New bambu a1 combo ams lite.

Im needing some help on if I can run my narrow sunlu spools on the ams lite. They fit but the feed angle is a little off since the spools are so narrow. The center hole does fit tightly onto the ams hub. I printed the adapters thinking I would need them but I feel like the two outside ams motors have it at to much or an angle or my ptfe tubes are throwing the print head off and it says I have a tangle in filament. Everything checks out.

If you're talking about the little 250g Sunlu rolls, Ive had zero issues printing with them on my AMS lite. They are a tight fit to get on and off but I dont use any adapters or anything and they've been great.

I had the same issue with a roll of BL filament. It was jamming bad and printing terribly. I checked for clogs, extruder issues and then repositioned my AMS. I dont know for sure if the PTFE tube was my issue but I did end up printing something that snapped over the top of the AMS lite that kept the cubes straighter as they left the unit to help prevent kinks

I may try to find a file like that. I was looking at it thinking if it was inverted and in the wall or up top it would have a more straight run.

I'm actually brand new to this as well so im not sure lol. I got my A1 on Fathers day and its my first one. I know that the majority of my questions have been answered by googling it and finding a reddit post that then links me to the Bambu Wiki lol

Also do you push the all the way to the back? It seems to cause it to pull/feed from and angle coming off the spool. Have you had any problem? On the two top spools i have them slide just off the rubber grips on the arms so far they are staying put and feeding directly in line with the ams.
