I’m in this boat as well. I have a custom filament that I’ve tuned. But getting it to load using the AMS is impossible. Working with filament database between the AMS and the slicer is unbelievable.

/Any sign of this getting fixed anytime soon?
Just seems mad to have the ability to create custom filaments and not able to assign them to the AMS

I absolutely agree. I get the feeling it’s not important for them to support non-Bambu filament.

Also stunned there is no implementation of this feature request yet.
Fix this - do better

Just got my first 3D printer.
I’ve used a lot of software, but wasn’t ready for 3D printer software 
It feels very unfinished and a lot of things are counter intuitive and not user friendly at all.
This specific problem could be solved within a day, if Bambu Lab wanted to fix it.
I’ve created a custom profile and slected a color for this custom profile, just to select a color each time I decide to use this profile. Doesn’t make any sense.
Bambu Studio knows I’m using the AMS Lite but doesn’t sync anything.

This is (now?) possible.
Bambu Studio 1.9.3.50, MacOS
I created a custom filament:
After that, I can choose the custom filament in the Device Tab in the AMS filament setting dropdown.
I’ve found myself in the same boat with you all but I think I’ve found a paddle so to speak (work around).
My current Generic ABS is running low and decided to print some parts with BB ASA, Having loaded the ASA it took me a bit to work out the logic of how to select either one of the filaments.
This is how I’m doing it but if there’s a proper way to do it, I’m all ears and eyes…
My AMS is loaded with the 2 filaments all calibrated. I want 1 and 4, 2 and 3 are just to fool the AMS
Next I now want to print with (Generic ABS) but as long as the Slots are not filled with the same filament type, we’ll get an error message telling you that all the filament must be the same type.
Go back to the (Prepare Window) and tell the AMS that all the Slots are the same Filament, in my case I’ve populated the slots with the Generic ABS.
Next go to Devices select the Filament you want…
This will Pop up…Confirm your choice and it’s associated information.
Print Plate will now proceed without the (warning)…
Or
Now I’m able to jump from and to any slot at will as long as the Slots are all fooled to the same Filament…
The above works as long as you’re not about to run out of filament which would then cause the AMS to jump to a backup Slot, in my example it’d load Slot 4 which is ASA.
This is my work around devised this morning as I needed to have these 2 filaments readily available for parts printing.
It goes without saying that I’m open to any other methods out there as I’ m very new to BB Studio and learning.
This is fixed… in a way…
you have to disconect your printer then rebind it.
your customs filament will appear in the AMS selection tab
The only way I have been able to assign individual AMS slots manually with custom profile filaments I have created (including color) is to use the Bambu Handy App (Android in my case). Works exactly as you would expect it should. Select “Devices” at the bottom of the app page. Tap one of the four AMS slots. Select filament (the list includes the custom filaments I have created). Select color. It now shows up as an AMS option in Orca Slicer (Bambu Studio likely as well?). I wasted way too much time attempting to accomplish this simple task via Orca Slicer…
One issues I found related to this topic is if customized filament profile is not selectable in ams. How does the dynamic calibrations result(K) corresponding to the customized filament profiles?
The the printer only care the profile selected in AMS in regard of dynamic calibrations result(K), and gets all other parameters from the customized filament profile?
I am very confused.
And how do I revert to default PA profile? After I did the manul dynamic calibration, I could only see the PA profile I created without any other options.
There’s another thread titled “[HOW TO] Add custom filaments so you can select them in the AMS” (can’t link directly to it) but as mentioned there, and earlier in this thread, logging out of my account on the printer and rebinding to the printer using the Handy app then allowed me to select my custom filament profile using the touch screen on the printer itself (X1C). I had created the custom profile using Bambu Studio.

cant find that. Using bambulab 1.10.1.50
