May seem like a silly question, but what do you mean by "added modifiers to remove top and bottom layer"? and how did you do it? Also, does it make the spool flimsy? I read on one of the remixes that the spool was flimsy and they recommended ABS to stiffen it.

It is more "flexible", but not what I call flimsy - I was considering splitting the area in half again to add four more spokes to the next one. You can add or combine geometry in the slicer and Assemble it into one structure, you can select the part of the geometry you want to change and change it to a modifier - from there you can make changes to the modifier (like in my case the no top and bottom layers, but it could be colour too) and that will only affect the parts within that modifier.

I added extra spokes and it is pretty solid and slightly increased the infill percentage - I added/uploaded my print profile if you were interested in printing it.

I cant get any cardboard roll to fix on the Bambu spools

Note there's a notch in this overture spool and a notch on the bambu spool You mist align them and pull a little tail of filament through then twist slightly to lock it in. I used this once before I started using the DesignCraft rings which simply snap onto the overture cardboard spools...way faster...way easier...and no chance of the filament despooling trying to get it onto these.

do you have a lot of success with the rings on cardboard spools?

yeah, seeing how much was on the roll was my goal. Is that transparent PLA or PETG?

PLA

Transparent PLA

They look awesome!

They are!!

what is the purpose of these little pieces? it's not needed for the spool to work and I don't even see anywhere for it to go

When you lock the two halves of the bambu spools, there are three gaps in the center that these can go it. It helps prevent the spool from coming undone. I've had it happen once on a new spool/filament from Bambu, so I had to take it out and respool it to salvage the spool. It's more of a precaution for me.

thank you I did figure it out after I posted that comment. I originally tried sticking it in there when I first made it but didn't seem like it fit anywhere but once I revisited it, it did. operator error I guess haha

Glad it works for you. It has been brought to my attention that the transparent labels are hard to see. I’m currently away from home and won’t be back home until the end of May, so won’t be able to modify the profile so that the label area is solid for easier reading. I use my spools for Polymaker filament and I create my own labels using a label maker so my labels are solid. So I didn’t notice the issue with the labels. I also print my spools with ABS so if I need to dry my PLA the ABS can handle the filament dryer temps when drying. I’ve had no strength issues with ABS.

Thanks for the feedback man, and that's a great suggestion :))

Thanks ;)

looks good, I fluctuate between hex and gyroid :)
