Description

Universal and Customizable SCAD Cardboard AMS Spool Adapter.

You enter the Messurements (Cardboard Diameter and Thickness) and get the right model for your Spool.

With this customizable SCAD version of a spool adapter there is no need to find a fitting one.

Always find the right size, no matter if the supplier changed the size. Just take a quick messurement and print the right size.

Caution: If you use the optional Filament Clip inclusion make sure to print it only once and have it on the right side of the spool inside the AMS to prevent interference!

How to Print:

Make Custom *.STL files by entering the dimensions.
Download my Print Profile and replace the STL files with the custom ones (remove objects and drag new files into slicer).
Using my Profile gives the chance to rate the print, enables “Thin Wall detection” and “Scarf joint seam” setting and gives me Makerworld points.

Only the following Parameters need to be changed:

leave “clip_count” at 0 to print without clip. Set it to 1 to add a Filament clip. Set it to 2 to add two Filament clips. Remember to only print clips on one side (must be on right side!).

Aditional Parameters are Optional!

Updates:

Optional 2nd Clip on the opposite side (with Slider)
More Consistency on the Clip at different Cardboard Thickness
Optional Text with size of the diameter for better reuse
Added optional Parameter to increase grip on spool
Added more optional Clips (up to 6) - Thanks to @DaddyBuiltIt

It only worked on one of my rolls. Needs a way to snap on and stay there.

Thanks for the feedback. I added an "increase grip" parameter under Optional to increase the size that holds on the inner side of the Spool where it is supposed to snap on. Since this is at a 90° angle it may need to print slower and inner walls first to not have overhang issues. I never had the issue but i also messured all spools and made sure to print a tight fit. Sometimes same Brand Filaments have different spool Diameters which is the reason i made it customizable in the first place.

Replying to @mkaiserle :

SOUNDS GOOD!

@DaddyBuiltIt

Nice! Though, I had to adjust it because `circle` has no `center` parameter on my OpenSCAD (?? even on a 2024.06 dev snapshot). I also wanted more filament clips, so I used this: ``` //Remove not needed sides from Torus clip_arc = 10 * clip_count; for (i=[1:1:clip_count]) { rotate([0, 0, (360/clip_count) * i]) rotate_extrude(angle=(360 - clip_arc)/clip_count, convexity = 1, $fn=500) translate([diameter/2-0.6-1, spool_thickness, 0]) circle(r = 3, $fn=50); } ``` Probably about 6 clips is a sensible maximum. Printing as a test, I'd probably choose 4.

Thanks for the Input. It's the first time i used OpenSCAD so i'm sure there are more elegant ways to realise this but it was a great learning experience and it works. I didn't like the Preview inside the OpenSCAD Software so i did it in the MakerLab version of OpenSCAD (also for compatibility reasons since i wanted it on makerworld). So i don't actually know if there are issues if you use the Code outside of the MakerLab OpenSCAD. I hope you don't mind if i take your code for the clip count and add it.
