Can you install the AMS Hub upside down?

Bambu Lab X1 Series
1

I’m getting an additional AMS and would like to locate them both on the left side of the printer (as you look at it).

The AMS hub seems to want you to feed expecting the AMS units to be above or on the right of the printer.

Can I install the hub upside down, or should I just use extra long PTFE tubes to loop around to where they need to be?

Thanks

Have seen it placed vertical. Think there was a mounting bracket on printable or thingiverse.

That’s great, thanks!

Doing this may affect your retractions and unloading at the spool because the rollers won’t be able to grip the spool correctly. It may also cause your spools to rub on the lid. I would caution against it, and just run ptfe where you need it to go.

I’m talking about installing the AMS hub upside down … not the AMS :slight_smile:

Oh wow… I completely misread the post! Everything I said still would hold true though, if you did try to mount the AMS sideways or upside down… :rofl: :joy: :upside_down_face:

You can do whatever you want with the Hub or Buffer, mine is not even attached to the printer :

The only requirement is to let few centimètres of PTFE tube on the printer side
