RFID Filament Sticker (Which Side)

Does it matter which side the Bambu RFID sticker goes on the Bambu spool?

It does matter as there are only 2 RFID boards in the AMS. Slot 1 and 3 need to see the tags on the right and slot 2,4 need the tag on the left side of the spool. This is why the Bambu RFID tags are on both side of the spool so it doesn’t matter what slot they are in.

For reference here is the wiki article for replacing the main frame in the AMS which includes the 2 RFID boards.

So does this mean I should be getting two RFID tags per filament roll I order from Bambu, because if this is the case Im NOT. I just receive 1 RFID sticker per roll.

The sticker? The clear sticker that comes with the refill replacements isn’t the RFID tag. The RFID tag is on the carboard spool center and protrudes on either side of it.

It can be seen here right above where the red arrow points.
