I'm stoked watching this video! It looks like it could help me tackle the issue of filament moisture,i could even toss some desiccants in there. I've got a FLSUN V400,can I just slice and print these directly?

@@iftibashir thanks! I resist for a while to buy this A1, because I am not sure that it will be a real tool for me and not just a toy which produces other toys, but every day my will becomes weaker and weaker 😜
@@danteinferno6513 Join us! I wasn't even very interested, until I was. I made a big list of functional prints I'd want to make - i.e. bracket so my tower rod stops falling without having to call maintenance (they'll just put a new hole in the wall.)
Thanks for the great video regarding the AMS enclosure. Could you please provide a link for the AMS enclosures with the “window “ on each bucket. I believe thus would be a great enhancement for the buckets. Thanks Richard
It only allows me to provide a link to the item page, which is in the video description. Once on that page check the remixes in the list on the top right - the version with windows is listed ;o)
Thanks! Just about to get the AMS and had been worried about dust and humidity so this looks handy. How do you feel the black clips are going to hold up over time?
I honestly don't see any issues with them. I do not intend to change filament very often TBH so hopefully shouldn't have to open/close too much as I have a Prusa MK4S as well, for which I'm setting up the MMU3 also - will see how they compare as I'm expecting MUCH less filament wastage with the MMU3 setup.....
I didn't want to drill into the wall just yet as I may be moving the printer to another location soon in order to make way for another model...... ;o) O purchased the hygrometers from Amazon : amzn.to/4eNTxlb
Hi, everything is great, very good job👍 Only the spool from Fiberlogy is 84 mm thick and locks when the case is closed. Do if this is not a problem deeper housings.
I am about to order an A1 combo and this enclosure is very interesting. I have not seen anyone trying to use TPU to improve air tightness, how come? Why not use TPU at the edges for example? Or at least for the stand alone part that connects the two larger pieces? I have not studied the parts in detail (yet), but it seems like a good idea to implement some AMS friendly TPU at certain areas? For stand alone parts, just choose TPU where appropriate. For edges, combine that part with PTEG that should have good adhesion. Just my thoughts, not an experienced printer. What are your thoughts?
I tend to load and leave the filament in place, as I have another printer where I load/unload single colour spools - otherwise if you are changing regularly then yes it can become a hassle with the enclosure. The spool removal tool certainly make step process easier though!
Full weight of each part is on the MakerWorld site (link in description). As an approximation I would say just over half a 1KG spool, considering all the larger parts are very thin......
Hello thanks for the instruction video, this mod is very good for the AMS. It would be helpful to post the remix one with window, I cant seems to find it on makerworld
I can't post a link to the remixed model as it's on the same page I've already linked to above. If you visit the page via the link above to go to the Markerworld page, then on the top right its the 4th model down - titled "0.2mm layer, 2 walls, 10% infill, buckets with windows"
There were no modifications - if you follow the link in the description to the model, the version with windows is already available as one of the remixed models ;o)
it's too much of a hassle to unload the filament when you're done with it (takes a couple minutes tops) and store it but it's not too much hassle to print 9-10 plates over the course of a couple days at least, assembly, wall mount, etc which is another day? what?! 😂
I was hoping someone would take one of these ams lites apart and make it more like the ams. Or find a way to trick the a1 into accepting a normal ams. maybe like a swapped board or something
One has air holes that let it read from the outside air so you can see the room's humidity level. The other is sealed inside the enclosure to measure humidity inside, which should be lower thanks to the desiccant.
I have a p1s with 3 ams. This feels like such a hassle to have to open swap, and feed spools. Not my cup of tea but cool it exists for those who went with the cheaper printers.
What a lot of hassle, I live in a high humidity country it takes months for a spool to soak up moisture to a point it's unusable & only 10 hours to dry it this is absolutely a waste of filement, print time & extra time to swap spools totally pointless exercise
Not to mention, some materials are hyper sensitive to exposure. Like PA6-GF, it will be ruined after 5 minutes of exposure. This enclosure is a fantastic solution for A1 users who envy X1 owners with their AMS
Thank God this random youtube guy came along to set us straight!!! If only he had been there to enlighten us before thousands of users downloaded the enclosure and thought it was working for them, and dozens of 3d printing experts made videos and wrote articles praising it and showing its effectiveness.

Thanks for your comment super useful! I especially like how you have no data or research to back up your claim. Why waste your time, my time and everyone else's time with your option that no one asked for?
Very nice video. You answered all the questions the others have not.
@@SolSearcher Thank you. Glad it helped.
It’s a beautiful design. Props to the designer. Nice instructional video as well.
Neat work. I'll print one soon.
Super excited to try this out. My Bambu combo is on the way, should arrive in the new year!
Excellent explanation. Thanks ...
Amazing video, thank you!
What filament do you suggest? PLA or PETG?
@@SolSearcher You can use either. I just used PLA for everything and all works fine. However it’s recommended to use PETG for the clips.
Great ADD
Great Video thank you. What clear material did you use for the viewing windows, and what method did you use to attach them?
I used thin sheets of clear plastic - the type used for laminating paper etc. Just stuck from behind using duct tape, making sure its creates an air tight seal all the way round.
Your print didn’t show you making the one with the windows so I gather you switched to that profile afterwards and added the plastic to the cut outs?
@@tytinn9141 I only made the version with the windows - no other. The version being printed in the video is actually the version with windows (hence the supports).
Awesome video! Can you share what you printed/used to secure the AMS Lite onto the wall? I like that and would love to replicate it for my setup too!
Here you go : makerworld.com/en/models/696051#profileId-669674
That is also my question, what wall mount did you use? @iftibashir
Great video, what kind of wall mount did you use?
can I use it with the ams lite top mount?
Yes will work fine ;o)
Did you use pla to build this?
@@christopherchung4920 yes all PLA
Thank you for the video. Where can I find the remixed buckets with the windows?
Nice
I truly like your version better

PETG is recommended for the clips due to the slight flexibility, but I used PLA for the clips as well - all works fine ;o)
can you share remixed model link with the window?
Its on the maker space page. It is the item in all of the builds
did you saw any difference with the enclosure?
It definitely keeps the humidity down

Yes, just slice and print directly ;o)
@@iftibashir wow, thanks for the reply, I'm going to start printing as soon as possible
Thanks for the advice! Did you print all the pieces with simple PLA or did you use another filament more strong and durable ?
I’ve printed this in pla and Petg. Both have a risk of cracking with such thin, large walls. Be careful!
I just printed all PLA. Came out great, as you can see in the video!

Have you printed the Spool Removal Tool that is linked in the enclosure models description yet?
Yes - makes spool removal MUCH easier!! Insert the tool and the spool literally just slides off!
@@iftibashir Fantastic! Would love if you'd feature that tool in a video. I am the creator of the tool BTW 😁
The spool removal tool is great! I use it every time. Hopefully I boosted you.

sparkle filament.
@@orbit9237 Prusament Galaxy Silver ;o)
Layerlines of .2mm on white/gray or lighter filaments are nearly impossible to see, im always impressed when printing lighter filaments
Why fix it on a wooden panel rather than directly on the wall? Where do you find the hygrometers?

@@iftibashir Hello, thanks again for the video, There is no link in the downloads to create with Windows, do you have a link please?
This is great if you're not changing the filament constantly but if you are this thing is a nightmare

Yes. 1 is outside, one is inside. So you can compare humidity levels and see if your dessicant works
@@DoingthingswithDAN make that “so you can see when your dessicant beads themselves need a drying session” 😉

I live in Southern California. This enclosure keeps the humidity levels at 10%. Spools outside this enclosure tend to get stringy after a week.
