Capricorn PTFE kit for Bambu Lab X1 Carbon AMS
Capricorn makes low-friction PTFE tubing, and this kit replaces the tubes the AMS uses to guide filament on the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon. Over time the tubes kink, get squashed or scored inside, and the AMS starts failing to load or retract, especially with soft or fibre-filled filaments. Replacing the tubes is a simple check before you start suspecting the AMS itself.
- Blue Capricorn PTFE tubes, 3 mm inner and 4 mm outer diameter; one set.
- The shop sells it for the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon (X1C).
- It helps when the AMS won't load or retract because a tube is kinked, crushed or worn.
- Cut the ends square and burr-free, and avoid tight bends when routing them.
- Before swapping them, check the spool too (tangles, moisture) and the AMS inlet: a loading failure can have several causes.

Problems it helps to fix
Symptoms it helps with: The multi-material system fails (does not load, cut or jams).
usi3d's troubleshooting guides with the symptoms it helps with and its printers:
- The filament cutter gets stuck («The cutter is stuck») or fails to cut
- AMS 2 Pro or AMS HT: the printer doesn't detect it or it won't dry the filament
- The AMS won't load filament: «Failed to feed», assist motor overloaded or no extrusion
- The AMS won't unload filament: it won't leave the extruder, won't return to the AMS or «filament broken in the toolhead»
- Multi-colour printing: colours mix, purging wastes a lot of filament or the prime tower fails

How to choose the right one
Make sure your printer is an X1 Carbon with an AMS, which is what the shop sells it for; if you own a different Bambu Lab model, check the tube sizes on your setup first.
How we choose products
