Description
This adapter system wraps the edges of a OVV3D 1kg 197x62mm 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
- OVV3D nameplate for easy identification when reusing
Instructions:
- Measure your spool first to ensure it matches the specified dimensions
- Print this model twice for a single spool
- Affix one spool ring adapter on each side of the OVV3D spool
- See attached photos
Notes:
- This model may not fit all OVV3D cardboard spools. Please review the photos and spool measurements before printing.
- An experimental model for spools that measure 199mm in diameter is available under Download or Print > Download STL. The reason this is labeled as experimental is because I haven't tested this model myself. It was designed based on user feedback for a different variation of OVV3D cardboard spools.
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

I kind of wish it were thinner. so it could work with my spool clips. edit: 5stars; thanks to the designer for listing to feedback and being highly responsive.

Thank you for the feedback. The walls of the adapters are already less than 1mm thick so not sure that would be feasible. There are popular filament clip designs that attach to the filament without needing to clip to the spool. I hope this helps!

totally understood. There are many clips out there, but this is the clip I've standardized to:

Please check your DMs. I sent you a modified version of that clip which should fit with the OVV3D adapter. I hope this helps!

It printed nicely, but it was a super tight fit. It took a lot of pressure that ended up deforming the cardboard spool a little to get it on. Not sure if OVV3D changed the size of their spools over time or the model is a little small, but it works anyway.

Thank you for the rating and feedback! If the adapters feel too tight or seem slightly too small it's likely the cardboard spool has expanded from humidity. This is very common even with new spools straight out of the packaging. My go-to solution in this case is to dry the spool in a filament dryer for a few hours to remove any excess moisture from the cardboard and apply the adapters afterwards. There are more details on this topic and other considerations in the model description. I hope this helps!

Printed perfectly first try, a nice snug fit and I'm off happily printing with my ovv3d rolls. Thanks so much!

This printed well, and the original 197mm version perfectly fits the roll of OVV3D Tri-Color Silk PLA I just bought. My AMS was also able to completely close while using this, so even better. Nice work. Thanks for the model and for keeping up with the subtle dimension changes that Bambu and filament makers like to do randomly.

This printed and worked very well. I made it out of TPU for extra traction and it did fine.

Reprinted with ‘experimental’ version in the raw files; Worked perfectly! Thick for longevity and still allows AMS to close! I really trust this designer for high quality designs! — Thanks for working so hard on your designs, it’s truly appreciated! xx Ketta xx

Thank you for the feedback. The primary model was designed based on OVV3D spools measuring 197mm in diameter as stated in the model description. There is another model under "Raw Model Files" that was designed for OVV3D spools measuring 199mm in diameter based on user feedback. I have it labeled as experimental because I haven't tested it myself. Are you able to confirm your spool diameter? This info will be helpful for other users.

I had printed from my phone, so I only saw the one size option. I will pull the experimental one, test it, and then adjust my feedback. I’m currently on a long print, so it will be a moment.

It printed beautifully but it doesn't fit my spool of filament.

Just so you know. If you post a negative review pointing out this one isn’t remotely close to the right size for current ov3d cardboard spools with photographic evidence the model maker will have it removed by claiming it is misinformation and a bad print.

Thank you for the feedback! This model is for 197mm OVV3D cardboard spools. If anyone posts a "negative review pointing out this one isn’t remotely close to the right size" then they didn't read the model title, description, or measure their spool first before printing. OVV3D has more than one spool size. I've only tested with their 197mm spools however based on constructive feedback by other users I've created an experimental model for 199mm OVV3D cardboard spools which is available under "Raw Model Files". I hope this helps!

Technically, the five stars here is for the 199mm experimental file, while otherwise using the profile's settings. That default model is a touch too small, but the 199mm one fit just as good as the other rings I printed from you so far!

Thank you for the rating and feedback! I'm happy to hear the experimental model is working well for other OVV3D spools!
