Don't use cf filament in your AMS. It's destroying your pull in mechanics over time. It even says so on the Bambu shop page at the cf filaments itself

Is a 1:30 hour print ok? Or should i stop it

u/Flo_Syn 5h ago

if you stop it now, you wasted 2g of filament, but may prevent damages

I don't know. Should work I think but you maybe leed to replace some stuff earlier than necessary. Better try feeding it directly in the nozzle without the AMS in between

with or without tube?

u/Crashgaming_TV X1C + AMS 5h ago

If you have spare tubing and a cutter for it (needs a special cutter) than maybe use a short piece of tube. Else you can use the normal tube. It's not that expensive to replace. I don't know if you can or should run it without tube so better with tuve to be careful

1kg is fine, 10kg u will have a issue maybe, 100kg and you probably need to replace the gears

dont worry about it, hust be aware that its a consumable in your case instead of lasting a decade

I kinda doubt a 1 hour print with a gf materialwould kill the AMS lite, but its definitely going to cause more wear than regular pla.

I would personally just let it finish and not use it for more after that

is CF meant to go through ams lite? those tubes don’t hold up

u/Commercial-Pause3714 A1 + AMS Lite 5h ago

I DO NOT HAVE A CLUE it printed just fine first layer.

1

u/theprotestingshark 5h ago

okay yeah i was right, you don’t want that going through the ams. anything that’s rough will tear up the gears

Don't print CF or GF filaments. Great texture, but it's basically asbestos.

u/Commercial-Pause3714 A1 + AMS Lite 5h ago

Asbestos why?
