Tracking Filament

Bambu Lab X1 Series Bambu Lab X1C

Hello all,

I finally got off the pot and my X1C and AMS 2 is on the way. Now it is possible that I should have asked this question in the AMS threads and I apologize if that is the case.

Along with my printer I ordered some replacement parts and about 10 spools of filament. As I understand it if I bought a Bambu spool when I load it into AMS it will know the type, color and amount. So let’s assume I add White PLA and print some spools, and then I remove that spool with half of it gone. When I add that spool back will it know how much filament remains, like is the knowledge specific to that spoil? Or will it now assume it has a full spool of white and I have to watch it to make sure I have enough left?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, but it does this by measuring the rotation rate of the spools, it doesn’t store this information anywhere online. The AMS might have a cache of RFID tags to amount used so when you put it back in it has the right amount, but the RFID tag is not written to.

Thank you Muggles, much appreciated. I am beyond excited for this.
