I had the same idea of putting the dryer under the AMS after i commented on your last video. Die cabels and electronics made me reconsider. Aside of that i designed similar ducts like you but with bigger diameter for less air restriction and because i like to see the world burn i used supports on everything - lol. Anyway I used PLA on purpose but designed the fit just a little bit to small. That way the heated site fomed itself into a perfect fit and the cold side got initially bit of help and later also fitted itself nicely! Thanks fot the inspiration! Amazing!
Yea I see the little vent holes there but I couldn’t find any documentation to confirm that they were explicitly for moisture evacuation so I’m just moving forward under the assumption that the system needs some extra ventilation
@KeoPrints I would have to guess that polymaker thought about this when they designed the polydryer. I wouldn't be worried about it. If people are questioning where the moisture goes then they are questioning how well the polydryer works on its own.
nice project, I just started 3d printing a few months ago and just reacently bought a polydryer with 3 aditional storage boxes, but I found out that those were pretty regular boxes with not much sience, so I also theorized a better way to dry fylament using the polydryer and use the AMS lite at the same time with a little bit of thinkering but I don't think I have time nor motivation for that Now my idea... I'm no expert but as far as I know the only real electronics in an AMS aside from the feeder motor units is the motherboard and cables, if you are so worried about electronic componnents geating up I think it's better to insulate those components as much as possible, I guess it's also posible to relocate them to a place where not much heat passes through
EIBOS 3D will be releasing a BAMBU LABS AMS ADD ON FOR THE STOCK AMS UNIT, HOLD OFF ON MODDING YOUR AMS, RELEASE IS IMMINENT (PENDING BEFORE END OF YEAR) NICK NAMED "PROJECT TETRAS"
It is real cool the community was able to help out and perfect the project. Keep up the good work!
Yeah, now it's great!
I agree. This puppy cooks now
So only the holes in the bottom were needed? No extra holes in the tray or anything to let the hot air up to the spools?

Good work! Way to get out there and give it a shot as well. That’s awesome
The polydryer DOES have vent holes on the sides meant to allow moisture to escape bud. Idk how effective they are but they're there.

Slightly disappointed that Bambu doesn’t sell a replacement for the lower body of the AMS. That would make me a lot less nervous about the mod.
As an individual that has so many holes in his enclosure now; I agree
Quack quack.
Love the video.
Prototype 1, 2, 3, 4, ........ 25. It works!
Always nice to have a victory

Great to hear! Happy you stopped by
Yea we will see how the electronics do in the heat longer term but I’m happy with the progress!
What if you added one more polydryer on the bottom, and two more, one on each side? /just kiddin
You’re on the right track I think. That will be my next follow up video

Yea I saw that. Should be super cool!
