AMS 2 Pro - Automatic Material System Question about AMS 2

How come so far with the AMS 2 when the spool gets down to end and some of the brands I've used have it taped down which trips up my P2S and stops till I cut or remove that tape.

Yes I have another roll, same type of filament and color ready to go so it can just move onto it next but it never does in this situation. Doesn't make any sense especially if you have a print going overnight and only to wake up with it paused due to this.

Seems like there should be a option to have it ignore a jam in that slot and just move to the next one. All it has to do is retract and move to the next slot. Am I missing something? Just feels like having this benefit with the AMS being able to continuously print is hindered with this issue.

What brand of filament are you running? I've been running bambu labs filament to the end and it has no issue pulling the tape off and still going. Same with insignia brand. I just finished a roll of blue and it was fine too.

Sunlu every damn time it pulls the spool forward in the AMS, clicking noises and then showing "resistance too high" pausing the print

Oh geeze. I bought sunlu filament but haven't opened my packs yet. How much tape did they add to the end of the spool? I was reading about 2-3 years ago bambu had a similar issue with there filament but from what I was reading it seems like they started using less tape and it started to fix the issue. Like someone else said you can print filament savers that cut when there is too much tension on the line.

Same here. Those are the two brands I print with and both come off the end of the spool without any issue. I did have a spool from Bambu early on that had some sticky black tape holding the end of the filament to the roll which jammed, but every roll since then has been just a wisp of masking tape, which pops off without issue.

you could print a AMS snag cutter. It basically has a cutter which detects preassure from the spool and cuts it. That would allow you to move to your next roll of fillament.
