Bambu Lab Multi Filament Spool

Introduction

A multi-filament drop-in replacement for the bambulab spool.

You'll be able to insert up to 4 different filament in a single spool. Useful if you have samples or leftover on many spools.

 

 

It is also available a 2 Filament Spool Version here

IMPORTANT: If you have a A1 Mini you must use THIS ONE instead.

What you'll need:

Filament Clip

To stop the filament from unwinding you'll need this filament clip:

AMS PTFE Feeder Cap

Optional but highly recommended to releaf the strain on the filament during spool movements

Suggested model:

The PFTE tube should be 80mm in lenght

 

 

Assembly instructions

  • twist the bambulab spool to open it in half
  • align every spool disk as shown in the illustration, taking care to align the internal channels
  • insert the dovetail stoppers (the 2 trapezoid pieces) inside the channels
  • put together the bambulab spool and twist it back in position the 2 halves


Correct order:

 

N.B. Align all the holes as shown in the figure below

Filament insertion

  • Straighten up the end of the filament
  • Fold at 90 degree angle the last 2-3 mm using a plier.
  • Put the curved filament in the hole
  • Start winding it mantaining tension on the spool for the first couple of turns

Worked without a problem on my P1P. The 2 pins could have been printed on the same plate as one of the rings.

@Giuliolibrando Great idea! I would be interested in how many grams / kilograms can be wound up? Is it the case that 250g per section is possible with the 4er version and 500g per section with the 2er version? And what method for transferring the filament from the old to the new spoole would you recommend?

Thanks. I tested the 4 filament spool with a 150g filament each and there's still room. I think you can go up to 200g safely for sure. 250g would be full to the brim, not ideal

Replying to @LEADERTYP :
if you do not want to print a respooler you can simply put the two spool on 2 tubes and handroll them until all the filament is transferred from the old spool to the multi

great function but design can be better… but working very well, i think that it can be done with smaller amount of filament

Replying to @giuliolibrando :
For me too much pieces to print and after that wall are too thick. Rather have thinner walls of spool to have more storage for fillament. But I looks on you new design and it looks much better! Thumbs up!

The connectors didnt fit Properly. Glued it together

The connector has a tight tolerance, taken in account during the design for the pieces to be firm after the pressfit insite the slot. If you have trouble to insert in it just print the dovetail at 98% scale, this will solve your tolerance problem

The idea is excellent, but all the discs should be enlarged, increasing their diameter as they cannot contain 250 grams of filament, causing the tanglement of the same. If I'm allowed, I could do a remix with the larger discs, but in any case the idea remains very good, the model is just what I was looking for...👍🏼😊

Can someone tell me if by increasing the diameter of the internal disks the project will still work?

Can you adjust the size to fit on the A1 mini? Now is 181.88 x 181.994, just a couple of mm... 178 x 179 will be best. Of course I cannot resize it due to the internal hole... Thank you

The compartments are too thick and waste too much space. Each compartment can only store about 150g of filament.

The separators are thick as the bambulab spool for esthetics. If you need to store more than 150g I made a 2 filament version that probably will better feed your need. This is thought for sample filaments and leftovers, something that tipically doesn’t exceeds the 100g
