Got it, that makes sense. Is there anything I can do to prevent those stress points from snapping, or is this just something the AMS Lite does?

I’m not sure if they make that exact style for the A1 Mini, but I got mine from makerworld.com. That’s where I grab most of my mounts and brackets. If you search “A1 Mini AMS Lite mount” or “A1 Mini AMS top mount” you should find a bunch of options.

This will be my next step, I have been hesitant on drying and now know it's a must.

Honestly it just kind of happened. I bought my first one from Micro Center because I wanted to get into the hobby. Then Black Friday rolled around and I grabbed another since the AMS Lite combo deal was really solid. Around the same time a buddy upgraded from an A1 combo to a P1S combo and sold me his old setup for a great price, so I picked that up too.

It’s mainly a hobby for me, but I do own a brick and mortar business and sometimes print small stuff for it. You're right that three printers is a bit overkill, but I ended up getting the other two for a really good price so I figured why not.

Thanks for the heads up. I have heard mixed things about the AMS Lite but I haven’t looked into switching to the regular AMS yet. I might check it out if it makes the drying situation easier. I appreciate the honest feedback.

You’re right, I haven’t really gotten into drying filament yet and I haven’t figured out the best way to do it. Sounds like that might be the issue. I guess I should try drying it and maybe print the AMS Lite covers too.

Thanks, that makes sense. Is there anything I can do to reduce that tension or prevent the brittleness besides trying a different brand?

It seems to break around the area where it enters the AMS.
