Fixing Bambu Lab’s Biggest Flaw - Sunlu AMS Heater Hands-On

In this video, we’re diving into the Sunlu AMS Heater, an aftermarket upgrade designed to bring active filament drying to the Bambu Lab’s Automatic Material System. We’ll show you how it installs, how it performs on both the original AMS and AMS 2 Pro, and whether it’s worth adding to your multi-material setup. If you’ve ever dealt with moisture-related print issues, this might be the fix you’ve been waiting for. Plus, we’ll highlight a few quirks of this pre-production unit and share what’s expected to change in the final version. Stick around to see real-world testing, performance data, and whether this heater lives up to the hype.
