Adapter for Bambu Lab refill
The reason this adapter came alive is a poor mistake of mine:
I've ordered my first set of filaments as refill without the reusable spool (that also has been out of stock for a while).
Found printable solution are too large in terms of diameter for the A1 Mini so I ended up ordering a set of eSUN reusable spool for the sidewalls and designed a solution to match with the already available filament.
Present solution based on the application of the two sidewalls of an eSUN reusable spool kit. The model utilizes two twist-lock caps (Lockring.stl) with recessed outer wallt to fit the original A1Mini spool holder. The adapter body (spool_body.stl) designed for Bambu Lab's refill.
The application is simple:
- Place one of the eSUN sidewalls onto a lock ring. Make sure it fits with the right diameter and the smooth surface faces inwards.
- Grab the spool body and twist the previous subassembly on it tightly.
- Take the Bambu Lab refill and follow their instructions for the application.
- Place the second sidewall on the leftover locking similar to the other side.
- Secure the other side too with the twisting motion.
- Make sure both the sidewalls are secured by the lock ring.
- Now follow the instructions included with the Bambu Lab refill.
I hope you find my solution useful and had a good time manufacturing and using it.
Cheers,
