Best method to access 5 spools with AMS

Apologies, for clarification, do you mean to shove 5 tubes into the 4 tube holes on the print head?

That one is possible-ish.

You could use these.

This is designed to allow you to route up to 4 things into 1 thing.

How you achieve the result.

  • Attach a small amount of new PTFE tube to ONE of the existing FOUR holes in the A1 series print head.
  • Attach the single outlet of the 4-in-1 adapter to the newly installed PTFE tube.
  • Hook up 3 of 4 of the AMS lite PTFE tubes to the remaining FOUR holes in the print head.
  • Hook up the 4th of 4 of the AMS lite PTFE tubes to one of the 4-in-1 adapter holes.
  • Hook up the external Spool to one of the three remaining holes in the 4-in-1 adapter.

This will let your AMS flow into the printer with the same ease it always has.

You will need to manually push the external filament into the external PTFE tube each time you need it, but, you will not need to uncouple anything.
