ACE Pro Return Detection Module (RDM) relocator for Print Time Saving & Tool-Free ACE Pro unloading Three Problems with ACE Pro setup With the four long (85+ cm) Teflon tubes for ACE Pro hanging at the back of my S1 printer, I felt it takes forever to feed a filament. While waiting for Anycubic's own speed improvement, I decided to reduce the length of the tubes by relocating the RDM module to the external spool attachment spot at the back of my S1 printer. Those long Teflon tubes connected to the ACE Pro Buffer make noise during printing as the tubes are tilted to go downward. When you need to unmount ACE Pro, I found it is troublesome to unscrew either the RDM unit or the 4-to-1 hub. I even need to turn my printer around to do so. I needed to find a way to eliminate the trouble. Highlights Time Saving for Filament loading & Unloading: with 50% less tube length, I think it now takes a reasonable time to load, unload, or swap filament at this time. This is even helpful when you have to manually pull out filament as it is much shorter in the path. Note I don't have the exact time measured for time saving, as there are many factors in measuring time savings such as inconsistent time estimates in Anycubic Slicer Next. I don't want to falsely advertise. Tool-Free Filament Hub Holder: Two Benefits - This design allows tool-free removal of the 4-to-1 hub. If you use my popular S1C Flip Riser here and this model together, unloading ACE Pro from a S1 printer is completely tool-free. You just need to pull out the printed pins from this bracket. It also eliminates stress on the screw connection between the filament hub and a RDM unit. Angled RDM Bracket: The angled design reduces bending stress on shortened tubes and helps ACE Pro buffer movement. ACE Pro Buffer Noise Reduction: Now that this configuration prevents the Teflon tubes from bending down, it helps reduce/eliminate the noise from the buffer and tube movement while printing. No setting change: This does not requi
