Good point, and I’m sure all the ‘smart’ people who will try to load it into FireControl will figure that out… eventually…

Put in the PLA CF today and tried printing some micro dividers for my rigid toolbox orange fastener container . I am absolutely blown away by the quality . The layer lines seem to just melt away with the PLA CF. Ordered a bunch of filament last night from the bambu site. I can see why people end up with multiple printers.
Right at the end though I had an error where it wouldn’t spool filament back up into the AMS it said look for a clogged nozzle so I’m going to have to figure out how to do that.
My wife was only medium interested till a few minutes ago when I showed her these parts now I’m already getting texts of links for thingiverse from her. This machine’s going to be busy.

Be careful with TPU, and any filament with additives (CF, wood, glow in the dark…) in the AMS. Internals don’t like it, and chews up the plastic parts, and tubing…TPU gets stuck.
Glad to see you did nesting inserts for your bins. I did the same with my Durahm parts trays. Put two trays worth of sorted items into 3/4 of one. I used PLA+. Cheaper and more than strong enough at 3 walls for this application.
If you keep making more - TIP - Put a little 1-2 mm round bulge out from the top edge on one side so your fingers can get traction to lift them out.

I ordered a bunch of PETG and got the textured plate. Still trying to understand all the different types of filaments.
Do you have an estimate of the cost per one of those bins plus trays with the filament?
I don’t have an AMS on my machine, but Bambu does not recommend using carbon fiber or any abrasive filament in the AMS.

I suggest looking up parametric rugged boxes.I have plans on making many.
Bambu studio will calculate the cost of the prints for you based on the cost of the roll.You enter in all the information into your filament library.

Keep an eye on that thread!

I see that Bambu lists the TPU as non-compatible with the AMS. I guess if I has a roll I would use the ext. spool slot?
The quality exceeded my expectations
I am not familiar I’ll have to look them up.
get idea.
Me too , what a rabbit hole
1.68 USD it said on the slicer data . I work it out agaisnt the pricing of the filament I just ordered and is was 3.06 CDN
On their site they list PLA CF as AMS compatible. The spools are also RFID so id imagen Bambu studio would throw up a warning if you put non compatible filament in a RFID spool into the AMS. I can definitely see it causing more wear.
Such a beautiful thing.
Here’s the one order I placed yesterday. It wouldn’t let me use Canadian credit cards on the bambusite but it would let me use my PayPal. I think I’m going to order another lot of stuff through my other company in a few days once I get that PayPal set up for that company.
247.99 United States Dollars

That was mean! 
Were you going to make me learn the Bambu software to get the cost? I don’t have the machine…yet! Just thinking about things.

Yes you have to use the external spool slot for tpu.There is a nice print on makerworld to relocate it to the left side.

I want one…really bad. The boss says “No.” I am thinking next December, though.
I have my unit on my office safe current which is on rolls but have the spool and poo shoot on the left would be fantastic, I’ll make a search.

I purchased a bunch of extras things so my order was a little higher than normal. 16.99 per roll instead of 27.99 and shows i get 8 rolls at discounted each month of next 6 months.
Now lets post few things involving metal cutting or improving our tables to keep this forum appropriate.

If @TinWhisperer prints that poop shoot out of plastic instead of bending tin… I might start gathering animals and load them on a big boat!

Maybe a nice TIG welded stainless one.
