A1 with AMS lite

I’m at moment printing enclosure version 2 for ams lite as it has more space than version one . I’m still trying to figure out which vertical mount . See few options.

Has anyone mounted enclosure version 2 on A1 and which vertical mount did you use and how you finding it.

Link to what youre referring to?

This is the enclosure version 2 for ams lite I’m printing.

Looking at these vertical mounts

This is vertical mount I’m more interested in

And this is my second choice

IMHO, that is way too much weight up way too high. Unstable. If you don’t want the BL-sanctioned horizontal top mount I’d wall-mount it or (like I did) stand it on a shelf behind and above the printer.

I have limited space . There’s a window behind printer I currently have AMS lite mounted horizontal but I can’t get access to back 2 spools so need to side mount so I can get spools from either side

So if mounted on top cross bar not good idea

How about this mount

Or maybe this vertical mount as it has its own support

Here’s a particularly bad example: Instead of mounting the printer on the wall with brackets designed for that purpose, they put it on top of the printer. :man_facepalming:


But back to the main topic: The way those tubes are routed doesn’t look healthy.

Just as a general note, even though that wasn’t the question:

Right next to the window is the absolute worst place to put a printer. You can’t open the window while printing because drafts can harm the print. Sunlight can shine on your filament. Especially in winter, the window radiates cold, and in summer, heat.

I’d generally consider finding a different spot.

There no option to mount on way as a window behind the A1 printer don’t have space as limited. Currently have mounted horizontal position to save on space.once I put in the enclosure version 2 ,will have worse access to back spools . I see a lot of vertical mounts but ruled out most didn’t like setup and layout. If I had more space,then I wouldn’t have to mount but I don’t so have to mount. There no way to mount on a wall

I’m afraid.there no other spot . That window never opened and has tinted glass and blind . I have in office cabin with all my work gear . It’s very warm office even in winter but I know what you’d getting at .I took all this into consideration when I get A1 printer. That why I was looking at last two vertical mounts I posted. I keep looking. I have enclosure version 2 almost finished. Another 4 hours of printing out of 30 hours .

There is always another spot. We are talking about a printer, not a 75 inch flat screen.

Wall mount is the way to go.

You can do whatever you want anyway :grin: :+1:

I’m just sharing my opinion - but here’s an idea: An IKEA cabinet. With a little modification, it’ll fit perfectly inside.

I’ve now put the A1 in a cupboard


Yes, the A1 + AMS Lite fits in an IKEA METOD cupboard!


Windows will always be the absolute worst spot.

This one looks ok-ish…

…at least it passes the weight of the AMS directly down to the tabletop. The second one, no.

Wish I could put in another area but can’t do have to find best solution. Space is limited. I put it this way .I had to tape measure if I could put A1 printer there or not .it was toss between A1 and mini. I have work equipment on each side of it as ND window behind. Can only access it from front a no d not sides or back . My options are very limited. Rules it a lot and give me a few. Thanks for your help and advice.

Dmeader. Your probably right. About best solution. Good for limited space. Swivels so to get all spools. Less weight on printer and more on desk . Can only get access printer from front.can’t from back. Have equipment on both sides so very limited if not none from sides . I probably have to go with this option, i see theres a very varide versions of this, some have improvements in strenght and extra supports Thanks for your help and advice.

as i have said, i don’t have that option. Dmeader gave a good option out of all the options, i probally go with that , don’t have 75 inche tv . my 60 inche big enough for us :slight_smile:

I have a model imaginary space craft hung from a ceiling. It’s about as heavy as a loaded AMS. Before you say “but that’s a static load” you should know that I like to fidget with it, and I’m very clumsy.

Have a light directly overhead so don’t know :+1:, but thinking about it more,might be good option too , vertical ceiling mount , have to do some measurements to see. what i need and to have so i can reach top spools when vertical. i see if i can find any mounts on bambu market

or

After checking and measuring, i decided only option that suits and no pressure onm A1 printer is

theres another creater to added extra supports to make it more sturdy . thanks for advise all
