Help Needed . Loading filament without AMS

[JochenZ]

Hi there,

I have no clue to load filament without my AMS. I have disconnected the PETG Tube from the AMS directly and try to supply TPU filament via this tube, then comes a grey thing, then another tube, then a grey connector and the the 3d printer.

I put filament as long I want via the both tubes, but the filament sensor does not recognise the filament.

Help is greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Bambu has a wiki page on how to do this.

Here one see all the tubes and connectors.
I mean, this must be a simple task…

I stuck at this step. How can I remove all the stuff on my p1s to reach this state…?

[JonRaymond]

Push the blue clip in to remove the connector or the white clip on the other side to remove the ptfe tube coming from the buffer.

Thanks a lot for your help. I have now removed the connector and supplied the tpu filament directly. The p1s loading process doesn’t match to the p1p tutorial. Do you know if there is a tutorial for p1s?

Thanks a lot again for your help. Found this page already and was for me a bit confusing, since p1p and xe1 was used. Finally it worked.

You may want to look at a Y splitter to use so you don’t need to disconnect anything, it makes life easier overall. This is definitely one of the more popular out there: The Smoothy - PTFE Bowden Y Connector by JDJDJD - MakerWorld
