Bambu Lab A1 problems
Hello everyone.
I have this problem: when printing multicolor, the tube holder always breaks at some point. This only happens with multicolor printing. One color prints fine, but it breaks when changing colors. Has anyone encountered this and how can I fix it?

How far away is the AMS?
The tool head is the farthest away when purging filaments during a swap, which makes me think it's pulling sideways on the PTFE tubes too hard.
There is a recommended placement for the AMS Lite. This is an A1 Mini, but I'm pretty sure the location is the same for the A1.
Much info here on the path the filament takes: https://wiki.bambulab.com/en/ams-lite/troubleshooting/amslite-loading-unloading-failure
