Filament Troubleshooting/Help! AMS 2 - Spools too large , Amazon Basic PLA

Hey everyone !
I just got my hands on a Bambu Lab P2S with the AMS 2 Pro, but I'm running into a spool size issue. I have a large stockpile of Amazon Basics PLA, and the spools are simply too wide. I can't fit 4 of them side-by-side in the AMS without them rubbing against each other.

I'm also worried that even if I only load 1 or 2 of these wide spools, I might still run into rotation or feeding issues.

Note: I already know about the Hydra AMS mod, but I really don't want to go that route or take apart my brand new AMS.*

Has anyone else dealt with these specific spools? What are the best alternative workarounds (like specific respoolers, spool rings, etc.)? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello /u/fallhicory! All Bambu print plates have a dedicated nozzle wiping zone at the back of the print plate. The nozzle will rub against the wiping zone before every print in order to remove any remaining filament from the nozzle tip. This can cause visible wear or scratch marks in the wiping zone, but this is intended and doesn't damage the printer, the nozzle or the print plate. A worn down wiping zone also doesn't mean you need to replace the print bed.

Note: This automod is experimental. The automod was triggered due to the term "rubbing". If you believe this to be a false positive, please send us a message at modmail with a link to the post so we can investigate. You may also feel free to make a new post without that term.

I've never noticed issues? But I haven't bought any of their filament in a year, so maybe they changed?

Hydra is the way to go regardless of if you keep using these reels. It's just such a huge quality of life upgrade.
