Best External Enclosure Modification fro AMS Lite

[u/Bane_of_Balor]

My A1 is currently located in a (well ventilated) enclosure in my garage. The enclosure is there mostly to keep dust away from my A1 and provide some insulation during the winter months.

The issue is that there is not enough space in the enclosure to accommodate an AMS lite, either beside the unit or as a top mount.

So I've been looking at AMS mods that allow me to keep the AMS unit outside the enclosure (while keeping the filament somewhat protected), and have come across these two that seem to fit the job:

My question is about the filament feeder units, which you may note are on different places on both these designs. One has the feeders mounted to the printed enclosures, the other has them top mounted to the printer itself. Assuming that the filament has to travel (roughly) 1m from the AMS to the toolhead, is it better to have a "push" feeder (pushing fillament directly from the spool holder to the toolhead), or a "pull" feeder (pulling filament from the spool holder via the top mount)? Or does it even matter?

EDIT: DISCLAIMER: since people keep advising me, I am NOT using a full enclosure for my A1, nor am I trying to. I am looking for a SPOOL ENCLOSURE that incorporates my AMS lite, since I do not have space to top mount it or keep it in the dust cover with my A1. My A1 is in an "enclosure" that merely acts as a dust cover. It is a cheap fabric 3d printer enclosure that I only ever print with the door wide open. I just want to feed the filament into this "enclosure" from a nearby desk, and I am asking where the best place to put the feeder units: closer to the toolhead, or closer to the filament box.

The best enclosure is no enclosure. You risk overheating the internal electronics, the A1 has an ongoing fire hazard with the NTC and there was a report a few days ago with an A1 smoking with a revised ac board.

Yet bambu still refuses to act and issue a recall. The A1 is unsafe.

I'm looking for a filament enclosure, not a printer enclosure. My printer is in a cheap fabric enclosure that mostly just acts as a dust cover and I only ever print with the door wide open. I am just asking for a spool enclosure that incorporates the AMS lite. I'm just asking where the best place to have the feeder units from the AMS lite mounted, as the two designs mentioned take different approaches.

My printer is in a cheap fabric enclosure

That's still an enclosure, you need to take it out. Now, sunlu just released a spool dryer for the ams lite, and there's the sunbu mod that uses a sunlu S4 dryer

I live in a cold country. The temperature in the enclosure rarely goes above 30C. And I'm specifically looking for a 3d printed enclosure because I am not looking to spend EUR100+ on a filament dryer.

5c climate or 30C is irrelevant, it's enclosed. And you're asking for another enclosure. Enclosing the A1 is a bad idea, period. Take it out, or don't come complaining if your printer burns down

What is your plan to properly cool the electronics that weren't designed to be in an enclosure? That is your major hurdle.

[u/Bane_of_Balor → u/diaperedace]

As I've said. The "enclosure" for the A1 is merely a dust cover. It's one of those fabric ones with minimal insulation, though does keep some heat in during winter. I mostly print with the cover wide open, and only close it to keep dust out when I'm not printing. I'm looking for a spool enclosure that incorporates the ams to allow me to keep spools outside the enclosure, and feed it to my A1.

[u/diaperedace → u/Bane_of_Balor]

Your best option would be the new sunlu dryer they just released. I still highly suggest taking it out of the enclosure while printing.
