P1S AMS and Inlaid filament
Any experience using Inlaid filament or other generic with the AMS system. Many are failing on rack 3 and I think it may be due to the actual roll that the filament is using. Bambu rolls seem to be flawless, but I'd like to use some other generic brands without having to re spool them onto an empty Bambu roll.

My monitor is acting strange. Can someone help me figure out what might be causing it?
I don't have a picture or screenshot of it because I don't think to do that when I spot this happening, but I'll do my best to describe it.
