How to Use AMS Slot Planner

  1. Assign filaments to AMS Slots 1, 2, 3, and 4.
  2. Designate primary body colors, accent details, and support interface materials.
  3. Review the generated visual slot map and print preparation guide.

What is the AMS Slot Planner?

A pre-print configuration tool that maps filament rolls to AMS hardware slots for multi-color models and dedicated zero-gap support materials.

Formula Used

• Slot Mapping = Match(Model_Color_Hierarchy, AMS_Slots[1..4])

Real-World Example

Slot 1: PLA Matte Black (Main Case), Slot 2: PLA Orange (Text), Slot 3: PLA White (Icons), Slot 4: PETG Clear (Zero-gap Support Interface).

Accuracy and Limitations

Do not load abrasive filaments (glow-in-the-dark, carbon fiber) into standard AMS units without hardened funnel wear protectors.

Who It Is For

Multi-material 3D print designers and functional prototype engineers.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use PETG as a support interface for PLA in the AMS?
Yes! PETG and PLA do not adhere to each other. Using PETG in one AMS slot for the support interface layer allows supports to detach cleanly with zero scarring.
