Description

Bambu Lab Multi Filament Spool

Introduction

A multi-filament drop-in replacement for the bambulab spool.

You'll be able to insert up to 2 different filament in a single spool. Useful if you have samples or leftover on many spools.

It is also available a 4 Filament Spool Version here

IMPORTANT: If you have a A1 Mini you must use THIS ONE instead.

What you'll need:

Filament Clip

To stop the filament from unwinding you'll need this filament clip:

AMS PTFE Feeder Cap

Optional but highly recommended to releaf the strain on the filament during spool movements

Suggested model:

https://www.printables.com/model/308399-bambu-ams-feeder-pfte-adapter-remix/files

The PFTE tube should be 80mm in lenght

Assembly instructions

twist the bambulab spool to open it in half
align every spool disk as shown in the illustration, taking care to align the internal channels
insert the dovetail stoppers (the 2 trapezoid pieces) inside the channels
put together the bambulab spool and twist it back in position the 2 halves

Filament insertion

Straighten up the end of the filament
Fold at 90 degree angle the last 2-3 mm using a plier.
Put the curved filament in the hole
Start winding it mantaining tension on the spool for the first couple of turns

How does it work on the pastamatic?

@sirfragalot

Replying to @giuliolibrando :

I had to manually guide the filament as the lead screw runs the full width. I think with a longer Ptfe it would be fine.

@giuliolibrando

Replying to @sirfragalot :

I'll try to remix the lead screw guide to be compatible with the 2 filament spool

Hey giuliolibrando, this is AMAZING!!!! Thanks so much for sharing it!! So perfect I can't believe it's not more common. I actually did a stupid simple manual "remix" where I just stretched out the center portions of the 4X one to be 10mm each, and then glued them back to back as 3 sets(20mm per sub-spool, so 60mm total), functionally making 3 tiny independent spools. They each fit 250g small spools of PLA perfectly like that, and the angle for the outside ones seems to be a bit more reasonable than the 4X sub spools. And since they are totally independent, I can take them off and on, change order, etc. It's really wonderful! I'd love to share that version with folks too, but I can't open the 3mf files in my home use version of fusion 360. Any chance you can share the step files or the like? Or else if you want to make a version like I'm talking about with just the torsion notch in the center portions as well as then end that would work too (since I just did that bit with a drummer ;-) Anyway, thanks again! Totally awesome idea. It's a game changer for folks who like a lot of colors.

I love your idea! I'm printing right now a new modular version modded exactly like you described. I'll update you on the result tonight and I'll surely make it available for the community if it works, that would even better than now for sure

@giuliolibrando

Hi, modular model published! https://makerworld.com/it/models/59357#profileId-61369 Hope it matches what was in your mind. I mentioned you in the project as the inventor I added the notch to both halves so its always in the right position, all the spools are friction held once closed the bambu spool and the segments have a thread that screws into the other half of the piece

Oh goodness, that's fantastic!!!! I LOVE the thread together connection too, and the notches on both sides (definitely a gotcha with my hacked together version;-). Hahahah, this is wonderful, thanks for whipping that up! I went to try to find this thread so I could see if you had maybe seen the note, and to my surprise stumbled the new version that was better than I even had in mind. Love it. AWESOME & THANKS!!!!!
