In the world of 3D printing, maintaining dry filament is crucial for achieving high-quality prints, especially in humid environments. The Sunlu AMS Heater offers an innovative solution for Bambu Lab AMS1 users by transforming the standard AMS unit into a dedicated filament dehydrator. This upgrade allows for simultaneous storage, drying, and printing with up to four spools, making it a game-changer for enthusiasts working with moisture-sensitive materials like PLA, ABS, TPU, PA, and PC.
Key Features and Performance
The Sunlu AMS Heater kit replaces the original AMS1 cap with a heating module, enabling the system to reach up to 70°C in just 20 minutes – ideal for most 3D printing polymers. It features intelligent temperature control based on humidity levels, along with triple overheating protection for safety. Users can dry filaments independently of printing sessions or even continuously during prints, a capability not available in the standard AMS. Preset modes for various materials simplify the process, and the noise level remains reasonable at 41-44 dB from one meter away.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Fast heating, smart humidity-based management, material-specific presets, and the ability to dry while printing.
- Cons: Lacks independent compartments for individual spools (uniform heating only), dim screen visibility, a less airtight cap without a locking mechanism, and a relatively high price point (though promotions can make it more affordable).
Overall, this accessory is particularly beneficial for AMS1 owners dealing with technical polymers in damp conditions, though it's not essential if you already have a dedicated dehydrator.
