Description

Wraps the edges of a California Filament 1kg cardboard spool with 199mm diameter and 3.5mm thickness

Features

  • Improves contact and rotation in the AMS
  • Protective layer to prevent cardboard from deteriorating and cardboard dust damaging the AMS
  • Integrated filament clip (optional)
  • Name clearly visible to identify what spool it is for
  • Sturdy design - I found that many other designs were too thin and broke easily when removed.
  • Avoids blocking filament holes in the cardboard spool

Instructions

  • Measure your spool first to ensure the diameter matches the adapter (199x3mm)
  • The ‘right' ring has the filament clip must be on the right side when the spool is in the AMS.
  • If you don't need the filament clip, print two ‘left’ rings.
  • See photos

Notes

  • Print Material: I recommend PETG or PHA as they are more flexible and less prone to breakage.

This printed just fine, but did not fit the spool as snug as I thought it would. I really like the idea of the built in filament clip! I measured before printing, but the rings were coming loose in the AMS. Printed in PLA.

Thanks for letting me know. Let me open some more of my spools to check. Maybe I tested on one that's just a bit big.

@3DSlinger I just uploaded an updated 'Snug Fit' version based on my newer ribbed edge. I decreased the diameter by 0.5mm and the edge by 0.25mm for a more snug fit. Please try it out and let me know how it works for you.
