Description

Upgrade your Bambu Lab A1 Mini with this innovative spool holder replacement that features a built-in print-in-place bearing mechanism for exceptionally smooth filament feeding. This thoughtfully designed modification offers several advantages over the stock spool holder:

Key Features:

Integrated print-in-place ball bearing system for ultra-smooth rotation
Tool-free assembly with simple snap-fit installation
Optimized design for stable filament spool support
Compatible with standard filament spool sizes
Reduces filament feeding resistance during printing
Minimal parts for maximum reliability

Print Settings:

No ( or just a tiniest) supports needed
Standard layer height (0.2mm recommended)

Installation: Simply remove the original spool holder and snap the new parts together. The intuitive design makes assembly a breeze with no tools required.

This upgrade is perfect for makers who want to enhance their A1 Mini's performance with smoother filament feeding while maintaining the printer's clean aesthetic. The print-in-place bearing design eliminates the need for additional hardware while providing superior rotation compared to the stock holder.

I was looking to print an entirely new spool holder and not use the one the A1 Mini comes with, since I already had that one mounted on the top of my A1 Mini. This one was the only option I could find, but man it works great! I had zero issues printing with Sunlu PLA White. I was a little worried about it holding up under the weight of a full spool, but it has done awesome so far! The bearings roll exactly as needed. If you're looking to print an entirely new spool holder, print this one!
