Filament not recognised correctly in the AMS

Hello,

I replaced one spool in the AMS with another (none of them are original Bambulab), but the new filament was not fed in, although strangely enough the LED was green. In any case, a piece of the old one had broken off and was stuck in the distribution hose in the AMS.
After I solved this problem (I could only loosen one of the two screws that secure the inner part in the AMS with great difficulty because the head was rounded, and I only secured it with the other one, and it would actually work without any screws), I reinserted the spools and reinserted the filament, without paying attention to the order of the spools as they were previously inserted.
I was unable to do this – I don’t really know how to get the printer to recognise the colours correctly, so at the moment, when I print something, I don’t select the colour displayed in BambuStudio, but rather the order in which the spool with the desired colour is positioned.
How should I proceed? I must have known how to do it before, because they were displayed correctly before I removed them.

Kind regards,
ProApe

In short, without Bambu Lab RFID filament there is no automatic recognition of any kind. With non-Bambu Lab filament, everything must be configured manually. Go to the Device tab in Studio, edit the filament, and adjust the color and, if necessary, the type and other settings.

Hi @proape

I got lost in the problem description.
I understood you had a broken filament within the AMS, so you troubleshooted, solved it, but then something happened with the screws, I guess during the assembly process? Can you explain better what failed during the reassembly?

Regarding the AMS filament arrangement, you´ve two options:

  1. Update the order in the printer or Bambu Studio to match the current arrangement;
  2. Physically rearrange them in the AMS to match the previous arrangement;

The issue with the screws is unimportant, as it has been resolved. The only remaining issue is that the filaments are not displayed correctly.
Simply arranging the filaments as before is not the right way to go and will not achieve the desired result, as I have replaced one colour with another.
Tomorrow (it is now midnight here in Western Europe), I will try to arrange them correctly in the Bamboo Studio settings, as described in an earlier post.
