About this 3D model
I update, revise and improve my design for my fixes very often. Please only use my Print Profile (Labelled as Designer or SPStudio) to ensure this fix is updated & work well. Profile with Non-Designer tags may be of poor functionality or non updated model. Click on Like if this model helped you in some way. It is very important and will help increase the exposure of this design to more people who might need it. Cheers! Announcement New and Improved V2 Versions for the Ams Buffer Fix Before Buffer and After Buffer have just been released. Do check them out in my profile to see what are the improvement. Thank you for your continuous support. Introduction Failed to pull back filament error can be caused by multiple different variables & factors. This is a part of an series of Ams fixes that i have designed which can complement each other when used together. I do suggest you install all my fixes together for the 0ptimal effect to help your filament travel properly across the entire system which in turn can help improve, reduce or remove any potential Ams errors. I have grouped all fixes into their respective Collection for ease of searching what to install. V2 Collection are improvements done on the shortcoming of V1 Collection. Feel free to try V2 Collection and if it doesn't work properly then you can try the V1 Collection . You can easily find each of the Collection by clicking on the Collections tab on my profile. Unfortunately there isn't a single fix that can 100% work for everyone. What works for others, may not work for you but my fixes is definately a great place to start and have worked for majority of the users. My fixes are precisely measured then modelled. A Proper Fix would have the highest chance to reduce or solve the error. If you are too bored to read the entire lengthy write up explaining the need for this fix, here is the TL:DR. What is this? V2 Ams Buffer Fix For Failed To Pull Back Filament Retraction Fix will correct and maintain a nearly 100% straight line to move the filament into the Ams buffer thus reducing wear on the external Ptfe tube. Its design allow the most smooth, least amount of friction and pressure for the proper angle to go into the Ams buffer thus greatly reducing the possibility of an Failed To Retract Filament error or similar errors from popping up. Main difference with the previous model Ams Buffer Fix For Failed To Pull Back Filament Error Completely New Design, Improved model from the hugely successful V1 that have over 9000 downloads! ez Install with Installation video below No additional screws needed at all but yet still well supported with a very clever design using the connector itself to lock the fix in place Will not affect your warranty as it's reversible V2 maintains the same accuracy of the original V1 version. Precise measurement to maintain the angle of the Ptfe Tube to achieve reduced friction of filament moving through Helps reduce the Ptfe wear and tear ez to remove support This fix have been tested for on 1 X1C, 2 P1S, 4 X1E for about 54800 retractions so far as of this listing. You can either get the screw version V1 or the no screw version V2. Both is as accurate but V2 is easier to install requiring no additional screws. Feel free to continue using the V1 as there are no accuracy improvement on the V2 if V1 already worked for you. V2 is intended for people who is looking for their 1st fix for the left side of the Ams buffer or people who have trouble finding the screws needed in V1 or simply for new users who want the simple install. Important There are 2 versions of Ams 6 pins Wire Head so if you can then use an caliper to measure before you download the print profile closest to the dimension of the one that you have. If i am not wrong, the original cable should be 10.10mm to 10.20mm, download the 10.One version If you brought the extended cable to place your Ams further away then it should be the 10.60mm to 10.70mm, download the 10.Six version You can measure your connector Before you download and print this fix if you get something that is way out of the range like maybe 9.90mm or 10.80 then please contact me or write in the comments. If possible please do not use the wrong version as the connector need to be rather firmly tucked into the fix. It cannot be loose when the connector is in it because the fix uses the 2 connector to stabilize itself. If you are having problem on both version then check your filament calibration and K Factor. I am running the default K Factor of 0.020. As this fix is very precise down to 0.1mm so there are not much room to change the connector hole size as it needed to be firm and snug, Who needs this fix? I believe that anyone with a Ams would benefit from this fix / enhancement regardless of do you have any problem or errors with the Ams / Printer. This will allow your Ptfe tube to be nearly 100% straight (laser and manually measured) when it entered the Ams Buffer buffer. In theory, there are only advantages and
