If you need to check reliability of your 3D printer filament management system here is simple test tower model you can use.

The model consists four bodies, which you can assign different colours and / or materials, easily generating hundreds of filament change instances, without spending tons of filament to do so.

Printing

Please check the attached pictures for settings. For simple filament change reliability test here it is what you want to set:

  • disable prime tower
  • depending on your bed adhesive you may want to enable few millimeters of a brim
  • set flushing volumes to zero
  • set layer height and/or Z scale to regulate the number of filament change instances

With prime tower disabled and purge volumes set to zero the printout will obviously not follow the colours, but the goal (which is to generate many filament changes) is achieved, with filament waste reduced to minimum.

The provided 3MF file contains all the above settings for Bambu Studio slicer (do not forget to re-sync with your AMS for proper slot / filament assignment).
