X1 / P1P PTFE Tube Guide to fix loading issues - best of both worlds - #ThangsBambuContest
This remix combines what I consider to be the best of multiple solutions to the problem of inconsistent AMS loading on the X1/P1P printers:
- Snap-on ease of use from the semi-official Bambu bracket.. But this bracket had routing issues that caused the tube to be either too tight or to hit the top glass.
- Superior arc/design from Mowcius's for curvature and keeping the tube angled correctly. But this design came in two parts that had to be shoved together, and also tended to have the part rub the top glass. It also has a thin support arm that tended to be just a little too easy to break in ABS for me, so I thickened it.
This design has the snap-on abilities of the Bambu bracket, with the better curvature of the Mowcius bracket, and the added strength on the support arm by adding 1.5 mm thickness to it. I hope it works for you !
Credit to davidja92 who made a remix like this with a mesh-mix style. I remodeled his approach here with my own finishing touches in CAD for a cleaner model and stronger arm.
Printed at 102% scale in black ABS @0.2 layer height. If you print in PETG or other plastic that shrinks less than ABS, I would suggest trying 100% scale. I'm sure it works well at smaller layer heights as well.

What's the second orange part pictured in your photo?
Question: occasionally the arm gets twisted around and stuck facing the back causing a kink in the ptfe tube and and an error, what could be the cause. I printed 2 1 for each of my X1’s one printer has yet to experience the problem and the other it has happened 2 out of the last 10 prints.. any suggestions
did you also happen to print additional clips to tie the PTFE tube to the cable arm?
