When getting the access code from the printer do not select the refresh icon next to the code.

## Loading, Unloading and Configuring Filament

### Unloading

#### Generic filament on card spools

Filament on card spools should NOT be used directly in the AMS, the spool rollers chew up the card spools and make a mess of the AMS.

A [shim](https://www.printables.com/model/251028-cardboard-spool-ring-for-bambu-lab-ams-parametric/) can be printed to protect the edges of the card spool.

![Shims on a cardboard filament spool](./images/cardboard_spool_shims.jpg)

Some cardboard spools, once clad with a printed shim, are too wide for the lid of the AMS to be closed without clamping the spool and preventing it from moving.
In this case the clips on the AMS lid may be used to prop the lid slightly open as shown below.
This should only be done when a filament is loaded into the AMS that would otherwise foul the AMS lid, prefer closing the lid when possible to take advantage of the humidity control offered by the AMS.

The micro SD card is used for storing print jobs, timelapse and camera recordings (amongst other things that are of little direct use to humans).

It is not advised to use the SD card as a means of getting print jobs onto the machine.
Do not use the SD card as a means of getting print jobs onto the machine.

Removing the SD card is how you would get timelapses and camera recordings off the printer, however if you wish to do this then immediately return the card to the printer as removal of the card renders it inoperative.
