The AMS Lite works with the Bambu Lab A1 and A1 mini only. It is not compatible with the X1 or P1 series, which use the enclosed AMS.

Bambu Lab AMS lite

  • Multi-Color/Multi-Material Capability
  • Automatic Filament Backup
  • Improved Spool Compatibility
  • Easy to Maintain
  • RFID Filament Sync

A single AMS Lite prints up to 4 colours or materials in one job. It cannot be chained for more than 4 colours on the A1 series.

Multi-Color 3D Printing For Everyone

AMS lite brings colors to your 3D printed models, opens up a whole new world for your creativity to soar!

Filament Backup

With AMS lite, you can setup automatic filament backup to seamlessly load in new spool when the current spool runs out. Ensures an uninterrupted printing process and also preventing filament waste due to manual spool change.

Improved Spool Compatibility

The spring loaded rotary spool holder grips the spool at the center hole, improving spool compatibility especially for those paper spools.

Easy Maintenance

The simple and exposed design of the AMS lite makes it super easy to work on. Through the translucent shell, user can easily observe the inner operation structure to troubleshoot.

Hassle-Free Support Removal

With AMS lite, Bambu Lab printers can use snap-away support material or dissolvable filament to minimize the pain of removing supports.

Automatic Filament Identification

Bambu Lab filaments use RFID which is read by the AMS to automatically identify and apply the best settings for your material.

The RFID tag is synchronized automatically to Bambu Studio.
