The Advanced Filtration System (AFS) protrudes quite a bit at the back, and I often have to store my printer in a cabinet. I wanted a way to quickly remove the AFS without having to open the xBuddy box to disconnect the AFS connector from the xBuddy extension board.

For a reliable solution, I opted for the Molex ClickMate connector, just like Prusa does. This project includes a small PCB, 3D-printed enclosure (base and lid), extension cable, and optional magnetic mounting hardware.

What You Get

  • Quick-connect adapter - Disconnect the AFS in seconds without opening the printer enclosure

  • Complete design files - CAD models (3MF + STEP), KiCad PCB files, and production-ready manufacturing files

  • Molex_ClickMate_Gender_Changer.kicad_sch - Schematic

  • Molex_ClickMate_Gender_Changer.kicad_pcb - PCB layout

Manufacturing

PCB

Files in pcb/production/ are ready to send to a fab service:

  • bom.csv - Bill of materials

  • positions.csv - Component placement

  • designators.csv - Reference designators

  • netlist.ipc - Netlist

  • Gerber files - PCB layers

Easy option: Upload to JLCPCB for cheap assembly (€5-10).

3D Printing

  • 3MF files - Import directly into your slicer (PrusaSlicer, Cura, etc.)

  • STEP files - For modifications in CAD software

3D Printing Settings

Use the following recommended settings:

  • Layer height: 0.2mm

  • Print orientation: Flat sides down (as provided in files)

  • Support material: None required

  • Infill: 15-20% (cubic or grid pattern recommended)

  • Material: PLA, PETG sufficient

Assembly

  1. Prepare 3D printed parts

  2. Insert PCB into base enclosure

  3. Attach extension cable

    1.    Connect the Molex ClickMate cable to the PCB connector (Side with the big cutout)

    2.    Route the cable like the direct AFS cable was routed to the xBuddy extension board

    3.    Connect the other side of the ClickMate cable to the xBuddy extension board

  4. Install optional magnets

  5. Close the enclosure

  6. Mount to printer

Bonus Use

The AFS QuickConnect can also be used as an extender for stepper motors or other connectors if cables are too short.

Project is versioned at codeberg.
