HOLDERS & MOUNTING TEMPLATES

Put your labels on the machines

Clip holders mount on AMS units, filament dryers and shelves so each spool's label sits right where you load it. Mounting templates center a holder on a specific device. Print them in any filament; they are attached with 24 mm double-sided nano tape.

Easiest: in the studio, enter how many AMS HT, AMS 2 Pro and SpacePi X4 units you have. The batch then includes one template per device type and the holders each device needs: one one-post holder per AMS HT, one four-post holder per AMS 2 Pro and two two-post holders per SpacePi X4. The STLs below are for printing them on their own.

"Fits" is based on each printer's usable plate area in the studio, including diagonal placement where needed. The green bar under each picture shows the part's length to scale, against the 320 mm four-post holder.

Mounting templates

A template is a placement guide: it sits on the device and positions the holder so it ends up centered. Bars show length to the same scale as the holders.

Mounting a holder

You need the holder, the template for your device, 24 mm double-sided nano tape and isopropyl alcohol.

Clean both surfaces, the spot on the device and the back of the holder, with isopropyl alcohol. Let them dry.
Place the template on the device. It centers the holder on the device.
Dry-fit first: set the holder in the template without tape and check the position.
Apply the tape to the back of the holder.
Using the template to position it, press the holder onto the device firmly, then remove the template.

Tape is hard to reposition once it has bonded, which is why the dry fit comes first.

How the AMS 2 Pro template fits the four-post holder

The template has three narrow arms, one at each end and one in the middle. They slot into the three narrow slots in the four-post holder, locking the template onto the holder. The notch on top of the template fits over the top latch on the AMS 2 Pro, which centers the holder on the unit.
