This was so helpful. Thank you!

what's those extra pieces in the pic?? Also what's the the one small piece that's like half inch and has a slight bend to it???

the small curved piece is used to lockout the spool after assembly, so they lockout in place. the "bolt" is to put through the spool Center, then put the "cone" in place and the nut to press and hold the spool in place. then use the umbraco tool that came with the printer to push through the bolt and firmly fasten your drill to the end stikking out of the end, and you're ready to spool! 😅👍 Can update with picture when I get home from work!

Where did you get 30kg of filament? Is it cheaper?

I have printed over 100 of these. You give a bad rating because you don't understand printing? Kinda sad bruh.

Enlighten me then, what's the issue? Also 3 stars is not a bad rating... I liked how detailed the model was but I couldn't print it. I don't think that I did something wrong, simply because I didn't change anything in the print profile. I just washed my buildplate with warm water and soap and printed it via Handy app, it failed and I decided to give 3 stars. If you haven't noticed yet on this platform you are rating not only a model, but also a print profile. It worked for you? Great! Boost it and rate it with 5 stars, but don't ask me to do the same just because it worked for you 😂

You may need to dry your filament

I'll start printing ASA soon. What did you need to change to avoid warping? Won't the default setting work well?

I had some issues with the default settings. I think the low and wide geometry makes this print more susceptible to warping than most. I think the biggest change I made for ASA was maxing out the bed temp in an attempt to keep the chamber temp higher. This fixed my warping issues 100%.

Amazing -- Thank you!

Another example of someone that doesn't know how to print giving someone else a bad rating because they are clueless. You don't add to the community, you detract from it.

If you don't like the holes there are plenty other spool options that others have made. This is a replica of the Bambu Spool.

Hey there, I think it's a bit unreasonable to scream at someone. The 3D printing community has always been built on community interaction and helping each other. Someone who is new to the hobby would have no reason to know that there is a solution to their problem. While it is not good conduct to give 1 star in this specific instance, there is a much better way to help educate them. The core of this community is built on collaboration and trust, and it would be much better for ensuring the communities continued great culture if you, rather than yelling, attempted to help someone learn. I understand that it is very difficult to stay calm when talking to people with less experience, but please remember that EVERYONE was a noob to 3D printing at some point, and the only way to learn is by having people help. Have a nice day!

Spool lock. Insert it down inside the hub to prevent the pieces from coming apart when loaded with filament. You can find these spool locks to print out and use with standard Bambu spools: https://makerworld.com/en/models/171292?from=search#profileId-188094.

cool thanx

thanks! it was making me crazy!

What settings did you use? My first layer is not looking good, it clumped and had to cancel. I adjusted settings and so far it is looking better, we will see. Mainly having it go super slow but for one side it is sitting at 19 hours of print time. And advice would be appreciated cause yours looks like it came out nicely!

Thanks! So I'm using a clear Inland PETG+, 0.4mm nozzle, textured PEI plate, 15% gyroid infill with just the standard Generic PETG profile so ~5hrs per side (I did try the Bambu PETG Basic profile first which gave me a clumped first layer oddly). Especially for PETG, I did use the glue stick, dry the filament, and clean the bed (or I've flipped the plate) which seems to resolve a lot of weird first layers.

I would recomend that if you are using a textured plate to wash it with dish soap then wipe it down with alchohol and your prints should stick better. I don't know why this works but it does.

what color did u use for the black glitter I love it and where did u get it

Was it printed on textured PEI plate? Also, how do you make that "PLA basic" mark? Is it printed with ams or am I missing something?

Bambu refills come with a sticker indicating the type of refill, which you can then stick onto the spool.

thank you very much!
