Applicable models of printers
AMS 2 Pro (Hereinafter referred to as AMS)
AMS 2 Pro Air Intake/Vent Assembly
The intake/vent assembly is the air inlet and outlet of the AMS drying function, promoting hot and cold air circulation.
The vents of the intake (bottom) and vent (side wall) assemblies are exactly the same. The only difference is their cable length. The spare parts you receive include one vent, two cables and four screws, If you only install the damper assembly, the cable can be retained for future use.
When to use?
The air intake and vent functions are abnormal, and an HMS error message appears, prompting that the module needs to be replaced; or the after-sales technical support team determines that the module needs to be replaced after determining the fault.

Safety Warning
IMPORTANT!
It's crucial to power off the printer before conducting any maintenance work, including work on the printer's electronics and tool head wires. Performing tasks with the printer on can result in a short circuit, leading to electronic damage and safety hazards.
During maintenance or troubleshooting, you may need to disassemble parts, including the hotend. This exposes wires and electrical components that could short circuit if they contact each other, other metal, or electronic components while the printer is still on. This can result in damage to the printer's electronics and additional issues.
Therefore, it's crucial to turn off the printer and disconnect it from the power source before conducting any maintenance. This prevents short circuits or damage to the printer's electronics, ensuring safe and effective maintenance. По любым вопросам или сомнениям, связанным с этим руководством, мы рекомендуем отправить запрос в техподдержку.
Before starting, make sure the AMS is disconnected from the printer.
Remove the AMS Air Inlet
Step 1 - Remove the PTFE tube on the back of the AMS
Press the PTFE tube release button from the back of the AMS to unlock the fitting, then pull the PTFE tube out from the back of the AMS.
Step 2 - Pull out the PTFE tube release button
Pinch the clip from the inside of the lower cover to automatically pop open the PTFE tube release button, and then pull out the PTFE tube release button from the back of the AMS.
When squeezing the buckle, use your other hand to hold the PTFE tube from the back of the AMS to release the switch to prevent the spring from being ejected and lost.
Step 3 - Remove the AMS main frame assembly
Remove the driven support sleeve assembly of the two middle slots to expose the two screw holes. When removing the bearing sleeve, be careful with the bearings at both ends to avoid losing them.
Remove the two screws A that secure the AMS main frame.
Lift the rear part of the main frame completely and place it vertically on the lower cover of the AMS. Note that there are cables connected, so do not operate violently. When lifting, it is recommended to lift the front part of the main frame first, and then push it forward to make room for the rear part of the frame.
When placing the AMS main frame vertically, avoid the electronic components of the vent to prevent them from being crushed.
Unlock the plug buckle, unplug the signal cable and power cable on the AMS power board, and lift out the AMS main frame assembly as a whole.
Step 4 - Remove the AMS Air Inlet
The air intake is on the bottom, and the air vent is on the side wall. According to the actual situation, remove the 2 screws B or screw C of the corresponding vent, unplug the connector on the air intlet, and remove the assembly.
Considering that cables generally do not fail, when replacing the vent assembly, you can replace the vent first without replacing the cable. If the fault still exists after replacing the vent, then replace the cable.
Install the AMS Air Inlet
Step 1 - Install the AMS Air Inlet
After aligning the screw holes, push in the direction of the screw holes to press the vent to the corresponding hole, tighten the 2 screws B or C of the vent, and plug the vent back in.
When installing, pay attention to the direction of the vent. If the installation direction is wrong, the vent cannot be stuck in place. Do not press it down violently. The opening direction of the socket of the air intake faces upward, and the opening direction of the socket of the air vent faces right.
Step 2 - Install the main frame assembly and driven support sleeve assembly
Install the AMS main frame assembly into the AMS lower cover and connect the signal cable and power cable to the AMS power board.
Align the tabs of the bottom cover unit with the slots of the middle frame, and then insert and install.
After the AMS main frame is installed in place, tighten the two screws to secure it.
Install the two middle driven support sleeve assemblies, making sure that the bearings on both ends of all support shafts are pressed into place.
Step 3 - Install the PTFE tube release button
Press the PTFE tube release button back into the housing in the following direction, insert the buckle into the corresponding slot smoothly, and keep the black silicone housing embedded flat.
Step 4 - Connect the PTFE tube
Check to make sure that the PTFE tube silicone bracket is aligned with the filament hole of the filament hub unit, and push the PTFE tube from the rear of the AMS. After installation, pull the PTFE tube to confirm that the PTFE tube is fixed.
Calibration
Connect the power cable, connect the AMS to the printer, turn on the power, and start using the AMS to load filaments through the operation on the screen. If the loading can be completed and no error prompts appear during the entire loading process, the replacement is successful.
Otherwise, please check all connections and try again. If the problem persists, please обратитесь в сервисную команду Bambu Lab для получения дальнейшей помощи.
