So this morning, I was told by support it doesn’t support custom filament. I understand it might not support it being selected from the screen on the A1 possibly, however shouldn’t I be able to select it from Bambu handy? when I add items to the AMS? I can do that with my P1S, I just don’t understand why I cannot create the custom profile in bambu labs and then load a spool on the AMS Lite and select - this is my filament I am loading so it is available to use in bambu handy while I am loading the filament. I have 0 problem with the P1S the profiles are built and working on that printer, I have logged in and out of Bambu Lab application, website, Bambu Handy, logged in and out of the Printer - and the custom filaments don’t show up to be selected in Bambu handy for the Lite AMS in Bambu Handy. Is this normal?
Can anyone load a custom filament to a A1/AMS Lite? ie creating a custom filament with a custom profile ie bed temp/flow rate/etc in Bambu Studio, that is accessable within Bambu Handy (at least on another printer) to select on the AMS Lite when they load a new spool? or am I crazy thinking this should be available as I can do that with my P1S.
Ok, it has been over a year and still no custom filaments are available for the A1 or A1 mini from what I can find. I email support and get - this isn’t available, you must program it in bambu studio and use it from here. Ok that is great and all however to use some of the custom filament I have specific settings and bed temps. So how does that work if I want to kick off a job while standing in front of the printer and/or want to load a different roll of filament?
I think we a community we should have this updated - how many people have purchased a printer and deserve to have this implemented finally on the printer and AMS? I am reading posts from all over the internet well over a year ago with this same issue.
Does anyone know how to add a custom filament that can be seen on the A1 and/or AMS lite? I am guessing the Mini is in the same boat, we have LOTS of different filament types and custom settings that we would like to be able to use - even if it is a 5 degree difference on the bed with X filament, or a Max Volumetric Speed = 10 instead of 15, to get a little better quality on a print. Items that are a simple tweak, being required to do it from a PC every time and manually switch a setting (filament selected) in the application to use this setting. Coming down the road soon we will not even have a choice on what print application we would want to use on the P1S, A1, and A1 mini - and we still cannot choose the custom filament on the A1 and A1 mini?
I know they fixed it on the P1S - please let’s get this fixed on the A1 - how many 10’s of thousands need to be sold before that is updated/fixed?
AMS without ability to automatically select filament ? knife taht can’t cut ?
I got my A1 and AMS lite about a month ago and have been using it with a custom filament profile (Overture PETG Basic). With no issue I could use the Handy app or Bambu Studio to set the preset on the AMS. I even set custom pressure advanced profile from Studio. As of today, I can no longer select custom filaments from Studio, yet they are still available to select in the handy app. If I set them in the handy app then open studio and open the device tab they immediately disappear from the AMS. This means I can no longer tune the PA values or even bed temperatures for custom filaments. I guess this means they lied about being open and are forcing us to user BAMBU only filament?
Did you update firmware? What version are you running? Have you tried to roll back?
