SOLVED: printable AMS Desiccant boxes don’t allow the AMS lid to close

Hi there, I figured I’d share this here since it’s come up 4 times for users who’ve printed the SPILLPROOF AMA Desiccant Boxes, reporting that they can’t close their AMS lid after inserting them.

So far all of the users whom have reported this issue have had the same thing happen: the AMS works fine but the assembly wasn’t seated all the way down in the cabinet. Luckily it is a quick fix: you simply open up the AMS in the same way you’d do so to replace the PTFE tubes, removing a couple of screws, take the assembly out, and drop it back down - ensuring it sits all the way to the bottom.

Here is the official Bambu Lab tutorial video how to open up the AMS assembly: https://youtu.be/23vWDT5QiFM?si=e6aiiCMcpXQd4FmC

Hope this helps someone, so far these instructions have been the fix for everyone with the issue. Thanks!
