Are there future plans to add some kind of heating element to the AMS so it can dry filament when you’re not printing? It also seems like pre-warming the filaments on the spool would reduce the temperature shift the filament experiences when it reaches the nozzle?

Hi @kfsone,
A solution is available since 28/06:
It isn’t official, but the designer has a solid reputation (Hydra designer) recognised by the Bambu Lab team. The project seems robust, and I would only advise caution if you’re not experienced with DIY stuff and are comfortable with the AMS setup.

Oh, that’s a rehousing of the AMS unit? Very interesting. If (awh, c’mon: when 
) I get a second unit I’ll be willing to try this out on the first.
I agree.
I also thought about a second unit just because of this design. It almost wholly fulfils my wishlist (I would like a lower cost). It is still new, so it is not fair to do a cost assessment, as the kits are sold out, and I am unsure how I can get the playmaker heater without the dry box, at least in the EU.
At a time when the fuzz is about a new gen of printers, the @humebeam solution seems perfect, ensuring that current AMS owners will have the option to upgrade their system.

Yes the downside is the PolyDryers are a bit difficult to get hold of at the moment.
