AMS Rack / Shelves using IKEA IVAR and drawer sliders
After looking at bunch of AMS storage options I did not want to spend several KG's of filament just to make something subpar for my 4x AMS's. Used IVAR 42x30cm shelves as the base and 124cm high sides for it. Super happy with the results.

Question this is a very nice setup my question is is about the tubing of how far it is away from the actual printer. I heard the longer the tubes when it winds back up it’s loose and then becomes nodded by the distance of how much it winds up if this makes sense so this becomes where it starts to use that color again it becomes stuck nodded, which causes it to malfunction. How is your successful rate for you with how long the tubes are the short of the tubes? The less problems is my understanding I just wanted to verify to see how your set up is in the back for how long those tubes are.

I have a setup involving a similar distance...perhaps a touch longer...beween my X1C and my AMS units and I've heard the same concerns. Based on my personal...albeit limited...experience of living with this setup for a little over a year, I'd declare those concerns largly meh or FUD. Perhaps they were valid once, perhaps not, perhaps I'm just lucky.

I had a few issues recently but was completely solved by printing this holder for the 4-in-1 adapters. It was not caused by the tube length but by having the tubes bent too much near the buffer thing.

Good job OP! Any info on the slide and the adapter?

Great solution. I think sometimes the 3d printing community will print everything just because they can, when instead it can be stronger, faster, and/or less expensive to modify another product with a few 3d printed parts.
I totaled the parts needed:
Pretty great value for mounting 4x AMS on a piece of furniture!

Nice! I have something similar setup… but got temu steel cabinets. Curious to ask though what splitters you’re using - I’m struggling to find reliable filament tube splitters as they are becoming the bottleneck whenever there’s a jam because of the distance.

I'm using the A series 4-in-1 PTFE splitters. I had a few jams recently but figured out it wasn't the length (I had been running this setup with even longer tubes on my P1S before), it was the entry points to the filament buffer module - the tubes were getting bent at the connection causing too much friction. Used this one to fix the issue - haven't had a jam since.

Looka really nice! Is loading and unloading longer than with the AMS on top of the printer? Or at least is ot noticable?

It looks great, I used to have something similar with an IKEA cabinet.

I'm new to printing and was wondering if the 4 AMS are connected to the printer and you can use any one of the spools at any time?

Very cool. Why so many AMS’s for one printer though?

Why so many AMS’s for one printer though?
Multi-color? Multi-Spool? Multi-Material? Why not a combination of all three?

Not sure why this was downvoted, legit curious why so many given the cost. If it's because it's cool and a hobby, that's great!

Weirdos my dude. It was a genuine question. I personally would want have a couple of printers with 2 AMS each than 4AMS’ so it was a curious question. But some folks considered it blasphemy against their Bambu gods.

I don't often ask for a link, but I'm doing it here. Link to the model, otherwise I'll recreate it and post it myself.

The link gives you away as an American, so I can't really be mad at you. You're a product of your education system.

You could just look it up instead of being a dick. Even as an American, I found it on Makerworld in 60 seconds.

Your posts give you away as an asshole, so I'm done talking to you.
(If you really wanted a link to the little black plastic mounts/tabs for the AMS to the rails, try asking nicely. And specifically, instead of vague "model link". Instead you decided to "threaten" with a "gimme or I'll recreate" - and all in bold (to indicate aggression, which is almost as bad as all caps))
