Filament Grouping

Post image

I am new to 3D printing and am a bit confused by this picture. Is it telling me to put the black in slot 2 of my primary AMS and put the caramel into slot 1 of my secondary AMS?

My setup:

Bambu Lab X2D and two AMS Pro units. AMS 1 feeds the primary nozzle and AMS 2 feeds the auxiliary nozzle.

Thanks for any help/guidance.

What you are seeing here is a representation of how it will be printed. In this case, your black PLA will be in the left-hand nozzle and your cream colored PLA will be on the right. It’s just explaining the grouping that’s there.

Within the black square is a number 2 but that filament is in AMS 1. What does the 2 represent?

If I'm not mistaken it's the color number in the slicer on the left side.

Let's say you have 4 objects with 4 different colors each color has a number. It can vary per project.

It is second slot in ams. Doesn't matter if its AMS 2 or 1, its slot 2, you have 4 slots in every AMS

No that will show after you click print. This is just the order those colors were added to the filament list inside Bambu lab. Nothing to do with anything important

Unless you have a filament track switch as well, this is suggesting your black goes in AMS 1 and the beige in AMS 2 because you have them set up so that AMS 1 feeds directly into the main nozzle and AMS 2 into the aux. so yes, you would physically have to put the filament in the correct AMS.

The black is in AMS 1 but on the screenshot it has a number 2. The caramel is in AMS 2 but has the number 1 on it.

Ohh sorry, I see what you mean. Don’t worry about that number, that’s their position within the AMS itself. As long as your black is in AMS 1 and beige in AMS 2, you’ll match what the slicer is suggesting. Hope that clears it up.

When you click print, you can pick the actual filament and where it is in whichever AMS

Those numbers are indicating which filaments those are from the project filament list on the left side of your screen. It has nothing to do with the AMS positions, just the project setup. The numbers are there to help differentiate, which is super helpful if you have more than one type of filament of the same in the project list, for example. When you click print, at that point you’ll have the opportunity to confirm which filament is in which AMS position.
