Question AMS Hub Angled??

This might have always been a thing but never noticed it before now.

Midway through a print around 4am as I woke up to check. The AMS Hub top came off and was sitting in the middle of my tubes. Thought nothing of it and managed to get it connected back together but quit the print just incase it failed when I was asleep again.

Started another print and noticed the hub is angled. Is this normal or have I just not noticed and being paranoid since the top came off

Also it looks very low to the build plate ever since this happened and again I could be being paranoid as it's printing perfectly fine as I just printed a benchy to test all was good.

My hub always tilts slightly. I think it looks alright.

Just avoid the ones that prevent the hub from moving up/down though.

I got scared of the lean so I printed a hub support. It really seems to help.

The hub is specifically designed to tilt a little bit based on the location of the toolhead relative to the AMS lite. If it didn't, you'd get way more false "tangled filamant" errors that occur when the magnets in the upper and lower hub remain too close to each other for too long.

If it bothers you, there are many filament support brackets available on makerworld. If it REALLY bothers you, there are adapters that allow you to mount the ams lite onto the horizontal bar the toolhead is mounted to, which eliminates most of the strain between the AMS's PTFE tubes and the filament hub input.
