It would be nice to have an AMS HT that could handle a 3kg or 5kg spool. I’m guessing you could sell quite a few to print farms. It would allow for cheaper rolls, less waste, and reduced labor for changing out rolls and/or splicing butt rolls. You could call it the AMS HT Pro.
I doubt that this will happen, especially since BambuLab don’t sell big spools themselves.
I have a bunch of 2,5kg spools and I just respool onto BambuLab spools and then dry them. That also allows to use them in the AMS and in storage I have just a single size.
Stay tuned…3kg/5kg enclosures with spool adapters for most brands - designed to run with AMS-HT for heating/drying and feeding/retraction. A couple more revisions to handle the larger spool on top (very common 5kg spool)
Only mod to AMS-HT is removing the lid, lid “handle” with magnet for closed lid sensor, and replacing soft rollers with replacement pulley to drive pulley on spool adapters (all mods can be restored)
*Currently needs H2 series to print the housing in two parts - future plans to break it up for assy with smaller printers.

Ah dang, seems you beat me to the idea.
Good on ya.
Ope. I was gonna start working on one of these myself, as I love using the big 3kg rolls for CF and GF nylon, and it would be nice to be able to buy larger rolls of gf ASA and others.
What brand of filament do you regular with in the 3kg/5kg variants?
I’m looking to make sure I have as many of the spool adapters available.
