AMS HT with X1C and 4 x AMS

Bambu Lab AMS AMS HT

I have a X1C with 4 x AMS running.
Is it possible to add an AMS HD when available?

Hello @Panda63 -

Yes and no - Yes you will be able to use the the AMS HT with your X1C, no you cannot “add” to the 4 you already have, the X1C allows for up to 4 AMS’ (this includes the HT) to be connected at a time.

Note: I suppose you could use the AMS HT in manual feed with the bypass outlet, I don’t know why you would, but it does have that capability. Personally, I’d go the Polydryer route.

"AMS HT compatibility with X1 and P1 printers will be added through an OTA update by the end of April.

If only connecting one AMS HT to a X or P series printer, a filament buffer is required to be purchased separately. If connecting multiple AMS HT units,we recommend that you purchase an AMS Hub."

I didn’t want to start a new thread with basically the same question with slightly different details.

I have 4 AMS/AMS2 Pro connected to my X1C, all slots full with my standard filament loadout. I’d like to add 1 or 2 AMS HT to use as available open slots for rarely-used filaments and also for occasionally drying a single spool without emptying out an AMS2 Pro. Can I add one of those 4-in-1 connectors to one of the ports on my hub, and feed 1 AMS2 Pro and 1 or 2 AMS HT into it? The earlier answer was “no” but I’m hoping that subsequent firmware updates might permit this. Yes the external manual spool is a possibility but I’d like to automate the process.

This is a great question that I too am looking for an answer.
In looking at all the info from Bambu Labs WiKi and general specs etc, it’s not entirely clear if it’s possible to hook-up 4 AMS 2 pros to the X1c and 1,2,3,4 or more extra AMS HTs. The marketing info on the main page for the AMS HT clearly states “Serial connect up to 4 AMS 2 Pro & 8 AMS HT, total of 24 filaments”. but to which printers? Other info in the WiKi and scattered about says the X1c supports 4 x AMS systems max. I already have an eSunLite on the manual feed port and would like to replace this with a couple AMS HTs to help with the automated, mechanical feeding and of course the drying function and also for the filaments that are not AMS Pro 2 compatible or just general quick change-outs. It would be very handy to see Bambu Labs offer some better detailed configuration charts explaining these installations more clearly and I’m also hoping that subsequent firmware updates might permit this type of configuration on the X1c.
