I just tried to dry a roll of pink Bambu Matte PLA this morning using the PLA drying setting and the AMS wouldn’t let me.
The AMS also has two rolls of PETG installed.
You can see that the AMS refused to start the drying cycle, requesting that the PLA (that I was trying to dry) needed to be removed first - even though I selected the PLA drying cycle.
I’m on the latest AMS firmware as of this post. Sounds like a bug to me.
It’s because your spool of PLA is still connected to the inlet port. Remove it completely and try again.
@simtom Thanks for your reply. Is that only a restriction/requirement for PLA? I am currently drying two rolls of PETG in the AMS, with them both still connected to the inlet port.
For now it’s a requirement yes. Bambu Lab has mentioned they’re continuing to test various configurations but the main reason for this limit is because there’s a high risk of the filament becoming too soft and getting stuck in the inlet motor.
@simtom Thanks - that makes sense now.
Similar issue/question, different circumstances,
Is the Issue a mixed bag of plastics, or it just does not dry PLA if it knows its PLA?
All PLA in the AMS2 pro. No PETG or other.
Previously I had 4 PETG in their drying, all connected no issues.
I reloaded with 2 Bambu PLA Silk and 2 Elegoo PLA. all correctly identified or edited as PLA.
As stated above if any of them are connected to the port the AMS refuses to Dry. I started with all 4 connected , got down to one, NO go till I disconnected the last one.
The Dryer setting is for PLA. and its only PLA loaded? should not be an issue
The issue from user_2477308589 make sense ( sort off ) this one not so much.
PS I do not get on here to often, not sure if I will be notified of responses. but i will check back in case someone has an answer.

As stated above: if identified or edited as PLA, the filament must not be loaded. It’s because BL expects it might get too soft from drying. For what it’s worth: unload all PLA or edit them as PETG and nonetheless chose the PLA drying profile. And maybe end up with soft plastics in your feeders.

Thank you for your time, I will try your work around, currently I was just unloading all the filament and setting it to rotate.
Lets hope they get all this sorted once they allow drying and printing at the same time.
As I don’t think it would end well identifying PLA as PETG when the AMS can actually walk and chew gum lol
( I did bought the power supply , expecting it will eventually happen)
That really doesn’t pass the sniff test though, because I’m allowed to do it with the h2d and I’ve never had a single problem. Why is it that they won’t allow it on the x1c and they do on the h2d?
