Description

I have combined the best features (in my opinion) of the many previous remixes of the Bambu Lab reuseable spool.

 

I started with the refactored “Bambu X1 Re-Usable Spool” as a base, then added the best features of the “Improved Bambu Lab Reusable Spool Holder” (everything except the heavier hex pattern), both of which were remixed from “Bambu Lab Reusable Spool Holder Hex Remix”.

I added an additional label space on the other spool half. I like to have both sides labeled, (trust me it saves time). I also tilted the 6 pairs of holes all around the rim at 45deg to make it easier to secure the loose filament end (and not crimp it so you end up trimming it off later).

Added a remaining filament measurement marks. These .2kg marks match the positions that Bambu Lab has on their spools. Even so, these are estimates at best.


The shim STL is the one from BambuLab's original. Print two.

 

Update III 11-19-22: Added a remaining filament measurement marks. These .2kg marks match the positions that Bambu Lab has on their spools. Even so, these are estimates at best.

Added to the following STLs:
Bambu Lab Reusable Spool Remix Four-Short-V6.stl
Bambu Lab Reusable Spool Remix Four-Tall-V6.stl
Bambu Lab Reusable Spool Hex Snowflake Tall - label v2.st

Do not use ‘adaptive layer height’ as that will flatten these marks and numbers out.

 

UPDATE II 10-24-22: Corrected Tall Snowflake side to have proper pattern alignment with short side (cosmetic correction). Provided two versions of the Tall Snowflake half. One with label space, one without.

 

UPDATE II 9-30-22: Added lightweight ‘Snowflake’ version of the Spool!

 

UPDATE 9-30-22: Corrected missing alignment tab on tall half of the spool. Cleaned up other minor imperfections on both halves. Set the spool diameter to 200mm to match that of the Bambu Lab versions. Added the bambulab_spool_spacing_shim.stl (print two). Current is V5.

UPDATE 9-27-22: Based upon feedback I have decreased the diameter of the center spindles to match those of other Bambu Lab reusable spools.

 

UPDATE 9-14-22: I have repaired the short side to be a more manageable size (was 9MB).

I have been printing this snowflake reusable spool with great success. Very happy with the design. No warping. Lock together very well. Here are my settings: Printed on X1-C Sunlu ABS Black 0.02mm Strength @BBL X1C Outer Brim Only: 8mm with 0.1 gap Initial layer: 50 mm/s Outer wall: 60 mm/s Wall loops: 6 Hot End temp: 260 deg C Bed temp: 100 deg C (tried 110 deg and very difficult to remove calibration) Model time: 3 hr 45 mins per each side (approx.) Allow bed to cool slowly below 40 deg C before attempting to remove

Was traveling with my printer and needed a spool for a refill roll. This worked great!

Spool worked out perfectly! Was traveling with my printer and didn’t have any spare spools. Used this file to print so I could use a refill filament I had.

my default spool if I ever need to print one Note: if you ever want to dry your filament, use PETG or ABS, as PLA will deform as it heats up

Excellent spool. I like the minimalistic approach to reduce filament usage, but great design and as expected, works perfectly in the AMS. I also thought the locking pieces to stop an unlikely unlocking of the spool, is a very nice touch. already printed a dozen out.
