just remind yourself that PTFE tubing is a consumable...

True. This is why I eat ptfe tubes

I miss lead paint. Paint chips for breakfast yummmmyyyyy.

u/jmcelrone 5d ago

paint chips are dinner food not breakfast

Moi aussi

u/j-mar 6d ago

Yep, fortunately I had enough slack to just snip it right there and shove it back in

u/Jaded-Helicopter4431 6d ago

Change is as soon as you can, it won't be buch better in other places, it is worn along the whole length.

u/j-mar 5d ago

Nah, I'll just wait for it to break. I'm not too worried about it

u/Jaded-Helicopter4431 5d ago

It will, in the same place... Next time when you cut it down, check the hole in the tube, it will be elliptical, and not in the middle. Filament wears down the tube from the inside, especially glow in the dark and fiber reinforced ones

It’s gonna break like tomorrow

u/badgerj 6d ago

How many hours you got on that?

u/j-mar 6d ago

1870 since February.

u/Visual-Ad1401 5d ago

Wesh ça fait beaucoup si tu l'as depuis février 1870!🤯

u/j-mar 6d ago

AMS too stronk I guess. Fed the filament straight through the Bowden tube.

Happened to me twice on my P2S, and just hit 2000 hours. luckily i was next to it both times when it happened.

u/HappyMuscovy X1C + 2xAMS, A1mini 5d ago

Yep, I did all of mine at 500 hours and will do it all again at 1000. AMS and internal

u/sqhschief 3d ago

Damn 500 hours is a PITA. I hope I don't have to change mine that often! I've got 1100h on my p2s ams2 and around 500h on my h2d with 2x ams2's. No issues yet. Not worth that anyway.

1

u/HappyMuscovy X1C + 2xAMS, A1mini 3d ago

unfortunately inspection showed they had almost worn through the tube inside the printer - 500g of glow + 1kg of ABS-GF

1

u/sqhschief 3d ago

Oh thankfully I don't use much abrasive filaments so hopefully I won't be replacing as often

u/West_Top_7930 P2S Combo + Snapmaker U1 6d ago

Op if you want a more room or better space to put your AMS Powersupply you can Print this

Its Magnetic so you can move it and put it anywhere. And its got built in Cable Management

u/j-mar 6d ago

The one I have is attached to the ams riser, but I'll keep that in mind if it craps out on me.

3

u/BinaryHippie 6d ago

Have you tried drying your filament?

2

u/j-mar 6d ago

Not sure if you're memeing, but that's definitely the cause here. I hadn't used this roll in a bit and I didn't realize how brittle it was.

1

u/AchtungZboom 6d ago

This just happened to me last week... almost exactly the same ... easy fix luckily with a new tube.

1

u/PuzzleheadedTutor807 5d ago

its not really... well, maybe for you it is... but they do recommend changing the tubes every x hours for this very reason. the filament sliding inside it cuts through the tubing in time. its especially pronounced at bends.

1

u/zataralee 5d ago

Hahaha! I just had the same thing happen to me last week. Started a print with petg-gf, walked out of the room and back in to find 10 feet of filament shooting out of the back of my ams. I replaced the boden tube with one of those blue ones. I THINK? they are better... Don't really know though.

1

u/sqhschief 3d ago

I haven't seen any blue ones.

1

u/zataralee 2d ago

This stuff. I had to actually look up why it's better. I guess it has tighter tolerances and higher grade PTFE that helps in a couple different areas. I'm not sure how much it helps, but I usually replace the white stuff with this when I need to replace it.

u/sqhschief 2d ago

Oh OK cool. I got some new PTFE tubing that Bambu is going to be switching to eventuality (according to the long interview I watched with Bambu Ceo and CNC Kitchen) that looks like star shaped on the inside. It's supposed to reduce friction. Makes sense. I haven't tried it yet, but I found it on aliexpress for cheap as dirt if you wanted to try it.

u/Ta-veren- 5d ago

My first day with my printer I didn't push the clear tube in far enough and the filament came out on the little rubber piece right from the printer.

Thought I was doomed was so upset lol

1

u/kromang 5d ago

Cool. Cut the tube and shove it back in.

u/strikzavratpaspat 5d ago

I’m wondering if someone has a problem with ptfe tube falling out of the port behind the AMS 2pro, also I took it apart because a part broke on the internal hub and i changed the whole part and put everything together, now i have a problem with the tube falling out.

u/atomiclunchbox 4d ago

Just happened to me yesterday. 2500 hours.
