Description
This version 2 of the MMS 0.5, a compact and easy to make filament swapping solution for Bambu X1 and P1 series printers.
The original uses 16 bearings, 2 metal rods, threaded inserts and a lot of screws - however the MMS 0.5 uses 1 M3 8mm screw and 1 PTFE tube of whatever length, which attaches to the back of the MMS.
Also you may want to add some anti-slip feet as it may move around during aggressive printing - you can print these in TPU instead of buying it https://www.printables.com/model/655037-half-ball-anti-slip-feet
The only thing you need to do in the slicer is to support block the bottom stand, as the 2 filament guides have to be hollow. A handy guide to this in Bambu Slicer/Orca Slicer is here -
It is possible to link 2 of these together by using a Y - splitter (link here - https://www.printables.com/model/372040-ptfe-tube-y-splitter-with-strong-magnets).
I also plan on making a 4 spool version, and will post that soon.
In the meantime happy printing and easy filament swapping!
