Bambu Lab Filament Spool Rewinder: A Simple and Beginner-Friendly Solution

Tired of AMS jams caused by poorly wound Bambu Lab refills? Meet the Bambu Lab Filament Spool Rewinder: a straightforward, easy-to-print tool designed to help you rewind filament spools without the hassle of over-engineered designs or complex hardware requirements.

Why This ReWindr Stands Out:

• Simple, Functional Design: Inspired by the B-Lab 3D rewinder, this model refines the concept into a spool-shaped rewinder specifically for Bambu Lab spools. It uses a straightforward rewinding mechanism that’s beginner-friendly and requires no additional hardware.
• Tailored for Bambu Spools: Designed exclusively for Bambu Lab refills, it features a roller bolt and nut system fine-tuned for precise compatibility. Adjustments for other brands may be added in the future if there’s enough interest.
• Flat-Packable & Modular: The body consists of three parts that connect using dovetail joints, ensuring each piece is easy to print flat on the bed. The modular design also allows for compact storage when disassembled.

Features & Customization:

• Dual Winding Options: Use the included winding handle for manual operation or a hex key to attach a drill or screwdriver for faster rewinding.
• Optimized Print Time: Two versions are available—one with decorative holes throughout the side pieces (over 5 hours print time each) and a faster version with holes only on the first two layers (saves 2 hours per side).
• Mounting Flexibility: The base features four countersunk holes, allowing you to secure it to a table with screws for added stability.

Important Considerations:

• Plastic-on-Plastic Friction: Without hardware, this rewinder doesn’t match the durability of premium options like the V-Spooler or Pastamatic. For smoother operation and extended lifespan, consider applying a small amount of grease to the rollers.
• Material Recommendations: To ensure longevity, print using high-temperature filaments like ABS, ASA, or PC.
• Dual Setup for Optimal Use: For maximum efficiency, print two rewinders—one to feed the filament and one to carry the rewound spool.

Disclaimer:

This rewinder is designed for occasional use and prioritizes simplicity over longevity. If you’re seeking a long-term solution or plan to rewind frequently at high speeds, alternatives like the V-Spooler may be better suited.

Perfect for beginners and those looking for an easy, no-frills way to manage their Bambu Lab filament spools, this rewinder delivers functionality and simplicity without breaking the bank.
