Having received my replacement A1 combo a couple of weeks ago I am trying to get back into the swing of 3D printing and realising how much I have forgotten whilst I have been printer less
Up to now I have always used Bambu Labs filament so have not had to worry about defining the type of filament as the RFID on the reel and AMS have sorted it out. I wanted to try PETG, having always printed with PLA, and as Bambu Labs is/was out of stock I bought some Sunlu PETG filament during the recent Amazon UK prime day. I have printed the adapters needed to get the Sunlu reels to work with the AMS, but not tried printing yet.
I have searched for a step by step guide as to how to define Sunlu PETG within the AMS system so that it will print correctly,(I an at an age where I need hand holding!), but have been unable to find such instructions. I assume that such a guide exists and if so would some kind person please point me in it’s direction by providing a URL.
A separate but related issue is how to update the price of filament within the AMS. So my scenario is that I have 4 Bambu Labs PLA filaments ( 3 PLA Tough and 1 PLA Basic in AMS arm 2)) fitted to the AMS and synchronised within Bambu Studio. Lets assume that all had different prices when purchased because of offers etc. I know how to get to Filament Setting by clicking on the pen like symbol to the right of the name of the filament and can see in the resulting screen the item price (money/kg). As a test I went through each of the AMS reels and tried to set the price to £21 for reel 1, £22 for reel 2, £23 for reel 3 and £24 for reel 4. However the only one that stays set is reel 2 which has the PLA basic. The others reset to the last price put in. So my question is how do I maintain different prices for each reel, if that is required.
Do I have to create different user profiles for each reel? If so I assume that as soon as the AMS syncs that price change is lost? I seem to have a lot of user profiles some which I suspect I have created during my experimentation and some existing ones. How do I delete the user profiles that I do not want.
Also where does the AMS get the initial prices from, it is embedded on the RFID?
A long post for which I apologise. Thanks in anticipation for any assistance.
