Ams HT RFID not working on A1 mini

Bambu Lab AMS AMS HT
1

I just got in am AMS HT, I have a original AMS and a p2s plus my mini.

I have used the standard AMS on both printers no issues, however on the mini the AMSHT does not recognize bambu RFID unless I click refresh on the machine, and when it finally does see it there is no filament remaining indicator.

May sound dumb but that creature comfort is one of my favorite things about the AMS.

Is this an A1 mini issue or is my product defective?

  • On the original AMS when I load filament it pulls some in, then pushes it back, THEN pushes the filament out to the buffer THEN brings it all the way back. By this time the RFID is fully read. The AMS ht is not doing this. It is just doing the initial couple inches into the tube and pulling back.

Ah, should have thought to try this. It’s only on the MINI, works fine on the p2s.

Anyone else have this issue? Seems weird

Have you switched the AMS type in the settings for both the printer and the slicer?

Read these two links below, I don’t have an A1 mini nor the AMS HT, so I may be glossing over information pertinent to you.

I’m an idiot. With my original AMS on both machines I did not have to change settings. All of the RFID reading settings were turned off by default for the HT. This wasn’t the case for the other one.

Sorry for the post I would delete it if I can, and thanks for the help.

Not an issue.

Nope.

Others will have the same problem because they didn’t know or through swapping, they forgot due to the differences in operation and setup.

Not an issue at all my friend. It’s good to leave this thread up to help others that may have similar issues. I’m glad it was an easy fix.

The other issue I’ve found is that while the AMS HT does read the RFID tag for TPU 90A, it won’t load that filament and it remains in the “Ext” slot.

Would be nice if it could still be used for drying settings, but it doesn’t seem to be.

You should be able to dry TPU 90A in the AMS HT or/and print at the same time.
