Creality Automatic filament feeder when the next filament runs out

Creality Automatic Filament Feeder AF-01 is an automatic filament feeding and spool replacement system designed to reduce 3D printing interruptions due to filament running out. The device can automatically switch printing from a nearly empty spool to a spare one, making it especially useful for long and continuous printing jobs.

• Automatic filament switching – when the filament runs out, the system automatically switches to a backup spool.
• Auto Refill – less manual maintenance during long printing runs.
• Utilization of remaining filament residues – partially remaining spools can be used more efficiently.
• 7 optical sensors – accurately monitor the position and movement of the filament.
• High-torque dual-gear extruder – stable and reliable filament supply.
• 6.25:1 reduction ratio – higher torque and reliable filament pushing.
• One-button filament ejection – for more convenient spool or material changes.
• Wide compatibility – designed for a variety of Creality FDM 3D printers.

The AF-01 monitors the amount of filament in the spool being used. When the first spool is almost empty, the system can automatically switch the filament supply to the backup spool. This helps to avoid printing interruptions due to an empty spool and is especially useful for long-running prints.

The Automatic Filament Feeder allows you to use even partially remaining filament spools. The remaining filament can be connected to another filament supply, reducing the amount of leftover material and unused spools.

The device is equipped with 7 optical sensors that monitor the position and movement of the filament. Three status indicators allow you to quickly assess the device's operating status and alerts.

The AF-01 uses a dual-gear extruder with hardened, wear-resistant gears. The 6.25:1 reduction ratio ensures high torque and stable filament feeding, even during frequent filament loading and unloading operations.

The AF-01 can be used in multi-color printing processes with compatible FDM printers. However, unlike the Creality CFS multi-position material system, changing colors requires manual filament cutting. Therefore, the AF-01 is primarily designed for automatic filament feeding and spool changing, rather than fully automated multi-material management.

The AF-01 is designed to be integrated without complex modifications. Installation is done by connecting the filament connectors to the extruder adapters, PTFE tubing to the output, and a power supply. The manufacturer's description states that there is no need for complex wiring or firmware changes.

The AF-01 is compatible with a variety of Creality FDM 3D printers, including K1, K1 Max, K1C, K1 SE, K2, K2 Pro, K2 Plus, K2 SE, Creality Hi, Ender-3 V3, Ender-3 V3 Plus, Ender-3 V3 SE, and Ender-3 V3 KE. It is recommended to check the compatibility of your specific printer and the required adapters before installation.

The Creality Automatic Filament Feeder AF-01 is recommended for users who print long models and want to reduce the risk of print interruptions due to a run-out spool. It is also useful for more efficient use of filament leftovers and automating filament feeding on compatible Creality 3D printers.
