Product description
If the printer offers an AMS update with the BMCU connected, do not update the AMS firmware, as the BMCU will stop working and you will have to manually re-upload the BMCU firmware.
Firmware A1/A1 mini 01.07 tested and supported. Functionality with newer firmware cannot be guaranteed. BMCU Firmware https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1hdiSyvxWcIvtZG92uE7YCp_mhSPL9PZN BMCU 370C is an open-source alternative to Bambu AMS lite, which enables multi-color and multi-material printing on Bambu Lab printers. The 370C variant utilizes a Hall buffer and is designed for stable, gentle, and quiet feeding of material. This version is assembled and includes a connection cable. Simply plug it into the printer and print. When connecting, it is important to turn off the printer, plug in the BMCU, and then turn the printer back on.Main Benefits
- Bidirectional buffering and smoother feeding – reduces the risk of filament damage/jamming and supports "long retraction after cutting" during material changes.
- Active feeding (370 motors) for reliable filament switching even with longer material paths.
- 4-filament system – a simple solution for printing with up to 4 materials/colors. (Expansion beyond 4 filaments is currently not supported.)
- Open-source firmware and hardware with community documentation (CH32 series control MCU).
Compatibility
- Bambu Lab A1 and A1 mini – fully supported.
- P1S / P1P – experimental support (requires custom integration; functionality without warranty).
- X1 series – "possible, but unverified".
What to Expect During Assembly
BMCU 370C in this variant is already assembled and just needs to be connected to the printer. This is a community solution without RFID spool recognition.Key Features
- 4 independent filament paths for multi-color/MMU printing.
- Hall buffer (370C version): quieter operation and higher resistance to "backpressure" in the hub.
- Bidirectional buffering and long retraction after filament cutting.
- Active feeding with 370 motors.
- Open-source design, MCU CH32, without RFID reader.
- Compatible with 1,75 mm filaments (PLA/PETG etc.; according to printer recommendations).
