Description

I recently upgraded and bought my second printer (Bambu Lab X1C) and not only am I finding that I want to do prints on each printer with the same filament but some of my spools don't fit the AMS system.

A lot of the existing respooler tools I found online were convoluted and required many parts and their own setup space. I wanted something that was quick, simple, and didn't take up space.

This tool requires a 3/8" (9.5mm) Socket adaptor drill bit to simply plug into the end of the respooler, pull the trigger, and bam! Respooled.

Just make sure that you set the drill to speed 1, and torque 6. Anything higher will risk the kickback destroying the print.

DO NOT RECCOMEND using on anything greater than a 1kg spool with provided settings, really beef up the perimeters and infill of the whole thing if you do want to try!

 

If you like what I'm doing and want to help me keep doing it feel free to Buy me a Nozzle :)

 

Hardware Requirements:

 

Print Instructions:

  • Any Layer Height
  • 15-20% Infill
    • Some strength is needed
  • Add modifier around drill bit hole to make 5 perimeters
    • 2 Perimeters will lead to the kickback breaking the print

The 3mf file provided includes the required modifier!

Happy Respooling!

@Alexanderwrobin - When I download the designer's .3mf file and then import into Bambu Studio it includes a rectangular block that I don't see in any of the other prints or parts associated with this. I cannot delete this block within Bambu Studio either. I've attached an image showing my BB Studio view. Does anyone have an idea what this extra block is and what I did wrong to end up with this? I even loaded it to my x1c and printed, it printed this rectangle; and when I tried to use the "cancel object", the rectangle is not shown as an object to cancel. Thanks for the design and any feedback to help sort out my goof up.

Can you see on the left the color white from the AMS? Then press -. And the Tower should be gone :D

@Lenny - Thank you, deleting the white filament as you suggested did remove the object. I did some research and found out this is a "prime tower" for re-establishing the correct pressure in the nozzle after a filament change and purge. This really threw me for a loop since I simply loaded the .3mf and did not realize there were two filaments in the project since there was only one color for the two parts being printed. In this case, your suggestion of deleting the unused filament seems to be the best approach, I'm baffled why it was there in the first place but... I also learned the prime tower can be modified or disabled under the options tab in BL Studio. If anyone else comes across this and stumbles on it like I did, there's a good thread discussion on it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/BambuLab/comments/y70utn/removing_the_extra_block_when_multicolor_printing/

The respooler tool works amazingly well. There was a couple of times it came loose during the spinning but it was no problem to stop and tighten it back up. Getting the hang of lining up the filament is a whole other skillset! LOL!

Yeah lining up filament is always the hardest part but all I wanted when making this was a really quick print that was 90% reliable and I think thats what I achieved!

Dimensionally accurate and fits the respooler really snug. Used it for +/- 8 times before taking the picture so it's already a bit worn out. But I'm sure it will hold for a while. Printed in white Bambu PLA Tough.
