Alternative Automatic Rewinding Rotary Spool Holder for AMS lite
Automatic Rewinding AMS lite Spool Holder, Replaces Original
Please take your time to read the entire page, thank you!
I strongly recommend bookmarking this model; you may find it invaluable with your AMS lite.
Why would I need this model if I already own the original accessories?
1.Should the original rotary shaft become damaged, you can easily print a replacement without impacting your AMS lite's functionality.
2.This model offers optional Claw and Threaded bushings in various sizes to accommodate most filament spools (no longer limited to a 53-58mm diameter).
3.Its cost is remarkably low, less than half the price of a single original claw bushing (Bambu Lab, please don't mind).
4.While maintaining original functionality, you can customize the color scheme to enhance your AMS lite's aesthetic appeal.

Slicing Software Information:
Bambu Studio 1.9.0 Public beta (Recommended)
【Due to review submission issues with the 1.9.0 public beta configuration, I temporarily reverted to 1.8.4.51】
Detailed Installation Instructions:
See below
Special Instructions:
Due to the necessity of adapting to the green and orange base axes on the AMS lite, the corresponding print configurations are also green and orange. The 3mf file includes color configurations, and the shaft cover is labeled with letters—avoid errors.
Letter and Color Correspondence on the Shaft Cover:
G = Green shaft = 1,3 slot
O = Orange shaft = 2,4 slot
Model part aesthetics may change with updates; images are for reference only.
The model's functionality relies on filament friction and resilience; performance may vary with different filaments. The main components determining the rewind angle are the bottom circular cover of the central shaft and the resistance ring. The test model used PolyLite (logo color) for printing and testing.
A 3-blade resistance ring typically provides satisfactory results. Suitable resistance is achieved when the spiral ring of the Inner bushing is fully compressed before the resistance ring begins to rotate.
For insufficient resistance, use a resistance ring with more blades.
For excessive resistance, trim the resistance blades.
Newly printed components exhibit higher resistance; manual rotation is recommended for break-in before use.
Avoid using excessively smooth or brittle filaments (standard PLA is suitable).
Optional Components:
Small Claw bushing (43-53mm)
Medium Claw bushing (53-63mm) - [Included in the Base kit]
Large Claw bushing (63-80mm)
Threaded bushing (35-80mm) - [recommended Compatible with all spool sizes (common sizes)recommended]
3-blade resistance ring - [Included in the Base kit]
6-blade resistance ring for orange shaft
6-blade resistance ring for green shaft
Potential Issues:
Impact on Print Quality:
Testing revealed no significant impact; the rewind function can be manually disabled if desired.
Burden on AMS lite and Extruder:
The extruder's tension is substantial; the added stress from the rewinding spool holder should be negligible (considering the spool radius's torque amplification effect). In my tests, the AMS lite functioned normally.
Disabling the Rewind Feature:
Press your thumb against the shaft cover and pull the Claw or Threaded bushing outward by 10mm (a protective buckle prevents slippage)
Adjusting the Rewind Angle:
Adjust the resistance as described in the special instructions.
Filament Spool Installation and Replacement:
Install the spool before inserting it into the AMS lite (recommended), or install directly.
Model Removal:
See image below
Known Issues:
1.Minor noise during operation.
2.Increased spatial requirements; 23mm longer than the original shaft.
3.Resistance diminishes over time due to smoothing; rewind angle may decrease.
4.Claw bushings may fit tightly on spools at the lower size limit, requiring force to install.
Installation Instructions:
Important: Note the shaft color. Before installation, insert the central shaft into the Inner bushing to check for smooth rotation; address any irregularities or apply petroleum jelly to ensure smooth rotation (warping during central shaft printing may cause stuttering).
Important: Step 8 requires rotation to align the bottom buckle!
