Description
DISCLAIMERS:
- Print profiles NOT created by DesignCraft may contain outdated model versions or suboptimal slicer settings. Use at your own risk! I have no control to moderate or remove these third party print profiles.
- This model may not fit all ELEGOO cardboard spools. Please review the photos and spool measurements before printing.
Description:
This adapter system wraps the edges of an ELEGOO 1kg 199x64mm cardboard spool in order to:
- provide smooth rotation within a Bambu Lab AMS
- prevent carboard debris from depositing within a Bambu Lab AMS
Features:
- Reusable
- ELEGOO nameplate for easy identification when reusing
Instructions:
- Measure your spool first to ensure it matches the specified dimensions
- Print this model twice for a single spool
- Affix one spool ring adapter on each side of the ELEGOO spool
- See attached photos
Considerations:
- Print Material: Please print with a basic PLA or PETG to minimize any shrinkage.
- Too Tight? Too Loose? Cardboard expands with humidity and contracts when dried. A cardboard spool that has absorbed too much moisture may cause the adapters to fit very tight. Placing the spool in a filament dryer, such as the SUNLU S2, for a bit should resolve this. Note, you should not dry the spool with the adapters attached as they can warp in the heat. Keep in mind that after a long drying session the adapters may fit too loose. This should resolve itself shortly as the cardboard reabsorbs some moisture from the air.
- AMS Lid Doesn't Close? All of the spool adapters I make are less than the official AMS spool clearance limit of 202mm, as specified on the official AMS product page, and as tested within my own AMS. However, some people have stated their spools are rubbing against the lid with the adapters attached. It's hard to say what's causing this since I cannot reproduce the issue myself, however, I've created an AMS Lid Riser which allows you to keep your AMS lid closed while providing additional clearance for larger filament spools. It's a quick and easy print which you can find on my profile or directly here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/33133

UPDATE: Definitely read all the instructions because even though they were freshly opened spools, the cardboard had indeed expanded and needed to be dried as the designer suggested below. After that, they fit perfectly and work amazingly well! Unfortunately, they were too small. Actually broke them trying to get them on. I was using the Elegoo Rapid PLA+ though so maybe not the same size. The prints came out great though!

Thank you for rating and sorry you're having issues. If the spool measures the same at 199mm in diameter then it's possible the spool has absorbed moisture and expanded a bit. I would try a few hours in a filament dryer to see if that helps. I have some notes related to this in the model description under "Considerations". I will also try to get my hands on an Elegoo Rapid PLA+ spool and run some tests. Thank you for the feedback it's very helpful!

Fair point, I’ll have to get a dryer and try it out. Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I got a dryer and put the spools in there for a few hours and afterwards they fit perfectly! These work great. thank you!

Thank you for the rating and feedback! If the adapters feel too tight to attach it's likely the cardboard spool has expanded from humidity. This is very common even with new spools straight out of the packaging. My go-to solution in this case is to dry the spool in a filament dryer for a few hours to remove any excess moisture from the cardboard and apply the adapters afterwards. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply. Scaling up the model will make it too large to close the AMS lid properly however I do have an AMS Lid Riser model linked in the model description that will provide additional clearance for larger spools. With that said I do highly recommend a filament dryer and would deem it a necessity for anyone who prints frequently. I'm personally to the point where I dry all new spools before printing because new filament usually isn't dry enough for optimal prints. I use Sunlu S2 filament dryers which have been working great. I hope this helps!

works with the most recent ELEGOO PLA+ and ELEGOO rapid PETG spools (as of 4/14/24). you WILL need to dry the elegoo cardboard spool to slightly shrink the cardboard (you should be drying new spools anyways). it’s a nice snug fit and not a forced fit. printed in my x1C using elegoo rapid PETG. works wonders in the AMS and allows the AMS to pull and retract the elegoo spool with ease. no clearance issues.
