HOT And HUMID means bad news for filament, having the Bambu Lab AMS helps a lot to keep your filament protected, but there isn't much space in there for desiccant. How about we fix that in this video, and while we're at it, we're also going to find a way to make the fix universal so it doesn't only work in one condition.

I'm very happy with the X1C as well as the AMS, they've really opened up a whole new world of 3D printing options. There are however some little adjustments that can be made to make the system better. One being the way that it keeps filament dry. Those two small packets are not easy to get to, I always forget they're there and I'm not sure how much they're really doing, since my desiccant gauge was always showing that I needed to add more. So in this video we're going to use some cool design techniques to see if we can't come up with something that will keep everything Bone dry for as long as possible.
While we're at it, we can also help to weigh down some of those spools which are nearly empty to keep them in good contact with the AMS spool rollers.

In your video, you said you didn't think the front desiccant trays would have enough 'drying power', but you didn't try it out. I tried it. I printed the three trays and at first I didn't fill 'm up. I just used the standard holes in the back with the supplied satchels of desiccant. I printed the front center tray just for holding the hygrometer which I got off of Amazon. I tried them first against two different hygrometers in my room (around 45% humidity, 20C) and it showed around 30% inside the AMS. I let that sit there for a few days (I had to wait for my kilo of desiccant anyway) and the humidity and temp remained stable. Then I filled up the left and right front trays with desiccant and within a couple of hours humidity dropped to 20% and it's still there. So I guess both solutions perform roughly the same, yours a bit better.

@klave8511 Месяц назад

I made 3 for the front, my humidity in the AMS is 12%. Outside is between 40% and 60%. I’ve had to change my desiccant after about 3 months. The exposed are is much more that the ends of the round containers in a spool and exposed are is what absorbs water.

@monkeywrench1951 9 месяцев назад

The desiccant bottles that go in the spools also helps keep non-bambu spools from jumping as you are about to finish the filament. Other spools are lighter than the balbu ones and tend to jump when there isn’t much weight from the filament left.

@NeedItMakeIt 9 месяцев назад

I can see that being a problem for the paper spools, a full spool isn't really a problem but as they become nearly empty it's not good, a spring system from the top with a roller would be a good idea and would accommodate all spools.. except for the smallest ones which the Hydra system would allow. Great point though. My issue with those is that they only fit one brand. I wanted something a bit more universal. I think that I would not recommend printing my design from black, sometimes I forget they're inside and oops, there is a broken lid as it falls out. I'm also using black colored spools, so maybe something brighter would be good.

@kb3ayo581 Год назад

Great idea, I to was sticking packs in various places. The one thing that made me switch was that the rolls movement agitates the beads. The print turned out perfect. The only thing I did different was after the bottom layers were printed, I moved the speed up to ludicrous. Printed perfectly in PETG. Since performing this upgrade my humidity dropped from 40 to 30 and still going.

@NeedItMakeIt Год назад

You and me both, and those bags or pads really don't look to professional, maybe most people don't care, but the printer and AMS look great until those are jammed in the front. I don't know about you, but it is super humid here in Ontario Canada right now, it's a must. I guess as it cools down, we'll see less of a problem. How fast can you run your printer? I've not had a chance to experiment much with it in that way. I will say that it seems to handle PETG like it's child's play. I wonder if the faster speeds help to prevent some of the issues with stringing we'd see with the Enders.

@kb3ayo581 Год назад

kb3ayo581 Humidity has continued to drop and is now down to 25%. I live in Baltimore and so it gets very humid here as well. I mostly used normal mode, especially if I want a perfect print. After a lot of searching found standard mode is A= 10000/mms2, v=250mm/s, sport = 20000/mms2, v= 250mm/2 and ludicrous ?.Your print is really the first time I've used ludicrous since the movements are less jerky in vase mode. Worked great!

@roncon3174 Месяц назад

I like these! Funny print story ... I first printed in PLA as I didn't have PETG yet. Print was fine, no issues. I still had to order desiccant beads. Got delayed, finally ordered the beads, and got some PETG in the meantime. I go to print them in PETG, and I have four failures in a row! The attached side kept easily detaching! I said to myself, "I'm going back to the vid to see if I'm doing something wrong". Sure enough, I forgot to add the .3mm to each line width as you said needed to be done in the vid. I apparently did it with the PLA print, but forgot about it in the interim. Oh well lesson learned, I saved the project with the added line widths this time, so it won't matter if I forget again! ;-) I have two printed in PETG successfully now, and printing another two as I write this.

I live in Colorado. In the winter it is so dry that I run a steam humidifier to get my house’s ambient humidity UP to what you’re getting your AMS down to. In Colorado, life is a desiccant! 😂 But yeah my 4 AMSs sit at about 10% to 15% RH in winter lol.

@AlainPilon Год назад

Using dessicant will not dry the filament. It will remove the moisture from the air and prevent them from getting moist. But to actually dry the filament, you need to heat it.

@NeedItMakeIt Год назад

From what I've read, that's right, it bonds to the filament chemically.

@rcrdps8144 9 месяцев назад

While not as good as heat drying, it does dry it somewhat: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-eqQRN9TUw08.htmlsi=CenZgCU8vR5TvJeV&t=724

From the title I also thought this video was about additional tools for active drying. But the model is still awesome.

@church493 5 месяцев назад

Desiccant in dry, not yet absorbed lot of moisture state, is like large volume of air that is much dryer. By time moisture level (of air vs desiccant) equalizes, and water vapor from air gets absorbed by desiccant, drying air. If resulting air around filament moisture level is much dryer then that of filament, then it equalizes too, and filament gets dried a bit. At very slow pace though, even more so, that this process is not accelerated by higher temps as in dryer, and/or with fans. Also, if desiccant has already absorbed lot of moisture, it might go even opposite way, with equalizing in enclosed space by time moisture level evening out from "wet desiccant" to "dry spools". So technically, while main function of desiccant might be more to retain current wetness/dryness level, it still can dry filament too. Just that in too relatively inefficient/slow pace, to rely just on that or to replace active heating dryers with desiccant boxes. Even more so, if one frequently puts in/takes out in AMS spools as they get used up, on each opening letting wetter ambient air in, replacing dried out (during day or two) air in AMS.

@CGreciful 4 месяца назад

Yup. This is what we’ve being doing for years in the semiconductor industry with our plastics. Even dry storage needs a yearly bake. Moisture is ruthless on Earth. I use all passive methods too, but you really need to add energy to literally drive moisture away. Diffusion just ain’t gonna cut it with H2O, but it does buy you time. What’s most important too is ensuring your dry boxes are actually hermetic.

@robbyg3989 Год назад

Hey great idea, works really well from your testing!

@NeedItMakeIt Год назад

I'm at fully bars now! having the desiccant roll around in there exposes it nicely when your printing, and with the color changing one I use it's easy to tell when it's saturated. I think Bambu should probably update that menu a bit, why is that symbol so tiny?!

@jerrygrimes8813 Месяц назад

I've printed a WHOLE bunch of these, with the larger flanges, for all of my spools (40+ now). I print them in clear PETG so I can easily see the desiccant color. This has probably consumed nearly a whole spool of filament! The Sunlu spools especially have a bigger core, so I also created some ventilated spacers for a bit more radial stability. I tried simply enlarging the design in X and Y, but the interference fit became unreliable. After chasing beads around my workshop when one popped open at the wrong moment, I decided to stay with the original and just add spacers. (I printed the spacers in ABS for max heat resistance, and they don't need to be transparent.)

The last time I had my printers ay up in the air and I couldn't see and I dropped it, it hit the floor and the lid broke, but that was it, a bit of the gel beads spilled out.

@Schnapsbrennor 8 месяцев назад

Don't wonder about the Tube looking like the top lid is on. Activate spiral vase and slice and the solid cylinder will turn into a tube without a lid. However I only manage to get the holes on the side, that point upwards. The one pointing downwards are not printed properly with pla. From the upright "ring" that starts each level the next line starts to squiggle as expected, but the slicer doesn't understand, that the ventilation needs to be drastically ramped up, get the PLA hard in mid air. So when the nozzle comes back above the "ring" the still soft PLA leans against that "ring" effectlivly closing the hole.

Your uploaded stl of the universal spool desiccant holder includes the lid in the body despite having a separate lid stl.

There is something wrong here. I added 4 similarly designed tubes for silica desiccant inside a HUGE filament box (it can fit around 24-30 rolls). I installed a filament sensor with a bracket so that the sensor opening was facing inside the box, sealed the edges of the bracket and I achieve around 10% humidity after a couple of hours. Are there many openings in the AMS?

@NeedItMakeIt 5 месяцев назад

Are you familiar with convective loops?

@TORQ-1 5 месяцев назад

@@NeedItMakeIt yes assuming you mean the heat source coming from the chamber of the printer. Though more prominent in a larger volume (the space) with bigger change in temperature in this "insulated" ams system from the heat source.. either way its not like a large soup pot (large change in temp), or like the cold ocean with the atmosphere (large change in temp relative to space). Something like that, if anything a convective loop helps with the air flow.

@NeedItMakeIt 5 месяцев назад

@@TORQ-1 Sure you can have that; there are also motors and electronics within the AMS itself. However even without any active heat source convective loops exist everywhere with the exception of a vacuum, small scale or large scale. A practical small scale example is the need to insulate our wall cavities to avoid convection. The point is that if there is far more area available for air to circulate around the containers, the movement of the cylinders will expose the surface of dryer beads to the AMS. The beads themselves absorb moisture into their surface and it makes sense to have them move around as much as possible. The also happen to act as a spool weight.

@IronMan-yg4qw Год назад

great idea! it would help if the rolls the filament was on had holes too to help with desiccant air flow.

@NeedItMakeIt Год назад

Yeah, the Bambu spools seem to have lots of holes, though not through the center. I kind of wish the AMS doubled as a dryer, but they've done such a good job engineering the entire system that I think they have done it this way intentionally. Soften plastics, cooling motors etc. I guess just keep them dry and you're good.

It's a bit simpler to start by drying a large batch, after that it seems better to leave them contained and dry on occasion with a spool.

So, just for a rookie. If dessicant only remove air moisture ¿is using only heat certain previous and during printing time enough to keep air and filament with low moisture avoiding filament humidity print issues ? Or whats really the dessicant point? Thanks

@TheUpl8te 6 месяцев назад

Nice Design! I noticed you are using cardboard spools in your AMS. Any issues?

@NeedItMakeIt 6 месяцев назад

Thanks! I didn't have any issues, but they did leave a residue on the rollers, I ended up using the last bit of those spools up and I'm onto plastic ones, it's probably better this way. I was using Prusament for a little bit, except those spools are too tight, now I use Bambu filament and the quality seems pretty good.

@NeedItMakeIt 9 месяцев назад

Nice, the P1S is a good printer, I've seen several prints that rival my best prints on the X1C. I'd actually like to have a P1S myself. I rarely print with CF filament, the AMS is nice to have of course.

When I slice the Universal Internal Spool Desiccant Holder, it is closed at the top. Am I doing something wrong? I have a Bambu Lab printer. Found that I have to do the following: To print this, use Vase Mode (Spiral) Change line widths from 0.4 to 0.7, increase by 0.3mm to each width setting Use 6 bottoms, this makes sure that the vase has a good connection to the top or bottom. But I don't know what to do with change line widths from 0.4 to 0.7, increase by 0.3mm. I found Line width Default and changed it to 0.7, but where do I fill in the 0.3? (Just have my printer for a few weeks, so sorry if it is a stupid question)

@Schnapsbrennor 8 месяцев назад

You have all kinds of widths and they are not all .4mm. Change all of them +.3. So for example .4 becomes .7... .42 becomes .72... and so on.

Hey, please point me in the right direction to learn more about the modeling you did to create the 'louvres'. I tried browsing your channel but couldn't find any other reference to it.

@NeedItMakeIt 7 месяцев назад

This was a new one for me as well. This only works with Vase mode printing. I created a cylinder to begin with, and then I created a small cone shape to intersect it and patterned it around the larger cylinder. The rule with vase mode is that anything horizontal will not be printed, with the bottoms or tops of the cones horizontal, they're open and it gives that cool look as well as the flow. I hope that helps, let me know if you need more info.

Cardboard spool?

@NeedItMakeIt Месяц назад

They're not supposed to be used inside the AMS, but I've done it a few times without trouble. Even Creality's new spools for their own system are cardboard, but they've sealed the edges so they can I suppose grip better. I don't have a K2, so I can't say for certain, but it does work well inside the AMS.

I liked the others only because I mentioned them in the video. I'd recommend printing in a color that's not similar to your spools, it's easier to tell that they're in there. A few times, I've not noticed them inside of a black spool, and they've come out and hit the floor pretty hard.

Would the desiccant break down over time and create dust? Jw.

@NeedItMakeIt 7 месяцев назад

It depends on what you use. If you're using the beads, they're supposed to only last a few cycles, but I've had mine for a long time and, yes there are some that are very tiny (low quality maybe) but for the most part they seem to last a very long time and many heating cycles. I have some ideas for a most cost effective solution for anyone that I'm working on and I think it will perform better... but there is that downside of dust and dusty filament could be bad news. I don't know if it is a big problem, it's hard to say without testing dusty filament for a long time, and the type of dust as well.

@optikn3rv827 7 месяцев назад

what did u print it in and what was that white mess on your build plate?

@NeedItMakeIt 7 месяцев назад

This was printed in ASA, but you can use ABS/PETG also works, it really depends on how you want to dry the desiccant. The mess is just glue stick, these prints didn't need it, but most of my prints are heavy duty and will warp. PETG doesn't seem to do it much, but PLA and ABS are pretty bad for nearly solid parts.

@objectivegiant804 9 месяцев назад

The critical flaw with this design is when you (absentmindedly) pull the cylinder out of the spool by the "solid" end and the lid lip catches the spool and comes loose... (don't ask me how I know) 😅

@denniscrabtree8006 10 месяцев назад

When you download the files the top is already on and I cannot separate it for printing. In addition the top shows to be solid with no through holes. Solidworks does not play well with stl files so there is nothing I could do. Great idea, but not executable.

@NeedItMakeIt 10 месяцев назад

I just had a look, and the stl files are two separate files, however if you bring them into the slicer at the same time, you'll have the option to combine them / group them. Try bringing them in individually and you should have success. The model is solid like this in order to make VASE mode work correctly, if you adjust the settings to what is shown in the video, you will be able to make it work. The extrusion width is changed to 0.7 from 0.4 for example. The amount of bottom layers is also important here, I believe it is at least 5, if not 6 bottoms. Let me know if you need any more assistance.

@Schnapsbrennor 8 месяцев назад

There are two separate files, but befor you enter Spiral Vase mode the "Body.stl" looks all closed up at both ends. The lid is not on, but the tube is closed at then end regardless, because the whole tube is filled (it's a cylinder, not a tube). @@NeedItMakeIt

@NeedItMakeIt 8 месяцев назад

@@Schnapsbrennor That's right, to make this work for you, you'll need to change to Vase mode, or Spiralize outer contour. This will auto-hollow the shape. It's certainly a different way of 3d printing and it's not too intuitive. Make sure to use the settings in the video or in the printables/makerworld link these are important to make sure it is strong. I can also recommend using a color rather than black. I have a lot of black spools and they blend in, better to make them something a bit brighter. Hope that helps.

@speway 8 месяцев назад

Im on my 5th attempt at printing this successfully. It only prints well with infills. I'm referring to the spool holder. Any suggestions?

@NeedItMakeIt 8 месяцев назад

You should be able to print spiral with a 0.4mm nozzle, by adjusting the line width from 0.45 to 0.75, if the bottom or tops don't connect well it will be due to the amount of bottoms, you need at least 6 if I remember correctly. That's pretty well it. I don't know how it would turn out with infill but let me know and I am happy to help. One other note, best to print it in a color that doesn't match your spools... I found this out the hard way when I was removing a spool and it fell out on me... lesson learned.

@NeedItMakeIt 11 месяцев назад

@@zakpack That's right, for some filaments you can use the Bambu filament settings, like PETG and ASA/ABS, however for PLA, if you're not using 'fast-printing' PLA, you could run into some major problems extruding at those speeds. I've had very good results by assigning non-Bambu filaments as Bambu in order to trick the software to provide better results, and it has worked nicely except for Overture PLA.
