I can confirm that eSun Luminous Blue PLA 1.75mm will work in the AMS. It smelled really, really horrible when printing… almost a skunky smell mixed with almost a burnt plastic smell. I was kinda worried that it was going to foul up everything, but it ended up turning out pretty good.
IMPORTANT NOTE: I was told on the discord server that glow-in-the-dark filament should not be used in the AMS. Apparently the partials in the filament that make it glow can be pretty hard on the gears/tubes/etc in the AMS… worse than wood fill. So, if you’re going to use this this stuff (and it is kinda fun stuff to print with) don’t use the AMS.
Is it possible to add a brand, or have other with a field that can be type written? I wanted to offer feedback for Yxpolyer -Amazon reference B09Y8JC9LB ( I can’t post links yet).
This is a boon, unfortunately I found this after buying some pla+ from anycubic. It’s been an absolute pain in the ass
Wont feed into the extruder, wont retract, but only inconsistently and so far only for multicolor jobs (i just want red lettering on this gray container clearly too much to ask for)
But anyway, thanks for sharing this and I’ll be using it going forward before buying any other filament
I also had issues with duramic PLA but that couldve been wet filament too, was too annoyed to bother after the 8th failure or so
Yeah, I sure appreciate that someone has put this list together, unfortunately, I have almost 20 spools of PolyTerra PLA that are cardboard… Also several older Overture cardboard spools as well. Wonder why the cardboard spools don’t work. Guess I’ll have to devise a way to make them feed right because I just got 3 AMSs LOL…
Also used a friend’s Bambu yesterday and the RFID feature is really nice considering the spools don’t cost any more with it. Too bad you can’t buy re-codable RFID spools for when you reload with a non-bambu refill…
Cardboard spools do work but are abresive enough that tiny pieces come off and could clog up the AMS. There are solutions for this. I’ve seen 3D prints that you can attach to the cardboard spools that allow them to spin in the AMS easily. You could also put electrical tape along the edge or the cardboard spool. Check this out for more details. Polymaker cardboard spools.
Would love it if this was an option! I have several rolls of exotic filaments that aren’t Bambu and I don’t have enough AMS slots so each time I print with one of those rolls I have to set it manually again. It could totally be a sticker that you slap to the side of the other-brand spools.
I do agree! Being able to create your own RFID with the filament presets would be awesome!
However, replacing RFID with a “sticker”. (QRCode etc) would require a hardware change as they are two different technologies. RFID uses radio frequency (RF in RFID) and sticker would need the addition of a camera. Also, to write to the RFID an additional hardware might also be required unless the current AMS/printer has write ability and not just read.
I was thinking sticker like shampoo bottles all used to have. Just a paper sticker with the RFID on the backside.
If they could be programmed from a computer with some sort of close proximity transmitter (set the sticker on it to program) then all the AMS would need to do is read.
