Is anyone using this adapter?
I want a good solution for feeding a non-AMS filament when needed. They mention you can add up to 3 more filaments in addition to the 4 located in the AMS.
How would that work? The instructions on the product page are a bit vague.
Thanks for any suggestions or instructions.
yeah i use it, however i don’t use the three additional slots, only 1, as i usually only have one external spool at a time, but you need to remove the filament from the part the channels join as to not cause issues.
i have just a section of ptfe tube added to that adapter and then i load directly from the filament dryer when i need to use it
edit/ this is just a nicer version of the y design that’s available in a lot of sites, and two entries is more than enough for me, i just like this design better 
Thanks a lot! One more dumb question:
So, when you finish printing form the dryer, you cut the filament and manually retract it?
well you hit unload on the printer and it does the cutting, then you just need to pull it back and roll that section back into the spool
Excellent! I ordered one!
I have one, it is possible to use it as an AMS hub.
When used between the inlet to the printer and the hub, it is a convenient tool.
You would attach PTFE tubes to each of the holes you use and then feed your filament in when used, and retract when not in use.
At £5, it is an easy grab even if you only use it to simplify inserting a single external spool.
The Wiki info is useful.
another question on this. on the 4-port side of the adapter, the inputs are very small. IF NEEDED, CAN the PTFE tube be removed from the 4-port side, by pushing in on the black insert part? does this loosen the teeth that hold the PTFE tube? I just received one, and it looks like it is almost impossible to depress the black inserts on that side of the adapter.
It does release. But it is rather fiddly.
I printed a ‘tool’ that is sort of a clamp that aids in squeezing a single tube release, found it on MW.
Is anyone having issues with this adapter not working properly. I installed it as the instructions show on my x1c, and I can feed filament through one of the bottom two ports but not the upper ports at the moment.
