INTRODUCTION - PLEASE READ

______________________________________________________________________________________________

Hi guys,

after some annoying comments I decided to write a small introduction. The majority of users is very pleasent and respectful. We - the makers / designers - do this as hobby and share our ideas with you. Sometimes a model is not perfect from the very start but the most of us designers stand behind the model and do everything to satisfy you. This site lives from sharing & voting. So - let's come to the point → VOTING. Voting is an essential part of the community but only a very few people are doing this. Most of the time the ones who also know how important this mechanism is.

But sometimes - and in my eyes BambuLab is causing this with their voting benefits - you got some bad votes from level 2-6 users. Criticism is absolutely welcome BUT- PLEASE - first of all think about whether you are the person driving on the wrong lane instead of thinking all the others are doing this. When a model or profile has 5 stars and you give a 2 or a 3 star rating then may have in mind to find the error on your setup!

All the issues which where mentioned in some comments where already adressed in the description text. So please - first of all - READ the description of the model you print. Not only my stuff but also all the others. 3D printing has become easier with BambuLab but it is sometimes still necessary to read instructions.

To all the newbies → do not expect your printer is a magic machine wich does not need any care. If you are experiencing problems where others don't may check this list first before giving a bad vote:

• have you read the description of the model you are printing?
• have you cleaned the print bed?
• is your filament dry enough? (even Bambu recommends 8h drying before using any filament!)
• is your bed correctly leveled?
• are you using the right print profile for your filament?
• do you use normal / sport or ludicrous mode?
• have you contacted the designer?

..giving a bad vote for just earning points not having checked this list is absolutely unfair! in the end all the makers are frustrated and will no longer share their cool stuff with you!

DESCRIPTION STARTS HERE:

rather reminds me of a salt & pepper shaker :P

these boxes are designed for bambu-spools. they may also fit into others.

• (EDIT: 04.03.2025, 11:00 Germany) NEW NEW NEW → AirFlow Ultimate

  I created a new container with max. airflow, more stability, easier threads and less print time :) It is not falling out of the spool but can be removed easily. I tested it with about 20 spools (these have also tolerances) and it was working like a charm.

• V1 - RECOMMENDED FOR STORAGE USE: v1 moves within the bambu-spool → print profile [v1 loose] → EDIT - 28.12.2023 18:46 Germany: I updated the profile and changed the lid's thread. there should be no more stringing at all. if you still have problems please read the introduction.

• V2 - RECOMMENDED FOR AMS USE: v2 sits tight within the bambu-spool → print profile [v2 tight] → ATTENTION: BE GENTLE WHEN REMOVING FROM SPOOL. ONLY PUSH THE LID & ONLY PUSH AT THE WALLS!

In any cases the lid screws too tight → screw it gently on and off a few times. It will fasten more and more.

EDIT: 23.12.2023 16:57: ..I did some other testprints with variable speeds. With my (dry!) Bambu-PLA-Basic filament I could even use ludicrous-mode for v2 and my prints did not have any stringing. print quality is - let's call it - OK. sports-mode is pretty good. I recommend normal mode but for the impatient ones (like me) → sports-mode does it also pretty good.

History:

EDIT 23.12.2023 10:58 Germany → v2:

this version fits tight into the bambu-spool and will not move! I also changed the thread preventing the “hairs” from v1 and use less overall material.

EDIT 23.12.2023 10:58 Germany → v1:

ATTENTION:

there are NO supports. the lid's thread will may have some thin filament hairs. gently screw the lid a few times on and off. the hairs will fall down and the lid will fasten more and more.
