I’ll take it! Just print it and feed your TPU through that instead of the external spool holder. Or quick swap between AMS incompatible filaments while the lite still holds and dispenses them for you
@@KeoPrints Well ... I don't have an AMS, so it won't help me. I would just like to have an idea of what I watched :) Showing it in action would probably have cleared that up for me.
The winner of the passive aggressive comment! 🤣 You certainly were a lot more polite in making your point than a lot of people would have been. I had to rewatch it and finally found the key sentence at 3:41 that unlocked the functional mystery for me. "so I set off to make a mod that would allow you to load the AMS light like you normally would using the spindle system move one Bowden tube into a new fitting and use a pass through" @KeoPrints Thanks for sharing your solution. Like @ZappyOh I don't have an AMS Lite either but I still watched because I was interested in your solution and the process.
@KeoPrints the short is super helpful in understanding the final design and purpose of the project. If anyone is new to the video, I suggest watching the short first and then you can watch the design process.
The main mod I have done for my AMS lite for the A1 Mini was specifically he Ultimate Filament Spool Enclosure for the AMS lite that allows me to add desiccant to reduce the humidity. I live in TN and it’s normal for humidity to be 50% even in the house. This allows me not worry about PETG absorption of water affecting my prints it keeps humidity for spools below 10% which is the lowest my hydrometer measures.
I've been struggling with screwing in those pesky PFTE tube metal fitting too - until I finally spent the time creating a proper thread for them. Now the fittings screw in nicely everywhere, I can really recommend investing the time once and re-using the know-how after that for other projects. Not sure if you have selectable standard thread sizes available in your CAD, but for the PC4-M10 inserts I use a hole with 8,38mm Ø and cut a M10x1 thread into the remaining material/wall. After that I cut out the >70° overhanging threads with a simple rectangle. Designing a teardrop each time is too bothersome imo and a tiny bridge works equally well.
I realize that it didn’t come across very well in the video now but thanks for the extra reminder friend. Have a look here where I attempt to right my unforgivable wrong and let me know what you think. Have you come across anything like this?

That’s a good question and I was wondering if anyone was going to bring that up. As far as I’m aware, it doesn’t come stock with a hardened setup so that is totally a consideration
I’m on their site and the replacement they sell says hardened steel, but I’ve seen people say you should upgrade. Big tree and a few others appear to make all metal extruder gears for not but I don’t know much more than that yet
Sorry after double checking it’s not a hardened steel nozzle but a stainless steel nozzle, but the extruder is hardened so you would just to get the nozzle which list for $11.99 in US
I made me to the end, but it was a painful 10 minutes. Full of fillers, and no actual mod mechanic shown and no explanation of what you actually did. Edit: the cherry on the top is that the link to the model on Thangs is not there, or maybe you deleted it? !!
So basically, I forgot to make the model public when I uploaded it to Thangs! My bad on that but thanks for bringing it to my attention because im a fool. Here is a follow up short that you may have missed from the description because I was unclear in explaining the setup in the video ua-cam.com/users/shortsCB9O5jykvdc?feature=share As for the pain watching the video, I have no solution for that but I appreciate you hanging out!
After watching 10+ minutes, I still don't know exactly what this mod does or how it works.
That is kinda impressive.

Good to know. I’ve never even looked into that so that’s cool to know that people are providing some support for the AMS lite

Good stuff here
My favorite part is where you showed the functional part at the end and what it does..... Oh wait.... Nevermind

Does the A1 mini have tha hardened steel extruded gear in the head already or do I need to buy the upgrade?
@@Kid_illithid the A1 mini list hardened steel nozzle and hardened extruder so it should work without any issue.

That’s not so bad then
Threads are so easy in onshape.
How do you do threads? I’ve used the thread tool as well as sweeping a sketch but I know there are a few ways to accomplish it
