Greeting
Quick one here as it relates to all versions of the AMS, it’s printer independent. I’ve been able to reproduce this error with the last 10+ spools of refill and it’s happening regardless of the filament type. Does not impact the rear spool holder. Refill spool placed correctly on the notch, two halves seated properly. Load the filament and guaranteed that the filament will be pulled to the side of the spool and jam between the spool holder and the spool. This is super annoying when monitoring a print remotely with no way of fixing the issue. It’s gotten to the point that I only buy filament already on the spool to avoid this issue. Anyone else have this problem? Anyone have a solution that works? I have tried a few DIY solutions from Maker World already with limited success.
10 huh!?
Can’t say I’ve had such bad luck, and have gone through 4 this past week.
The AMS should have nothing to do with the filament stuck between itself and the spool. I’ve had this on a few spools that worked themselves out as printinmg, and when I’ve messed up when twisting one half onto the other. Often if you don’t evenly get the spool half down before pressing and spinning you can get it trapped.
Have you done the “massage” to gently eliminate the side gaps once you click the spool together? I found the few refills I’ve used off BL are a bit looser than I am used to and see there is a few spacers popping up in Makerworld to counter this gap. I had one pull to the side before, I made sure the first pull is guided from the centre when I load up if that helps.

The good old massage. I have not tried but I will. I really like the idea of the refills. Concur that some of those refill spools are pretty loose.
Yes. 10. I bought a bunch during the last sale. I have 5 bambu filament eaters going nearly 24/7.
Sorry, not surprised by amount used, surprised you had 10 that pinched.
I’ve gone through 4-5 refills using Bambu spools and the Bambu printable spool, have had this issue.
You’re taking the tape off after locking the spool right?
You mean the clear plastic bands? Yes.

I am too. The refills are really cheap so I like getting the. Don’t want an office full of bambu spool frisbees. Was thinking about reapooling them to make tighter. But potentially loosing the RFID, which is pretty handy to have. For now I’m gonna try and manually tighten a new refill after it’s been put on.
