This container is designed to accommodate either your own rechargeable desiccant beads or pre-packaged desiccant packets, offering flexible moisture control options.

NEW AMS HT Desiccant Box

Printing Notes:

- UPDATED PROFILES: New Version added for a smoother bottom angle. - I have never needed supports or a brim to print this, be sure to clean your build plate before printing. - If you plan on using the drying feature of the new AMS 2 PRO, Print this box in PETG or ABS. - Be sure to clean your build plate. - FYI:  If your printer keeps pausing due to AI detection an issue, It's not learning…   TURN OFF AI Detection. Installation Notes:

- Fill the desiccant box with your choice of desiccant beads or just fill with desiccant packets. - Use the orange rechargeable desiccant (The blue is known to be toxic) - I found this desiccant works great and can be recharged in 10 minutes in your microwave. - Snap the lid onto the box (It's a nice tight lid). - Place box into the rear of your AMS 2 PRO with the Bambu logo facing forward (either way will work)

Why is Desiccant Still Needed in the AMS 2 PRO?

Desiccant is used in an active filament dryer to absorb moisture from the air surrounding the filament. Here's why this is necessary:

- Filament is hygroscopic : Most 3D printing filaments (like PLA, ABS, PETG, and especially nylon ) absorb moisture from the air. Even small amounts of water can lead to: - Poor print quality (stringing, bubbling, inconsistent extrusion) - Weakened mechanical properties - Clogged nozzles - Active drying still requires moisture removal : An active filament dryer typically heats the filament to release absorbed moisture , and the desiccant: - Traps that moisture , preventing it from re-entering the air inside the dryer - Speeds up drying by maintaining a low-humidity environment - Maintains dry storage conditions : Even after drying, the desiccant helps keep the air inside the dryer dry, preserving filament quality until it's used.

Important Features:

- Top loading of desiccant is key! - Front loading holders seems risky, if they open and leaks beads in the AMS 2,  it could cause some real damage to fans and heater. - Designed a bit smaller vertically to allow for easier insert and removal, - Allows for better air flow through bottom of the box.
