Hit a finishing nail with a sledge hammer

Last night I wanted to set aside time to work on the X1C printer. I have been frustrated that I have not been able to utilize the printer fully since I got it with odd issues. I took several steps last night to correct it. I had a brand new hot end that I just received yesterday. I installed it but before I did I also removed the extruder and cleaned it. I also removed the PTFE tube to verify there were no blockages. While I was in there I also replaced the cutter blade. None of this was an extreme measure however I took an additional step.

I decided to buy the AMS 2 unit (the thing that holds the four different filaments) that comes with Bambu’s new printer, the H2D. It has a number of improvements and is backwards compatible with the X1C. Was this step necessary? Probably not but I plan to use this printer heavily so I could justify the new AMS in my head. I can sell the old AMS hopefully to offset some of the expense. I did a small three color print after all of the work and it came out fine, the first multicolor print to do so. Hopefully I soon can start doing a lot less trouble shooting and more printing on the X1C.
