AMS 2 Pro - hydrogrometer

Bambu Lab AMS AMS 2 Pro
1

In the old AMS i had a descicant box in the middle with a humidity sensor. Now with the AMS 2, i feel i don’t need that anymore, as a sensor is build in. Is that a correct enough assumption? I do realize that with the normal bluetooth hydros i have matter integration etc, but I think i rather put more desicant in the AMS.

Any opinions about this? (i am sure there are some :))

I just set up my AMS 2 Pro. Do I need to configure it again in Bambu Studio? I can’t find a tab that shows me my humidity level.

i would love to have any kind of descicant box in it… this little plasticbags cant be serouis

I recommend picking up some stainless shakers on Amazon, and dropping them into the filament spools. These fit very well (2.8 inches tall = ~7cm)

These 5cm x 6cm ones fit even better.

I prefer to use activated alumina as a desiccant, but the color changing silica, 4A molecular sieve, or calcium oxide beads all work.

Or if you prefer to print a solution, I like this model:

In clear PETG they’re beautiful, quick to print, and functional. If your slicer (I’m new to the Bambu ecosystem) has sequential printing and you space them correctly you can print several at a time. Just avoid PLA and likely ABS/Asa. When you accidentally drop one, if it brittle, it’s like a desiccant bomb lol.

Also I’m reading the ams pro 2 is causing filament rolls to hop and flop. I’m hoping when I get mine these will help hold them down.

Hope that helps! It’s a great model.

One more note, I HAVEN’T tried these in any Bambu spools yet.

Does anyone have problems with moisture in the ams 2? In tne ams 1, i got a humidity of 15% with all this little silica containers. Now i have about 25%…

Not one bit. I am curently printing and it states a 5% value. And that has been true most of the time since the printer arrived like 2 weeks ago.

I have 3 sets of silica in there. But i think the main reason is the heat from the printer below it :slight_smile:

Oh and is that was mentioned above. You should print those containers not in PLA. If you use the AMS2 for drying you can have temperature in there that will make them loose their marbles…
