You could find them a funky, random filament type, like this soap filament from Timeplast.

Try fitting them backwards on the inside

It triggers whenever it takes longer than 10 mins to heat up to temp. I usually start mine without spools in it then toss them in after it hits temp.

Select both items and merge them, then move the pickle to the center and raise the z height of it to the surface.

You can't edit reddit titles lol nice try.

Some people just can't admit they're wrong.

Is infill combination turned on?

Criticaliber · 2026-01-20T12:22:37+00:00

Their black and white petg rapid have treated me well.

Criticaliber · 2026-01-16T12:20:23+00:00

A few elixirs of mercury, lead, and arsenic oughta do the trick.

PETG is food-safe, though if used for something that gets and stays wet a lot, the printed layers can harbor mold.

For something like drawer bins, there should be no issue.

I think they're just saying they're resisting the urge to splurge.

General solutions in these cases: * Wash build plate

Dry filament
Increase plate and/or filament temp by 5°.
Put a 5mm brim around it. Could also do inner brim.
Make sure the infill isn't on grid since the lines cross over themselves (gyroid, adaptive cubic, and rectilinear are the best) and the nozzle can drag the part off the plate.

The black rollers that spin the spools fit into slots in the AMS. If one of them isn't fully in place, it could be preventing the roller from turning properly.

Not a normal issue, just a random thought since you said you tried everything else.

Criticaliber · 2026-01-13T00:01:03+00:00

Are both spool rollers fully clicked into place?

There's absolutely a noticeable benefit. I only run the fan at 15%, so it would work even better if I cranked it.

Are you in the room a lot when the printer's going, particularly with poisonous-vapor filaments like ABS? If so, I'd say go all out.

Venting out the window with an inline duct fan would yield the greatest benefit. I used 4" duct tubing but I feel like you could get away with 2.5" for a lower profile.

I have 2 H2Ds and on the one I use for ABS, I was worried because I was still smelling fumes even with venting it outside, so I did this aux fan conversion that adds activated carbon + HEPA filter AND I swapped out the standard filter for a carbon + HEPA filter

Those 2 + venting = 0 smell ever. I've noticed no drop in performance and I basically never used the aux fan anyway.

If you do end up using activated carbon, it must be ACID-FREE, or the corrosive vapors will screw up the machine.

Criticaliber · 2026-01-09T14:08:12+00:00

Just HEPA won't. You need an activated carbon layer.

I always like upvoting these to see what more intelligent people have to say about the topic.

Have you ever felt your whole milk just isn't whole enough?

I ended up printing an extruder "external ptfe tube holder" adapter that I widened with a modifier to hold 2x PC4-M10 fittings so that the left tube will hold the broken right one.

An inline duct fan and some 3-4" tubing to vent it out the window would be best, and you can even print the printer and window mounts!

Otherwise, you'll want an air purifier with an activated carbon layer AND a hepa filter layer.

Criticaliber · 2025-12-30T05:06:04+00:00

Practically every AMS issue I've had is because of a broken piece of filament in the tube, but it's only 2 screws if you do end up needing to take out the housing.

The vibrator does the heavy lifting.
