initial calibration. It is normal to have vibration and noise
during the calibration process.
Spool Loading

① Orient spool installation according to the filament winding direction. (as shown in
the diagram)
*Warning

① The AMS lite supports spools with a width of 40-68 mm and an inner diameter of 53-58 mm.

② Avoid using AMS lite to print flexible materials, including TPU, TPE, or absorbent PVA.
Avoid using materials that are too hard (too high modulus) or too brittle (not enough
toughness), including third-party fiber reinforcement materials (PA-CF/GF, PET-CF/GF,
PLA-CF/GF, etc.). Please use external spool placement to print these filament.

External Spool (for non-AMS use case)

① Connect the toolhead filament inlet (either one of four) and the filament guide with the
PTFE tube as shown in the diagram.

② Hang filament spool on spool holder then feed the filament line into the PTFE tube as
shown in the diagram.
First Print
