Description

IMPORTANT: THIS VERSION IS FOR AMS ONLY. FOR THE AMS LITE, PLEASE REFER TO THE SPECIFIC VERSION.

The Universal RFID Spool Adapter is well-designed for using Bambu Lab RFID chips with third-party filament spools.

For your information, the RFID can help the AMS select colors and profiles automatically and track the filament leftovers.

Best of all, it’s compatible with most spools, offering a hassle-free solution for various filaments.

This model is inspired by Universal Spool v2 for Bambu AMS & SpoolCore.

Please consider giving this model a boost; it helps me continue making free models.

Ingeniously designed, prints without issue. However, not suitable for SUNLU filament, its opening is too large. But I have other brands that fit.

Replying to @markgravity :

I added more size of the core: 40, 45, 50mm. Please have a look.

Replying to @markgravity :

Thank you for your swift assistance. Diameters of 40 and 45 mm are well-suited for SUNLU spools. However, the plate is too small; it now falls through the spool opening. The diameter should be 85 mm

@nocturnalprince

excited to try this!

The designer has replied

@markgravity

Thank you! Can't wait to see your results!!

@nocturnalprince

Replying to @markgravity :

most of our filament roll holes were too small to get the fins in. we did it in just plain PLA. should we have used something different?

@markgravity

What is your roll hole diameter?

great design. Works perfectly with all spools that I have tried! love this design.

The designer has replied

@markgravity

Thank you. 🙏

@ender341

Works Awesome, only thing I could think could be better is to make it a top/endcap for a desiccant holder like https://www.printables.com/model/436044-desiccant-spool-tumbler

The designer has replied

@markgravity

Thank you. Let me have a look at it 🙌

Printed well and fast. Modifying the text is simple and overall looks professional. I DID need to scale up the X & Y axis’ of the spool “fan-like” adapters up to 102% as (at least is PTEG) the fitment was too tight. However, after this very minor adjustment it works flawless!

The designer has replied

@markgravity

Thank you! I appreciate it

This is cool, printed it not realizing it wouldn't work for the AMS lite but no biggie.

The designer has replied

@markgravity

Sorry, I dont have the AMS lite to modify the design to make it work with it 🙏

@ChronosWing

It's ok, my fault for obviously not realizing it. I did manage to find one that works, although it's not as fancy. https://makerworld.com/models/715877 I will actually use the RFID badges you made to store my RFIDs though.

Replying to @ChronosWing :

Nice. Glad to hear that. But, how about this one? It looks pretty good: https://makerworld.com/en/models/434740

very good!!

@kickwriteteach

sorry for the issues but I'm trying to print the rfid housing. whenever I try to change the text (PLA -> PETG), it no longer shows up after I slice it. it goes from being a 2 color print to a 1 color print. am I doing something wrong?

The designer has replied

@markgravity

can I have a screenshot of your setup, please? 🙏

(Edited)

@kickwriteteach

Replying to @markgravity :

what exactly would be helpful to see?

@markgravity

Replying to @kickwriteteach :

My bad, I have some issues on the RFID Housing file, I just updated it also the Change RFID Housing Text intrucstion. Please have a look on it.

@kickwriteteach

it turns out that my regular supplier of filament uses spools with a really small diameter - about 53mm. I tried inserting the spool adapter in but worry that it's going to snap. do I need a smaller one?

The designer has replied

@markgravity

The minimum supported diameter is 40mm, so it should work on your side 🙏

@kickwriteteach

Replying to @markgravity :

hmmm, is there any trick to inserting the fins into the hole? I'm worried they will snap. I printed it out of generic PLA, if that matters.

@kickwriteteach

Replying to @markgravity :

nevermind, I got it in! do I need to put one on each side of the spool?
