A simple side spool holder for the Bambu Lab X1 Carbon
Update: Created a small bracket to hold the Bambu 4-in-1 PTFE Adapter, which fits nicely on the side spool holder.

Updated PLA and PETG Profiles!
This version includes the following updates:
• Left hand threads for spindle holders - should avoid any chance of unscrewing while in use.
• Better thread fit - Threads were a bit tight, this fixes that.
• Sacrificial layer to help with screw hole ledge.
• Smoothed edges on basic spindle holder.
• Multiple build plates for easier printing the parts you need with different settings.
I've made two spindle holders for it. One fits the Bambu Labs Green AMS Spindle holder, and the second fits the basic spindle holder that comes with your X1 Carbon.
The spindle which holds the AMS Spool holder is nice as it incorporates a nice click mechanism to hold it on as well as it incorporates the auto rewind spring mechanism of the AMS spool holders. This works very well.
This is the one you need - ensure you get the Green one: https://ca.store.bambulab.com/products/ams-lite-rotary-spool-holder?variant=44244705378544
You can choose which spindle holder you like and simply screw it onto the main base.
This design uses a PC4-M10 fitting for the filament. This is what I bought: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07L8R4SMG
The spool holder screws onto the existing Bambu Lab screw locations and uses four M3x12mm Hex bolts.
If you use the basic spool holder attachment, it also uses two M3x12mm bolts and two M3 nuts.
Update: jmaestrale has confirmed this works with the P1S as well.
Print settings:
The spool holder is designed to print without any supports!
I've printed this in PLA and it works well for my use.
The components are printed with different settings appropriate for their function.

Screw in the spool adapter onto the base plate, then screw in the M10 fitting into the base plate and attach a length of filament tubing and attach to the intake on the back of the printer - note you will need to unplug the tubing from the AMS if you are using an AMS while printing from the side spool holder.
