AMS Filament Splitter Adapter

This is yet another splitter / adapter for the Carbon/P1/PS with an AMS. It allows you to keep the AMS connected while using single spools. The part is light enough that the PTFE tubes hold it in place. The path favors the AMS to prevent jams, so some manually-inserted filaments may need a little more force to get through the adapter. I've been able to get everything from TPU to CPE-CF through with no issues.

It's meant to work with PC4-M10 PTFE tube fitting adapters. The threads are part of the print and no further drilling or tapping is required. Just screw in the fittings, insert the tubes, and enjoy never having to disconnect the AMS to print non-compatible materials again.

Make sure to cut your PTFE tubes as squarely as possible, and to insert them all the way into the adapter to reduce jams (see the section images above for reference). I recommend using a tube cutter like this one.

If you experience jams, you can also ream out the end of the tube that goes into the single-port side. A reamer like one this works very well. 

I've been using this with no AMS jams for a few months, but your mileage may vary. Note that some of the pictures show an earlier version of the part. The geometry is the same, it just has a different label for the spool port.
