it into the holder on the side of the machine.
Here is the wiki page for printing from an external spool.

You should have gotten 5 pieces of tubing…4 for the AMS & 1 short one for the spool.
Nope. I checked the box and it didn’t come with anything. Should I contact them?
It’s up to you.
It might be faster just to buy some.
