Simple and easy AMS Helper System. The design attachs directly to the first stage feeders filament intake.

AMS2 Pro version: [https://makerworld.com/en/models/1301199-ez-ams2-helper](https://makerworld.com/en/models/1301199-ez-ams2-helper) 

Before you print:

• I´ve got feedback, that the size of the first stage feeder port varrys. If you have the larger Port than you should use the print profile for the larger one. (Larger means 3,1mm in height instead of 3mm)

Advantages (i have noticed):

• No wear out of the grey filament intake port of the first stage feeder
• Fixed filament retraction problem where the filament gets all over the AMS
• Reduced horizontal stress on the first stage feeder
• Fixed spool hopping when filament gets low

Assembly:

• Just stick a PTFE tube into the clip and slide it on the first stage feeder.
• Optional put a bit of glue in the hole before sticking the ptfe tube in to prevent slipping out

Notes:

• I use 9cm long PTFE tubes. Maybe the optimal length is different… (Update 18.2: Trying 9cm tubes instead of 13 cm)
• This helper should also work with the Hydra AMS System
• Check also out my PTFE Tube Protector: [https://makerworld.com/en/models/234268](https://makerworld.com/en/models/234268)
• I got replies that the AMS Helper breaks in some cases. Please keep in mind, that this is my intention, as i more likely have to have the AMS Helper broken than your First Stage Feeder

Installation on the AMS:

• Here you can see how to install the EZ AMS Helper on the AMS. Just slide it on, don´t try to mount it from the top.
