Howdy mates!!!
Sweden here, very, very happy to join you mates in the forum.
Total noob/newbie so I am filled to the brim with questions before my X1CC arrives
Can I start by setting it up without the AMS when it arrives and thus only one roll of filament?
Should I choose something special in the setup software if so, and is that easily reverted when I add the AMS on?
Also I嫉m trying to read up on filaments, I am most interested in printing with PetG so I want to order a few rolls of that and also PLA+, from what I understand from here is eSUN the best choice of brand?
(Bambu Labs filaments is out of stock everytime I check the page, but at least for now I want a substitute that makes best possible printouts thus I turn to you experienced forum mates)
UPDATE; My printer has crossed over this side of the border! WOHOOO I simply cant wait⌠tenting next to the mailbox until my precious arrives It will be my first time seeing a 3D printer up close
Really there is no worries regarding âexternal usage of one spool of filamentâ versus âputting an AMS in place at some pointâ.
Youâll be fine whatever you do.
You can plug the AMS anytime.
You can alternate usages.
You can use AMS with only one spool or several ones.
and so on.
A few recommandations however :
if you plan to switch often between âexternal spoolâ and âusage of AMSâ, you should consider putting in place a âY-SPLITTERâ like this one : Bambu Y splitter with pneumatic connectors
If you plan to use several AMS later in the future, you may consider buying and putting in place the AMS HUB from the beginning (just to avoid extra PTFE tubes re-connections in the future) : Bambu Lab AMS Hub | Bambu Lab EU This is the only thing that need to be bought in order to put in place a second (third, fourth) AMS (by replacing the âfilament bufferâ smaller device packaged with each AMS)
Regarding spool of filaments, you should refer to that GOOGLE SHEET containing a matrix of compatibilities with AMS and various manufacturers of filaments (many ones are not compatible with the AMS - cardboard, or too wide - and should be avoided, except if you are ready to ârefillâ the filament in an empty spool (4 are provided with the AMS).
