Bambu Lab desiccant for AMS (6 pcs) - SAA029 - Silica gel

Product description

Original Bambu Lab desiccant for AMS – SAA029 is specially designed for the automatic filament feeders Bambu Lab AMS, AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT. The color-changing silicone-based desiccant effectively reduces air humidity in the enclosed AMS chamber, preventing water absorption into the filament and ensuring stable and high-quality 3D printing. Each bag contains color-indicating granules that change color once saturated with moisture, so you can easily recognize when the desiccant needs to be replaced or regenerated.

Important: The desiccant bags must be removed from the outer transparent plastic wrapper before use and only then inserted into the AMS.

Key features

• Original Bambu Lab accessory – compatibility and correct operation in AMS are guaranteed.
• Designed for AMS, AMS 2 Pro and AMS HT – engineered for the new generations of AMS systems.
• Color saturation indication
  • new / dry: granules are light yellow to white,
  • after absorbing moisture they change color towards yellow / purple / darker, indicating the need for replacement or regeneration.
• Effective filament protection – absorbs moisture from the surrounding air in the AMS, keeping the filament dry and less prone to cracking, stringing and poor layer adhesion.
• Easy installation – simply remove the bags from the protective plastic wrapper and insert them into the prepared holders/slots in the AMS.
• Possibility of regeneration (according to the manufacturer's recommendation) – once saturated, the desiccant can be gently dried and reused, or replaced with new bags.
• Pack of 6 pcs – sufficient quantity for replacement in multiple AMS units or for a longer period of time.

Why use desiccant in the AMS

When storing filament in an environment with increased humidity, the following can occur:

• water absorption into the filament,
• increased stringing and bubbles during printing,
• worse surface appearance and lower strength of the print,
• problems especially with hygroscopic materials (e.g. PA, PA-CF, TPU, PETG, PVA).

Bambu Lab desiccant SAA029 maintains low relative humidity in the AMS, which significantly extends filament lifetime and increases repeatability of print results, especially during long-term spool storage in the AMS.

Use and maintenance

1. Removing from the packaging
   • Open the outer transparent plastic bag.
   • Do not remove the desiccant bags from their own (perforated) fabric pouches – these are intended for operation in the AMS.
2. Inserting into the AMS
   • Place the bags into the dedicated slots / holders at the back of the AMS (depending on the type of AMS unit).
   • Make sure the bags do not obstruct free rotation of the spools or movement of the mechanics.
3. Condition check
   • Regularly (approx. every 2 weeks or according to ambient humidity) visually check the color of the granules.
   • Once most of the filling is clearly changed (darker, yellow/purple), the desiccant is saturated and should be replaced or dried.
4. Regeneration (optional)
   • According to the manufacturer's recommendation, the desiccant can be gently dried in a dryer / oven at a low temperature or in a suitable desiccant-drying device.
   • After regeneration, allow the bags to cool down and insert them back into the AMS.

Note: Always verify the specific recommended drying temperatures and times in the official Bambu Lab documentation or on the product label.
