Description

Update 3/10/24:

Spool Weight
No change to spool adapter but based on feedback, on issues with very small/light spools like the 120mm ones, I've remixed and tested spool weight that sits inside the spools hole and adds some extra weight to prevent the spool from hopping on the forward AMS roller and getting stuck.  This isn't so much an  issue with the spool adapter, more then an issue with the AMS's design being prone to this issue which I've experience on larger spools as well without the adapter in use, but regardless, the weight should help.

 

V2.1 Update 2/20/24:

-Added small extension ‘arms’ forward of 120mm slot to limit side to side movement off the roller when using small/narrow spools.

-Additional reworking and shaving of roller slot side brackets to provide better fitment when two adapters are installed side-by-side.

 

V2 - Update 2/11/24

 

Reworked the model a bit to merge both 120mm and 160mm version into a single adjustable spool adapter that maintains the support system under the adapter, as well as my other improvements. Also integrated the Bambu Lab logo that gives it nice, finished look.

 

 

 

Based upon excellent work by @fredck_445523 and @BilliePalmer_544273.

 

I likes the improvements made here but had two problems. First one of the legs would repeatedly break off half way through printing, no matter what settings I adjusted. Second, I found that it didn't even end up fitting the spool size I needed as I have several 120mm spools of SUNLU PETG .25Kg that I wanted a better solution for then the giant wheel/spool adapter I'd previously tried. After a bit of tweaking, I feel I've both improved on the original design and have addressed the issue of the leg breaking off by adding an additional arched brace between both sides' legs, that keeps everything held together from the very beginning of print and eliminates all issues with the leg breaking off.

Printed and fit PERFECTLY!!! Used almost all original settings (cant remember what I changed, for my own preference). Slips into place easily and snug, and holds roller firmly in whichever position it is placed. Unfortunately, I don't currently have any open small rolls, but that should be "remedied" in the next few days. I'll be printing 3 more of these, for the other AMS positions also!!! Printed in Overture PLA Orange and Bambu Basic PLA Black.

Fantastic print. Well designed. I've tried a few other designs but this one definitely is the strongest. Supported nicely on the bottom of the AMS. Well done.

Amazing! I tried to print the original model 3 times with different settings and the legs broke off every single time. This one worked flawlessly.

Worked good at the start and throughout printing but reeling back in the spool didn't roll well on the front rollers causing a tangled mess. Using a narrow 250g spool.

This seems to be an issue with the AMS's gears binding causing front rollers to stick. I think it's related to the lack of weight of small spools. Made this and have been testing it and seems to help: https://makerworld.com/en/models/243908#profileId-260440

Have my P1S just one day and this was my first print for my Sunlu PLA .25 KG spools. Print perfect and fits like a glove. Currently running a new print with the .25kg spools.
