    My one gripe on this design is that all spools are top loaded. The Python with elcousure is 69mm (nice) taller than a stock closed ams and 79mm shorter than an opened ams unit. This makes stacked designs much taller. I wish there was a way to make them front loaded so that the encousers can be mounted ontop one enouther and allow for a shorter overall stack.

    I have a chamber heater in my bambu x1c and a bento box and the max chamber temp is 55C-60C and my PETG Bento Box I bought from VoxelPLA, deformed after a couple ASA prints. I bought it with printed parts, so all the parts are printed from PETG from VoxelPLA. Saying all that, if you do want a heated python AMS, I would recommend printing either in ABS, ASA or a better, more heat resistant filament.

      The temperature is not the single variable here. A bento box is expllicitly made to be in DIRECT contact with high airflow. This is not a similar scenario to the environment that the python parts are seeing in operation.
      The rate of airflow matters for material softening.

    So I did wind up getting this from Voxel PLA with full hardware kit and everything.
    Couple of things to note (Currently assembling the enclosure and will edit with more findings):
    1. They didn't go through and remove all the excess filament from the heat sunk inserts. I still had to do that myself, especially on the top trim pieces.
    2. While they do send a lot of hardware and bag it all separately depending on what you're building it falls short on what's needed. The instructions clearly call for 28 M3x10mm and they send M3x8mm for whatever reason and 0 M3x12mm. I wound up having to source M3x12 for the top because there's no way that the M3x8 will fit through the top rim, acrylic, and the resting lip for the lid and screw in.
    As far as the actual print quality and assembly it's gone really smooth minus the hiccups mentioned above.

    • @voxelpla

      I wanted to quickly chime in. Just last week, we updated the design to the new version 1.0.3 version, which is completely insert-less, making it much easier and faster to assemble. As for the screws you mentioned, the original version required the M3x8mm screws, and the new 1.0.3 version will come with the M3x10mm and M3x12mm screws by default.

    It seems that no one has solved the big issue. Making it easy to open the bottom to clear filament from the feeder. It seems harder to clear the filament because you still need to unscrew it and take it out to be able to get to the bottom of the AMS. Do you think you can ask them to design it with an easy access opening door on the bottom to make it easy to clear the bottom feeder? Thanks

      I've been using mine for about a week now, printing every day. I've had no issues at all. Clearing a length of filament that had snapped (brittle ABS) in one of the feeder ptfe tubes was SO easy since they are easily accessible (I haven't built the enclosure yet). The build is a little fiddly at times, but wasn't difficult, just time consuming. The project felt extremely well designed and thought out. I believe the designer is an engineer by trade if I remember correctly.

    While it may seem Overkill to have four dryers on the unit, it's worth remembering that each dryer was only really intended to dry one spool of filament at a time, and while it may be capable of more, its performance is going to suffer when it's pushed harder, especially with as big a volume as this has

Hmm I've been fortunate haven't had any serious issues with my AMS so this isn't for me but I do like the dryer idea, I wonder if we could just cut some holes on the bottom of the AMS to mount one polydryers too with some feet to balance it, then make/print a modified vented version of hydra to let the heat pass through. 🤔

    My sole concern is the erratic feeding of the spools; at times they function properly, and at other times they do not-the filament simply slips, and there is no movement, only the sound of the feeder gears turning. Despite installing four new feeder units and a new hub motor, the issue persists. It seems to be a problem with the gearing of the large wheel slipping, or perhaps a torque issue. Fortunately, I have retained one of my original AMS units.

      The build is pretty involved but with the 608 bearings and gears used motion is buttery smooth compared to the stock setup. I imagine it will definitely help. While I have used a ton of cardboard spools when they get to the end and are really light I have had issues with them lifting from their slots and not feeding properly. This should completely eliminate that from happening. If I where building from scratch I think I would go without the enclosure just due to me not having moisture issues with what I print but so far I am really enjoying the finished product.

    Buying the hardware kit and the printer parts still requires an AMS to extract additional required parts correct? I want to continue to use my AMS and looking for a cheaper/more versatile solution for 8 color prints. what do you suggest?

    I’m curious if there is anything like Bamboo’s AMS available or in development for Creality’s K1C. I’ve done a cursory search and haven’t found anything worth while.
    My K1C gets delivered on Monday so I’ve been trying to find as many trick mods as possible. Any info will be greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the video.

    I don't know if I just missed it, but why would anyone build a Python when the stock AMS works just fine? You still have to buy the Bambu AMS anyway to make one, so it will cost even more to build a Python than just use the Bambu AMS. There would have to be a pretty big gain to justify the extra cost and labor of making one of these and I'm just not seeing it. There are simpler ways of routing abrasive filament to the machine

I reprinted them so it wasn't a big deal. I have mixed emotions about this mod. I won't order a second one for my new X1C. I think Bambu will come out with an improved AMS soon.

    Since you mentioned them. VoxlePLA’s PETG requires higher temperature (recommended by them) to print (265 vs 245). Does this make it stronger afterwards ? What’s the reason for this difference in temperature ?

      I love their filaments. I run the PETG HS on my X1C @265 - it is much stronger than Bambu lab petg hf, and I think it's because of stronger bonds between the layers partly because of the higher temp and partly because of better chemistry.

    Omg I'm in the middle of making my Python AMS! I'm serial #0046. Currently working on making all of the extruder gears and spool holders out of Bambu PA6-GF Nylon. Though I'm struggling with tuning retractions and getting decent bridging without sacrificing strength. At first I had tuned the filament so good I had prints coming out near perfect at around 265°C, but as soon as I printed the Benchy and picked it up, the smoke stack broke off and I realized that cooling the bridges was ruining the layer adhesion strength and I wasn't printing hot enough. I know this is overkill, but I wanted to make a completely wear resistant system. I'm still printing the frame out of PETG though because there are so many overhangs and I have that tuned perfectly, I just wanted the heavy wear parts to be more durable and dimensionally actuate.
