Description

This adapter system wraps the edges of a DO3D 1kg 193x65mm 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
  • DO3D nameplate for easy identification when reusing

Instructions:

  • Print this model twice for a single spool
  • Affix one spool ring adapter on each side of the DO3D 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

Ordered this filament for an Iron Man helmet and didn’t notice until I opened them they had cardboard spools. Luckily I found and printed this and it worked perfectly. Both spools fit into two different AMSs. Thanks!

Prints as it should, has to increase the size to 101% to fit my Silk DO3D rolls, but works very slick because the OEM rolls are just a bit to small to properly function in my AMS. Thanks for the awesome file!

Perfect fit but definitely take note of potential shrinkage after it cools depending on your filament. Still worked great for me.

Replying to @DesignCraft :
In my case, the adapter came off during printing. I think that the tolerance on the cardboard might be a bit too low for a consistent fit.

Replying to @Architect :
Thank you for the feedback. Cardboard tends to expand and contract with humidity and also there may be some variances on the manufacturing side. I design the model to have a snug fit and there's also a lip on the adapter designed to help hold it in place but if it's still fitting loose I suggest just using a piece of scotch tape to hold it in place on each side of the spool. Alternatively you can scale the model down slightly, about 0.5% or greater depending on fitment. I hope this helps!
