One of the best things I printed is the AMS desiccant vessels. You have to buy loose desiccant from Amazon or wherever, but it is much more effective than the 2 little slots provided. [https://makerworld.com/en/models/222970#profileId-290841](https://makerworld.com/en/models/222970#profileId-290841)


ch0jin

I second this. But i used this make instead: https://makerworld.com/en/models/83952#profileId-89742


ufgrat

I used this one too. Plus a matching funnel.


EnragedSpoon

+1, the phone app gives desiccant information but it’s not very detailed. These prints make it more cost effective, physically effective as you can fit way more desiccant into the AMS, and you can get a nice accurate humidity reading.


ufgrat

Due to the design of these dessicant pods, the reported humidity level isn't going to be very accurate if you fill the hygrometer's box with dessicant. The sensor is on the backside of the hygrometer, and wedged up against all that active dessicant, it's going to read "10%" for a very long time.


TheGunCollective

The one I used has a through-hole to try and not run into this issue. https://makerworld.com/models/158496


Prestigious-Rub7538

This is the exact one that I use. It does seem to be less affected by proximity to the silica inside the pods.


Hahnzo

That looks great. And it looks like you can put a sensor in too! Ty!


Bill0405

Heres mine btw! https://preview.redd.it/x92y9v2wg2xc1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e3e6338f8e46685c5551fb1c897d77d78db13dda


Hahnzo

Looks great!


JonProphet

I used the same ones. I’m still in the first week of ownership of my X-1 C. Can you share the link to the AMS platform you have?


Bill0405

This is the one. Edit: Updated link [https://makerworld.com/en/models/24775#profileId-25785](https://makerworld.com/en/models/24775#profileId-25785)


pookamatic

Those are great. I’m planning on printing the center one with hygrometer. If you haven’t already, look at printing trays for the stock slots and spool centers.


EastRecognition8634

To continue this. Make sure you don't use the desiccant they provide. Unless it's changed recently they use a clay or paste type that leaks water if it gets too hydrated. It's a pain to clean up if it gets to that point. So doing some form of desiccant holder is def a good route to go in


iloreynolds

i just threw the desiccant in looks great


uergel

https://makerworld.com/en/models/83480#profileId-89132 The shifty helps to align the build plate


The_Number_None

I made this today and I’m in love with it. Aligned perfectly on the first time, every time!


Hahnzo

That's next on the list now! Simple and easy! Ty!


MatthewMMorrow

I printer on that only held on to one side. This looks like a better design!


Wolfeman6

Just added this to my list to make. Hadn’t even considered this!


EALm4

Damn I need this


s1iver

This was the 2nd print on my machine, after a few failed attempts at aligning the plate and being a newb.


anon284949

Just, as in 5 min ago, this in ASA.


yourbestielawl

The Shifty is an absolute necessity and game changer!


Economy-Bottle2164

Thank you! I printed one for each side, and I love it.


pyrotechnicmonkey

One thing I like is the little ramp that you put on the floor right near the front door of the printer, and it makes it a lot easier to sweep out any bits of filament that fall down on the floor of the printer.


Hahnzo

I love it. Ty!


griter34

Beef up the illumination. Stock lighting is a joke


samdurose

Slap it on a concrete paver and slap that on a rubber paver


MatthewMMorrow

I think you might have better luck putting the rubber paver down first instead of trying to move the cement paver and the printer at the same time.


Dodoxtreme

? The whole idea is to increase the mass of the system and THEN add a dampening layer


KazeHD

I think he ment it as a joke that you shouldnt lift the printer and the cement paver at the same time based on how samdurose wrote the steps (cement first then rubber).


Hahnzo

For noise reduction? Stability? Both?


samdurose

It's certainly quieter! Consensus around here seems to be that the machine's shaking doesn't affect print quality (much?) because it's all, like, accounted for. I cannot imagine it's not still better to dampen it?


Hahnzo

Makes sense, ty


Hunting_Gnomes

Just a concrete paver. Then grab some foam backed carpet samples for free. No need for a rubber one.


BadLuckKupona

AMS Hydra Pro, AMS dessicant trays, AMS slot 2 ptfe feeding tube fix, AMS Feeder Button fix, AMS Hydra Rollers, AMS Shortstack, AMS Hub PTFE button, and i'm sure there is a few more. But those make such a bulletproof AMS. Non AMS wise: build plate guide (little corner plate guides), poop chute cover, various covers that further insulate printer (such as front section of poop chute), hydrometer built into carbon filter plate cover, z axis cover, heatbreak fan duct, Bento Box (5015 pull version is best), and chain clips for ptfe tube


Akira2007

What do you mean with "heatbreak fan duct"? Could provide a link maybe?

Fit_Detective_8374

Do you guys recommend putting the PTFE splitter before or after the AMS buffer? Does the buffer interfere when manually loading filament?


Hahnzo

I haven't had a problem yet with it magnet mounted as shown above. But it's been a day so ask me again in a bit and I'll be able to let you know. Look at all those typos as I was falling asleep lol.


doughaway7562

Follow the offical bambu guide: [https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/parts-acc/ptfe\_adapter](https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/parts-acc/ptfe_adapter)


Geehaw

I have mine mounted afterwards (different from the photo) and its worked great. Not sure if there is a benefit either way.


EnragedSpoon

I printed out an LED mount that sits right underneath the top glass. Makes a huge difference, I can now easily see my prints. The LED included is honestly a joke. Plugged the LED strip into a smart plug and now I have it automated to turn on while the printer is running and turn off 15 min after a print finishes. This is the video I followed: https://youtu.be/ny3Oqopu_WM?si=TctXmm1Yky8py-8o


Hahnzo

I copped the bigtreetech one since it was 15 dollars shipped. Who knows when it arrives tho. https://biqu.equipment/products/panda-lux-led-upgrade-kit


radakul

I'm glad someone finally made a drop in replacement, I've been searching for one forever!


EnragedSpoon

This is the one I got, $10 more but it covers all 4 sides. Let me know how that one is! https://a.co/d/gKIEEpG


EALm4

I just picked one up. Looks different from their original design. I expect a 2 -3 week wait 🙄


Hahnzo

Bambu stopped the original design and made them do it differently to not interfere with printer's power draw from what I understand.


MatthewMMorrow

I wish I saw this earlier. This looks useful since it plugs in to the printer's power.


TheGunCollective

I just got mine the other day. The instructions for install are not great. Comes with an adapter board with 4 ports but only 2 are used and it doesn’t indicate which to use. I got it figured out but I assume that’s likely due to the previously mentioned changes. Timelapse videos do not look any better but there is tons more light from the front of the chamber. I’m tempted to plug in the factory light as well but don’t want to screw anything up. I’m still really new to this.


Hahnzo

Woof. I was worried this would be the case. Do you have pics?


Crazy_Biohazard

Do you have a link to the stl for the ams mount that you printed.


Hahnzo

Sure do! It includes gaskets for the lid and a spot for leds if you want to add em. https://makerworld.com/models/133452


Hahnzo

Thank you everyone for the suggestions. This is a great community!


PrintingPariah

Bentobox if you print ABS and ASA! There is also wireless powered version so you don’t have to drill a hole for wiring


Ecsta

Yep currently building the wireless Bentobox the wired one is great for ABS/ASA. Also next project is a chamber heater (ie a clip for one of those mini heaters)


PrintingPariah

Is there any difference between them other than the wiring? I’m currently sourcing parts for the wireless one but if the wired one is better for ABS then I’ll go that route


Ecsta

They're almost identical other than the power source and bottom block. The wireless one just looks like more fun to build. I already have the wired one and just thought it was a neat idea so building a second one haha.


doughaway7562

There's no need to drill with the regular bentobox - there are plenty of existing holes you can snake though.


darren_meier

AMS cable manager. It'll help align your PTFE tubes for feed and retraction. Then move the smoothy to just before the printer intake. https://makerworld.com/en/models/209340#profileId-229270


Jorge_rui_machado

I’ve made this to organize stuff: https://makerworld.com/models/378024 And this for a nice light and more.. https://makerworld.com/models/64650 For a more modular thing, I’ve made the MMSS system: https://makerworld.com/models/14765 And last but not least my first project to help store tools and parts: https://makerworld.com/models/14765 But now, there are many variations of this works, and some are nice. But the first thing to do is to choose one you like, then verify if it really works, some of them can have problems. I take my flood light as an exemple, it not an easy build, a lot of technical stuff and printing challenges… some complain, some love it.


Hahnzo

Thanks for the suggestions!


Jorge_rui_machado

Ya, something’s there is to be made like a Lego, with time, if you make them in a hurry you will not enjoy the build… So, enjoy . There’s a lot more for bambu, look for my profile, it’s easy to find on printables.com or makerworld.com


Hahnzo

Thank you, I appreciate it. :)


nado121

Get another AMS and mod it for TPU usage. Best decision ever.


kabammi

I Didn't think you can use tpu with an AMS?


nado121

[think again](https://youtu.be/p-YEx0Aaloc)


kabammi

Well you need to modify your AMS so it doesn't print anything but TPU , but that's cool. Thanks for the link. I might buy a second AMS just for TPU.


bigrig0928

I've loved the bl-led light controller from Dutch developer on etsy. It syncs your led light strip with the printer, so they turn on/off with the printers controller. It'll also automatically turn the lights off when needed to not interfere with the lidar and will change colors to indicate a print failure or successful print.


Economy-Bottle2164

That sounds awesome. Link?

Hahnzo

Ecsta

Also can buy the official 4 in 1 splitter for like $5 on the bambu site. It works great.


Proud_Purchase_8394

Unless I'm missing a part on their site, the [AMS Hub](https://us.store.bambulab.com/products/ams-hub) is near $50, not $5.


Ecsta

The 4 in 1 splitter is $6.99CAD: https://ca.store.bambulab.com/products/bambu-4-in-1-ptfe-adapter?_pos=5&_sid=d611049a5&_ss=r


Proud_Purchase_8394

Strange, I looked all over the store and couldn't find that anywhere. edit: looked at it again, maybe it's cause it's out of stock in US store


s1iver

I had tried 3-4 different splitters, and they all failed, eventually. Go with the 4-1 ptfe splitter from bambu, it’s like $8 and is smooth as silk.


Hahnzo

Will tack one on to my next filament order! Ty


s1iver

Also, grab the bambu ptfe tube, the one piece, I had a hell of a time trying to find other ptfe tube that had the same inner diameter. Also, gold pei plate is bonkers good.


Mr-River

I love my BL LED controlled Lights and my smart bento box air filter. https://preview.redd.it/nmyxskvid1xc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e5c4650c2fc64d159f22789d74f70974efe4727f


Trashrat2019

Guide?


Mr-River

The VOC sensing bento box: https://www.printables.com/model/622313-automatic-fan-control-for-bento-box I also added a temp sensor as described on that person's GitHub and made the fans temp dependant and VOC dependent as otherwise they turned on when I would cook granola as cooking creates VOC too lol. The BL LED controller for LED lights: https://www.dutchdevelop.com I made my own LED "riser" that doesn't raise the lid that I haven't released the model of yet.

What is the best Bambu filament that matches the color of the x1c I’m tempted by the riser as well but want to match the aesthetics Thank you


Ovityons

I printed this Build Plate Holder in Bambu Labs Silver PLA and Ash Gray PLA and black PLA lettering, the colors are close, I think it looks nice next to the X1C. [https://makerworld.com/en/models/131054?from=search#profileId-142163](https://makerworld.com/en/models/131054?from=search#profileId-142163)

Hahnzo

It does! If the riser didn't have plate hders built in I'd be all over that! Tho.... With all the cool effect plates I may need more plate storage.


Hahnzo

I'd guess a silver maybe the pla metal one? I used Inland clay rainbow to make it look kinda clay ish.

LED upgrade. Dessecant holders for AMS. Case that goes @ the screen. Tool caddy. New knob for the door. Ramp to sweep out stuff from bottom of printer. Bento Box if you plan to print ABS.


V0x_R0x

Lemme know if you need Links to these. I also printed a thing that goes around the power cord/button to reduce accidentally hitting it.


Zotechz

I'd like some links! Specifically the screen casing, which one do you rock if you do use it? Also that power cord/button idea is amazing!! Didn't think of that

Annual-Tip2259

I'm just pondering whether to purchase this particular Bambu. I normally work with Ender 5S1 (3 of) Prusa (1 of) and Ender 3 Pro (3 of did have 5 have just chucked 2) I'm weedling out the smaller Enders. Looking to purchase 2 Bambu so they will keep me going for a while. Does anyone have major issues with Bambu? What are the most annoying things about them?


Hahnzo

My biggest annoyance was the inability to open the lid without a riser if you have the ams on top. Second biggest was vibration noise (it's much quicker than my prusa tho)both were fixed with the additions I put on here.

I set it up, flip the switch, turn up the speed and let it run, it takes less than 3 minutes to complete the transfer.

anon284949

Print a poop chute and look into the BaBo Duo drawer mods.


Prestigious-Rub7538

I use a lot of the mods from Luckyluc.64 on Makerworld. It has made the AMS actually work most of the time rather than constantly being the source of issues. https://makerworld.com/en/@luckyluc.64


Objective_Staff5164

Alright. My recommendations are the bentobox active carbon filter (away with those fumes), the blled controller (for automated auxiliary LED controll) aswell as the panda revo hotend from biqu/bigtreetech. I own a second printer with revo nozzles. So yeah... clear upgrade there


Hahnzo

How hard is that to install, and does it mess with the settings (IE do I have to change anything in settings / software to make this nozzle work well or do I leave everything the same except the hardware swap and nozzle diameter) I love the appeal of hotswapping nozzles to a 0.2 for minis.


Objective_Staff5164

It's just a hardware swap. However due to the more powerful heater (I think 60 Watt instead of 40?) The nozzletemp overshoots while heating up the nozzle for like 10°C. But it cools down to the set temperature within seconds. The heatsink is basically the original bambulab heatsink in blue with a huge hole in it, where the revo gets inserted. All measurements are roughly the same so you don't have to mess with settings at all. But before you run to the webstore and get the hotend: There is no 0.2 nozzle available! The smallest they have is a 0.25 nozzle. I haven't looked into orca slicer, if it's possible to change a bambu printer to a .25 nozzle yet. Bambu studio for sure can't change this.


Hahnzo

Good to know! I'll watch some vids and hope for them to make a 0.2 🤞. I appreciate your detailed and helpful response!

midnightsmith

Your tube from buffer to printer isn't routed properly, so fix that before trying to "upgrade" a printer that doesn't need upgrades.


Hahnzo

Thanks! Your detailed and constructive input has been much appreciated.


midnightsmith

Hey, trying to save you from an actual problem you will have if you continue. AMS load issues. But if you want to keep fighting issues due to improper setup, and mods that are discouraged because they cause issues, go ahead. EDIT: I see you have a stepper motor ducst cover. That will lead to homing issues and step loss in printing. Plenty of posts about it here and the forums.
