SUNLU AMS Heater: The ultimate filament drying solution for Bambu Lab AMS users
The SUNLU AMS Heater is a filament drying accessory specifically designed for Bambu Lab AMS (Automatic Material System) printers. It replaces the standard AMS lid and allows for real-time drying while printing. This upgrade enables users to maintain filament quality by preventing moisture-related issues with materials such as nylon, PETG, and TPU, which are known to absorb moisture and impair print quality.
Key features of the SUNLU AMS Heater
-
Dual PTC heating elements
The AMS Heater uses two 150W PTC heating elements with dual fans for uniform heating, reaching up to 70°C in 20 minutes – ideal for sensitive filaments like nylon and PC. -
Humidity control
The device features an intelligent humidity control system that activates automatically when relative humidity exceeds 50%. It also offers adjustable RH settings for precise filament drying, making it suitable for a wide range of filament types. -
Quick installation
The AMS Heater is extremely easy to install – no tools required. Simply remove the existing AMS lid and replace it with the SUNLU AMS Heater in less than 3 minutes. -
Safety features
The AMS Heater includes multiple safety precautions, including an automatic shut-off if the desired temperature range is exceeded. This ensures safe operation throughout the entire printing process. -
User-friendly interface
The AMS Heater features a user-friendly touchscreen interface that allows for the adjustment of temperature, humidity, and drying time. This makes it intuitive and easy to use, even for beginners.
Benefits of the SUNLU AMS Heater
- Improved print quality: The AMS Heater ensures that the filament stays dry, even during long prints. This prevents issues such as stringing, bubbling, and poor adhesion, which occur with moisture-laden filament.
- No downtime: Unlike traditional filament dryers where the filament must be removed and dried separately, the AMS Heater dries in real-time while printing, ensuring uninterrupted workflows.
- Cost-effective and practical: The AMS Heater is an affordable solution for users looking to improve the performance and longevity of their filament, especially when using hygroscopic materials.
