1. Install the build plate with correct orientation, aligning the edge with the heatbed.

Unlock Heatbed

1. Flip the base housing 90 degree to the side opposite to the screen.
2. Use Allen Key H2 to remove the 4 highlighted screws at the bottom of the Base Housing to unlock the heatbed
   (Be careful when fully releasing the heatbed; use foam padding in the package to protect the heatbed from swinging).

Mate Base Housing & Printer Frame

1. Put the Printer Frame on the table as shown above.

2. Tilt the Base Housing about 45 degree to pass through the Printer Frame.
   (Use the screen as indicator for orientation)

3. Align the slot with the Printer Frame as shown in the diagram.

4. Slowly lower the Base Housing until it is fully flush with the Printer Frame on the table.

Unlock Toolhead

1. Cut the ziptie and cardboard wrapped around the toolhead and X-axis.
2. Remove the zipties and foam paddings on the printer frame.

Remove Y-Axis Cover

1. Open the Y-axis cover.
2. Push the heatbed fully to the front end, where the screen is located.
3. Pull out the Y-axis cover gently.

Lock Base Housing

1. Install 10*ST3-23 Screws (For Base Housing) in the holes highlighted in green.
2. Push the heatbed to the other end.

1. Install 2*ST3-23 Screws (For Base Housing) in the holes highlighted in green.

Put Cover Back

1. Push the heatbed fully to the front end, where the screen is located.
2. Gently slide the Y-axis cover back into place.
3. Make sure to align the clip.

Place On Table

1. Turn the A1 90 degree onto its rear, laying it on the edge of a table.
   (It is recommended to cover the table with cardboard for protection.)
   Please make sure the printer is secure on the table while following the steps.

Plug In Cable Box

1. Align the 2 clips on the cable box with the holes on the Base Housing.
2. Slide up the cable box until the Type-C cable clicks in place. (DO NOT force the insert.)
3. Make sure the cable box is nice and flush in the slot, then screw in the pre-installed screw highlighted in green.

Plug In Connectors

AMS lite Assembly

1. Put the AMS lite body on the stand (cable on the upward end).
2. Secure the AMS lite with the 4*BT3-8 screws (For AMS Stand) from the accessory box.

1. Slide the rotary spool holders on (all the way in), being careful to match colors to avoid damaging any parts.

1. Put AMS lite to the right side of the A1.
2. Insert all four PTFE tubes into the toolhead filament hub.
3. Insert short PTFE tubes into ports 1 and 2.
4. Insert long PTFE tubes into ports 3 and 4.
5. Clip the black data cable into the organizer.

(The recommended distance between A1 and AMS lite is 50mm as shown in the diagram.)

Powering On

1. Plug the AMS lite 4pin connector into the port on the back of the A1 (either one).
2. Plug in the power cable and turn on the A1 using the power switch on the back. Please leave a safe amount of space for heatbed movement. (as shown in the diagram)

Network Setting

1. Follow the instructions untill you see this screen. Press “Select Wi-Fi” to search for available network.
2. Select your preferred network.
3. Input the passcode, and then press “OK”.

Printer Binding

1. Download the Bambu Handy App. Register and log in to your Bambu Lab account.
2. Use Bambu Handy to scan the QR code on the screen, and bind your printer to your Bambu Lab account.
3. Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the initial calibration. It is normal to have vibration and noise during the calibration process.

Spool Loading

1. Orient spool installation according to the filament winding direction (as shown in the diagram).

*Warning

1. The AMS lite supports spools with a width of 40-68 mm and an inner diameter of 53-58 mm.
2. Avoid using AMS lite to print flexible materials, including TPU, TPE, or absorbent PVA.
   Avoid using materials that are too hard (too high modulus) or too brittle (not enough toughness), including third-party fiber reinforcement materials (PA- CF/GF, PET-CF/GF, PLA-CF/GF, etc.). Please use external spool placement to print these filament.

1. Push the spool all the way onto the spool retractor. Make sure it fully click into place.
2. Feed the filament into the filament inlet.

External Spool (for non-AMS use case)

1. Assemble the spool holder.
2. Connect the toolhead filament inlet (either one of four) and the filament guide with the 600mm PTFE tube as shown in the diagram.
3. Install the cable organizer as shown in the graph.
4. Hang filament spool on spool holder then feed the filament line into the PTFE tube as shown in the diagram.

First Print

1. Press “Print Files” to access the preloaded models on the SD card.
2. Select the model you want to print.
3. Turn on “Use AMS” if you are using filaments on AMS.
   Turning on “Bed leveling” is recommended.
   Turn on “Timelapse” for timelapse video recording.

AMS Mapping

Note: We recommend using similar colors to match the preset. Otherwise the flush setting might be inaccurate.
