:warning: Important :warning:

This firmware requires the new AMS Hub accessory if you wish to use it with the AMS 2 Pro or AMS HT. A link will be added to this page once available.


New Features:

  • Added support for AMS, AMS 2 Pro, and AMS HT.

This feature requires Bambu Handy version 3.8.0 or later and Bambu Studio version 2.3.0 or later.
Before connecting, go to Settings → AMS Options → AMS Type to select the corresponding AMS model you are using.

Note: Mixing AMS Lite with other AMS types is not supported.

Feature Optimizations:

  • Fixed false blinking issue of the AMS Lite indicator.
  • Improved filament settings UI for better user experience.

Known Issues:

  • When starting a new print from the SD Card, the printer will not check the nozzle size.
  • When the printer is connected to AMS, AMS 2 Pro, or AMS HT, it is not possible to perform a local firmware update. Online update are possible.
  • Certain features may be unavailable when using Bambu Handy versions older than 3.7.0. An update will be available in the following days.

And remember to print this one

It shows as out of stock!

@SupportAssistant has it not actually launched yet and this is why it is unavailable yet or has it really sold out?

If so, that must have been very disappointing levels of stock.

The item is still in stock for most regions.

If it shows up as out of stock for your region, please use the “notify me when available” option on the website to get an email when it returns back in stock.

Every region except the U.K. in yet another example of how poorly the U.K. territory is treated with such poor levels of stock.

Can you find out when they will be in stock next ask them to ship more than (I expect) 5 they did for launch?

It being available in other territories isn’t helpful to me.

tl;dr

  • A1 can now use 4x AMS, AMS2 or AMS HT units. 16 colors baby!
  • AMS-lite not compatible
  • Must purchase a filament hub adapter
  • Must power drying capable units externally, cannot piggyback off A1
  • The beta still has a decent number of bugs in it

All of that is in the wiki, except the last point.

They won’t let us buy one in the U.K. (they think we are too pretty).

But, we can stare at yours (in the US) without being told to go away.

Apologies for this. It will be updated shortly with the correct link.
Thanks for sharing it.

Any word on when the AMS 2 Pro Purchase Page will be updated to include the new information about support for the A1?

Will there be an upgrade kit / bundle for A1 users to purchase?

As an A1 user myself I’m trying to decide whether to purchase the AMS 2 Pro and the A1 AMS hub separately now, or if I should wait until there’s a proper upgrade kit / bundle available for purchase…

Surely an upgrade kit is the AMS 2Pro (with the upgrade kit option) plus the new A1 series buffer.

Both are available now.

AMS 2 Pro Switching Adapter, 20% off if purchased at the same time.

Without discount link.

Is the switching adapter needed if only running one AMS 2 Pro for filament drying function? Or just the buffer?

The AMS functions are powered by the bus, the cable connected to the printer and draws directly from the printer.

The drying functions are powered by the power kit and NOT from the printer.

If you choose an AMS 2 Pro, the implication is you want and will use the drying function, so you need the power adapter kit.

I’m curious what it means by “the update will be pushed to your device gradually”. What does that timeline look like?

id like to know this to, seems bambu have no idea what they’re doing yet again. no UK stock that should be ready to go before a beta started

I’ve never understood why people take a thing being out of stock as either a personal attack, some sort of conspiracy, or more likely, both.

Saw someone else today absolutely frothing because the filament someone used in a print they posted to Reddit was out of stock, leading to them attacking the poster and making all kinds of ridiculous claims.

A few days ago I saw multiple people losing their minds because a filament on a YouTuber’s favorite filaments vid was sold out lol.

So weird.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt an emotion stronger than “that sucks, guess I’m waiting” when encountering something I want being out of stock.

Congratulations on joining less than an hour ago.

I wonder if that is why you misrepresented what I wrote.

Do you think I am the U.K., the entire place, rather than a singular person? That would be weird, right?

A personal attack would have had me as the subject, yet that was not the case.

Well done, reading is good. The 20 minutes you have done here is also worth a shout out, YAY!

Congratulations, videos now.

You are great, thank you for sharing your innermost thoughts.


So that you know, the FACT that Bambu Lab poorly stocks the U.K. is a reality and repeatedly so.

Facts are not conspiracy theories.

Thinking things that are not what was written is a different kind of issue.

I wish you and your incorrect views all the best, good luck with all of the watching of videos and reading you are doing.
