I don't have a system with an AMS yet, though the one for my Elagoo CC is supposed to be announced in the near future. I've heard of the problems that ill-fitting spools can cause in the AMS.
The AMS pro rolls the filament and when it's cardboard. It does not end well. I have to wrap it with a cover. Easily printed or transfer transferred to an empty Bambu plastic spool. AMS on a single filament holder. I find that the bamboo plastic filament just rolled better where the cardboard sometimes can get caught and makes the fill in harder to pull.
Ams lite. I feel the same. I just don't have as much success with cardboard spools

Thank you for this information because my H2D and AMS Pro are going to be arriving today and I have purchased some creality PLA hyper series filament because it came pretty cheap with the PiSpace X4 filament dryer I purchased in addition to a huge discount on the filament storage box creality sales. If anybody knows how to modify or make these spools work with the new AMS unit please let me know
Some pro tips from mistakes I've made w/ these adapters:
Measure your spool as they often have slightly different adapters that are 1-2 mm smaller.
When drying, DRY FIRST before printing adapters because often the cardboard shrinks or warps a little changing the diameter.
Ime in the AMS, always print the flat profile, I've printed the rounded profile once and didn't realize for a bit that it was rubbing against the cover. I've never had an issue with the PLA adapters I've printed in "gripping" the rollers in the AMS.
Be careful when drying with these adapters if you print out of PLA. I had a roll of PETG with PLA adapters and when drying at 70C, the adapters sort of melted and became unusable.
I bough some 3DHOJOR Silk Gold awhile back and absolutely love it, was surprised how well it looked! Loved the comment from another poster in this thread that this is one of the best gold silks they've seen...in for 4! I have a filament problem as well...since starting end of last year I have ~100 rolls with ~ half open and in 3 dry boxes...such a fun hobby, I had no idea how addicting it would be...

As mentioned, the adapters print super quick, so I'd do that first thing with your printer.
I don't have the newest AMS pro that came out with H2D
