Do you guys think that the stock ptfe tubes for the ams lite will be long enough for me to use this.
I assume you know that Bambu don’t recommend enclosures for A series printers?

Rmedias is correct. You do not want to put any A series printer in an enclosure. Even if you did, the ptfe tubes would not be long enough.

I do have an enclosure around mine…didnt realise it wasn’t best practice until lately…so now been leaving the front unzipped and flapped open when running… I did however see a design by someone on here for a set off fan pipes to give the boards cooling via a fan attached… Ill see if I ca find… But happy I noticed this…

As other people have been saying, enclosures aren’t recommended.
The only reason why Bambu doesn’t like enclosures around their A1 Printers is because there is no internal fan to cool the printers, so it could overheat. I was also about to buy to until I read that from someone.
The other thing to be aware of on the A series, when you print a poop bin or a storage drawer, make sure the add ons don’t cover the ventilation holes in the base.
I guess you could use an enclosure if you printed intake and exhaust ducts for the A1 series bases. Add a fan, should be no issues. But I doubt that BL would support it.
brought two CPU fans for both sides of the A1 series, and a fan to suck out the hot and contaminated air, but my issue is something else,
I have an A1 combo, the ams lite is mounted on top (which reach 70 cm), and this enclosure,
CREALITY Ender Plus 3D Printer Enclosure With Exhaust Fan Interface 750x650x550mm 3D Printer Accessories Fire Retardant(from AliExpress, the system is not allowing me to include links so search for the name)
which height is 75 cm, that I thought would be sufficient space for the PTFE tube, but it is making the filament stuck thus making more pop for the flow dynamic.
Thought about raiser for the center top of Tent Enclosure, but it almost broke the tent, thinking of version 2.
I would like to have suggestions
i have my a1 mini inside an enclosure which is only closed for petg and abs and the ams lite has enough room for the petf tubes
