AMS Lite Feeder cable extention

Bambu Lab AMS AMS lite
1

Hello. Im trying to turn one of my ams lite into a system like the OG ams. I would like to retain the rfid since I only use bambu filament. To retain that I would need feeder wire extensions. Does anyone know what connector they are and if so where to get extensions?

A quick search here finds many similar threads, here is one.

Edit: I think I know what you mean now that I think of it but here is a mount that requires no extra cables except maybe the ones I linked to above.

I think you nailed it, at least far closer than I was!

Here is a picture. Not looking for the actual ams lite extension but just the feeders.

I see what you were talking about now. I was thinking that might have been what you were after. I don’t know of any longer pre-made cables but those would be easy enough to modify by cutting ONE AT A TIME, in the center and add 2 feet or 3 feet or whatever you need of the same stranded copper AWG wire. Don’t use that CCA (copper clad aluminum) stuff.Put heat shrink tubing on the wires and solder the two ends and finish up with the heat shrink. Doing them one at a time will guarantee no mistakes on swapping the wires by accident.

Thanks. Looking around atm for what the connector name is. I want to be able to put together a parts list for this so I can be a big project that many people can build. Extending wires manually isn’t something everyone wants to do nor can do. I want to make it as simple as buying all hardware and printed parts.

I may end up doing what you said as a start. Thanks.

I don’t even see that Bambu Labs even sells a spare cable like the one you want longer. I was going to suggest you buy one of those to make it easier to practice modding one or to send it off to a place that could make them for you. I even looked at the main board they plug into and without actually taking one apart I am not even sure if both cables are the same on the ends but I assume they are. Good luck.

Edit: Just looked at the WIKI and those look like some more complicated cables to make than I originally thought. Looks like a tough problem to solve if you ask me. :neutral_face:
