Description
DISCLAIMERS:
- Print profiles NOT created by DesignCraft may contain outdated model versions or suboptimal slicer settings. Use at your own risk! I have no control to moderate or remove these third party print profiles.
- INLAND PLA+ spools have recently been reported by several users to be slightly larger. If your spool diameter is greater than 199mm please scale the models to 100.6% and leave a comment if this works for you. I don't have a matching spool to test so your feedback is important!
Description:
This adapter system wraps the edges of an INLAND 1kg 199x64mm cardboard spool in order to:
- provide smooth rotation within a Bambu Lab AMS
- prevent carboard debris from depositing within a Bambu Lab AMS
Features:
- Reusable
- INLAND nameplate for easy identification when reusing
Instructions:
- Print INLAND.A for the left-hand side and INLAND.B for the right-hand side
- Affix to each respective side of the INLAND spool
- See attached photos
Notes:
- The reason for separate models is that the spool's wall width is thicker on the side with the branding label.
- I'm not sure if all INLAND spools are wound in the same direction so if the branding label is on the opposite side you may need to swap the rings from what I have here in the instructions.
- It may help if you remember that INLAND.B is for the Branding side of the spool.
Considerations:
- Print Material: Please print with a basic PLA or PETG to minimize any shrinkage.
- Too Tight? Too Loose? Cardboard expands with humidity and contracts when dried. A cardboard spool that has absorbed too much moisture may cause the adapters to fit very tight. Placing the spool in a filament dryer, such as the SUNLU S2, for a bit should resolve this. Note, you should not dry the spool with the adapters attached as they can warp in the heat. Keep in mind that after a long drying session the adapters may fit too loose. This should resolve itself shortly as the cardboard reabsorbs some moisture from the air.
- AMS Lid Doesn't Close? All of the spool adapters I make are less than the official AMS spool clearance limit of 202mm, as specified on the official AMS product page, and as tested within my own AMS. However, some people have stated their spools are rubbing against the lid with the adapters attached. It's hard to say what's causing this since I cannot reproduce the issue myself, however, I've created an AMS Lid Riser which allows you to keep your AMS lid closed while providing additional clearance for larger filament spools. It's a quick and easy print which you can find on my profile or directly here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/33133

This is a great print. One thing I noticed is that Inland has different spools. This works well where the “window” on the spool is more square. But on the spools where the window is more elongated, it is too small.

Thank you for the feedback and I appreciate the picture to show the difference! I'm curious as to whether the spools measure different diameters. It's very common that cardboard spools, even new ones straight out of the packing, will have expanded from humidity. If you happen to have a filament dryer and end up drying the PLA+ spool please try the adapters afterward. The cardboard should contract after a drying session.

They are definitely different spools. The Inland PLA spool can actually work with the Bambu reusable spools if you just tear the outer cardboard off. I made the mistake of thinking I could do the same with the PLA+ spool and found the inner cardboard spool was too small to fit the Bambu reusable spool. So the inner and outer diameters are different between PLA and PLA+. I believe they are different OEMs. It’s rumored that their PLA+ is from eSun.
But if you get a chance, please try your rings on Inland PLA+. Would love to have your version of rings on my Inland PLA+ in the future.
Thanks for your great work!

Thank you for letting me know! I'll see if I can get my hands on that specific spool type.

any luck in creating the bigger rings for inland high speed PLA? or if you have already my bad I haven't looked

Please try scaling the models up to 100.6% percent. This has been working well for people with the larger versions of Inland spools.

I'm blown away by how well this worked! It fit tight but PERFECTLY slipped over the cardboard edge. Very impressed!

About halfway through the print and have had 3 failures to retract on this spool. I don't think it's your design, I just think these cardboard Inland 199mm diameter spools are a PITA for the AMS but I couldn't find this color otherwise. When it fails, I think filament is getting stuck between the edge and AMS top. I notice it doesn't seem to roll forward and back on a steady axis and instead wobbles back and forth. I think it's just the cardboard sides. I might need to respool or try to adapt it to a plastic spool my ripping off the sides.
I don't think your design could fix this - just nature of cardboard.

Thank you for the feedback! While the diameter of the adapters is less than the AMS lid clearance of 202mm it's possible the spool is rubbing the lid as some other have reported. This will cause the issue you've described. Try leaving the lid unlatched or slightly cracked. I've also created an AMS Lid Riser model linked in the model description. I have a few wobbly cardboard spool that still work in the AMS as long as there's no obstruction. I hope this helps!

I also had the issue with the the spools being too large. I made it better by putting in a small amount of TPU filament in the AMS gasket. Alternatively for me locking the filament lid was the difference between it working and not working.

Thank you for the rating and sharing some tips! Unfortunately the AMS units do seem to have slight variances. I have multiple units and some seem to be true to the 202mm lid clearance and others a tiny bit less.

I think the greater variance is in Inland's spool size. These rings worked great on my older spools, but didn't quite fit a new batch of PETG+ I picked up.

If the spool measures 199mm in diameter and the adapters still feel too tight try drying the spool in a filament dryer for a few hours. Cardboard expands from humidity and it's very common even with new spools straight out of the packaging. I hope this helps!

works good. I still get problems with closing my ams and having retraction issues but not much.

Thank you for sharing your make and rating! If the lid is rubbing the spools that's most likely what's causing the retraction issue. While the diameter of the adapters is less than the AMS lid clearance spec of 202mm, some do experience this issue. You can resolve this by leaving the lid slightly cracked. Alternatively, I have an AMS Lid Riser model linked in the model description. I hope this helps!

I've been leaving it cracked for now but will check out you mod. Ty!

Worked great. No printing issues on the AMS since installing. The text came out a little messy, but it functions perfectly and fits snug. Will definitely be printing more to keep from having to re-spool.

Have printed at 100% for the Inland PLA spools with the larger window in the cardboard and at 100.6% for the PLA+ and PLA High Speed with the smaller window in the cardboard. Prints fit perfectly at these sizes.

Thank you for confirming that scaling up for those spool types is working well, and the AMS Lid Riser looks great also!

Beautiful tight fit on Inland flament. Using on eSUN cardboard roll as well with great results!
