Comment on Bambulab A1 vs Sovol sv06 ace+
Sphks@jlai.lu 1 week ago
I have the Balbulab A1 with the AMS Lite. The AMS is a game changer. The main reason is not to do multi-color printing, but to charge and change the filament without thinking about it. You just have to engage the filament into one hole and forget about it : everything else is done for you. I can’t go back, waiting for the nozzle to heat, charging the filament, waiting for the nozzle to purge, cleaning the nozzle, etc.
As a bonus, the AMS manages the end of rolls. If you have the exact same roll, it will use the filament of the first roll until the end, the swap with the new roll. It can do it alone if you have already put the rolls on the AMS. This way, it can print nights and days and you don’t have to check if the rolls will soon be empty.
I can’t talk about the Sovol.

Does it work with 3-5 kg rolls?

Yes, if you put the roll on another support next to it. Putting the rolls on the arms of the AMS lite allows : to re-roll the filament (there is a spring to re-roll the filament, for example at the end of the print), and to read the RFID. Both functions are optionnal.
