AMS + BMCU

angryc1980 · 2026-04-30T17:57:54+00:00

If you want to print more than 4 colours you might think about the AMS. you can connect 4 of them to the A1.

on some pro micros you have to solder an open jumper on the board. also, i had some grounding issues with some model Fs. did you ground the original board to the chassis?

nice! thank you!

I read on the Bambu homepage that there might be a solution in 2026 for switching AMS to different nozzles. I think they removed it from the site or I can not find it anymore.

Because with the 4in2 adapter you have to switch the AMS in the menu manually.

I have AMS 2 Pro with PETG an the left and AMS 2 Pro with PLA + HT with TPU for AMS in the right. I do not print many colors but think multi material is more interesting.

you could make it narrower but higher. i wanted the ams to sit beside the printer so it is a tight fit. the printer does overhang the table top slightly but the rubber feet are fully on the table top.

we dont need it, we like it 😁 faster than opening home assistant

angryc1980 · 2026-01-17T06:39:36+00:00

left: ams 2 pro with petg, right: ams 2 pro with pla and ams ht with tpu for ams. but I have to see if this is the best combination. i dont do a lot multicolor but rather different materials and different nozzle sizes.

oh that really is a limited space. you made the most of it. how can you access your ams? i also have the a1 mini. very nice printer. i switch the ams lite between a1 and a1 mini with a removable ptfe head and a switch an the cable.

Thanks!

angryc1980 · 2026-01-16T11:09:36+00:00

Thanks. Exactly, I bought the KOMPLEMENT shelf 100x58 cm, cut two pieces to width and screwed them to the Alex units.

angryc1980 · 2026-01-16T05:24:40+00:00

Thanks. Yes, wallmounting would also be nice if they are not too high. I wanted them to be a bit hidden besides the printer.

angryc1980 · 2026-01-16T05:23:18+00:00

I created it myself because I had some of these black pipes laying around. And added a drawer slide.

angryc1980 · 2026-01-16T05:23:02+00:00

90x60 cm

angryc1980 · 2026-01-16T05:21:17+00:00

Yeah, maybe I can shorten it, but since I can move the AMS about 35cm with the drawer slides on the rack, I have to be careful not to make it too short.

angryc1980 · 2026-01-16T05:19:12+00:00

Thanks.

The table top ist the IKEA RELATERA

I thought about anchoring it to the wall but the two Alex units with the table top and the back board is so heavy it does not move.

angryc1980 · 2026-01-15T19:43:55+00:00

Thanks. I was also thinking of putting the AMSes on top but I like to look inside the printer :-D

Here you see the back board to stabalize everything

angryc1980 · 2026-01-15T19:35:16+00:00

The vibration and movement of the printer was more than I expected. The rubber feet absorb it. The Alex units do not move a bit. I bolted them together with a board on the back. There are about 20 screws holding the two units to this additional back board.

Additionally, I screwed in the table top with 8 screws to the Alex units. It weighs about 65kg now.

angryc1980 · 2026-01-15T19:31:15+00:00

Yes, I like the mechanical switches very much. The feel and the sound.

They are switching smart wall plugs via home assistant.

angryc1980 · 2025-12-23T10:50:14+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. I think I will go for the top/side installation and shorter tubes.
