I completely love my Python AMS and I'm really glad I went ahead with the upgrade. There's something cathartic about watching those gears turn. I've printed the upgrade parts to 1.02, but haven't gone through the upgrade yet.
That's awesome. I have had a really good experience with the python so far. The RFID upgrade is nice to have for when I do run my bambu filament, and it's nice to have all aspects supported. The gear system has worked really good, no issues with spools low on filament. I had some extrusion / retraction issues when the spools got down to 200 or so grams or less. Thanks for the support!
I've been contemplating getting the Python AMS. When I saw the title of this video I got excited because I thought you were going to review the Python usage, comparing it to the Bambu AMS, etc. Could you please do a full review of the Python? I need help deciding. Thanks!
@Chad.The.Flornadian Hey! Thanks for the support. I actually did a more in depth video with the first version, on my page and a link at the beginning of this video. I have really enjoyed the python so far. I had some issues with filament retraction on the standard AMS and the gear driven system has been an improvement. I have also really liked being able to run a much larger range of filaments and not having to worry about them fitting either radius or width in the standard AMS. Really comes down to that, what kinds of spools/filament are you using?
Any thoughts on best colors for the parts? In terms of maintenance, operation, or ease of construction? I’m probably gonna buy the Voxel hardware kit but thinking I’ll need two rolls of PETG to do the plastic pieces.
Petg is the way to go. Black is always a easy color. I used Voxels Petg+ HS black (which prints awesome) and bambu's Petg HF in orange to add some highlight color. Voxels hardware kit is complete and makes thing simple not having to source your own parts. I have seen some very creative color schemes, sky's the limit. California filament has aa great selection of petg colors too.
I'd really love to get one of these for my Mainline Klipper printers. I've been looking into doing AMS from Next Layer with the rabbit carrot feeder setup, but seems so complicated.
@@ThePrintasaurus I'll have to look into the Chameleon, didnt know about that one...also I made a reply on the first video I talked to you on, check it out whent you get a chance.
You probably could source the parts on Bambu labs website and it looks like you would save a little bit. I did this quickly, but it looks like about 300.00 US in parts plus a roll or two of filament. 350.00 is what the standard AMS sells for.
No problem at all with your question! The instructions are on either link I posted makerworld or Printables, if you scroll down they start towards the middle of those pages. There should be a downloadable link to a PDF set of instructions there too!
You could source everything from Bambu under AMS accessories. Saves you about 30-50 bucks compared to buying the AMS unit. I can try and put together a list of what’s needed and post in the description.
I just came across this video. Is there a kit that we can purchase that has everything but the printed parts? I followed the links in the descriptions and couldn't find this info. thanks
So you are only printing the front feeder gears in TPU. I used 15% infill and Gyroid. 3 wall loops, 5 tops, and 3 bottom layers. Is this what you were asking?

@@ThePrintasaurus Sounds good! Just didn't want to do a bunch of parts and realize I couldn't see something important!

Carrot feeder is on my list to try. 3d chameleon is another one.

The extra mmc is a great idea. Added security, fantastic input!
@@ThePrintasaurus Sorry I ment I put a comment on the video when you first got the sovol...lol
Excellent thanks for the hard work. Awesome, can buy the electronics without buying the entire AMS ? Thanks

Sorry for this question. Where is the upgrade instructions. Or Wiki

is there a way to get electronics and feeders ( the motor block) without having to tear apart an AMS ?
You could source everything from Bambu under AMS accessories. Saves you about 30-50 bucks compared to buying the AMS unit. I can try and put together a list of what’s needed and post in the description.
@@ThePrintasaurus would love that!
Question,is the Pyton AMS louder or quieter as the stock Bambu AMS?
It is louder than the standard ams. The TPU gears help a lot, and the enclosure does make it closer to the standard AMS.
I just came across this video. Is there a kit that we can purchase that has everything but the printed parts? I followed the links in the descriptions and couldn't find this info. thanks
Yes if you go on VOXELPLA.com there is a hardware only option if you are in the US.
how % the print in tpu?
So you are only printing the front feeder gears in TPU. I used 15% infill and Gyroid. 3 wall loops, 5 tops, and 3 bottom layers. Is this what you were asking?
@@ThePrintasaurus yes thanks
