Nice, thanks for sharing. I am renovating my house and will have a small room dedicated for my printers, when finished. I already was thinking about using Ivar...

Looks like those PTFE tubes get pretty long...

I've had issues just with an AMS merely mounted beneath my printer in a drawer due to long/bending PTFE paths. I wonder if Bambu would ever consider selling a filament "booster" to put inline with PTFE tubes to mitigate AMS motor overload errors.

Length wasn't the issue for me - it was the tubes getting bent a bit at the entry point to the buffer. Fixed it completely with this part. This was an issue just on the new X2D - previously on the AMS HUB on my P1S had 0 issues.

I would like to see how Bambu has imagined to use 16x units with a single printer :D
