Problem or Use Case

I frequently need to load 8–10 (sometimes more) identical spools of the same filament into the AMS (for example, when printing large single-color parts or using the same filament in multiple slots for auto-refill/backup).

Currently there is no convenient way to do this:

I have to manually add and configure each spool one by one in the AMS settings.
It takes a lot of time and is prone to mistakes (wrong color, type, or K-value).

Additionally, I noticed another related issue:
When using non-Bambu (third-party) filament, I cannot manually change or edit the filament settings directly in the AMS slots on the printer (or in the Device tab). I can only assign it from the slicer. With Bambu filament it works normally. I'm not sure if this is intended behavior or a limitation/bug.

Proposed Solution

Add a "Clone" or "Duplicate" button in the filament management menu.
Even better — add a "Create multiple..." button/dialog where I can:
- Choose a filament profile (Bambu or custom)
- Specify how many identical copies I want to create (e.g. 10)
- Optionally assign them to specific slots automatically

This would save a huge amount of time when working with many identical spools.

Bonus: Make it possible to freely edit filament type/color/K-value for non-RFID (third-party) filaments directly in the AMS settings, not only through the slicer.

Alternative solutions

At minimum, allow bulk selection and duplication of slots.

@maziggy commented on GitHub (Apr 10, 2026):

Both is already there!

You can configure AMS slots even when a spool i assigned.

Buld add spools are also available.
