After finishing your Bambu Lab filament spool, don’t throw it away — turn it into something useful!
This design lets you reuse the cardboard core from the spool to make a simple storage box — perfect for small tools, screws, bits, or 3D printing accessories.
How i made it:
🛠️ How to Make It
- Finish your filament spool — print until the roll is empty.
- Open the spool — carefully remove the two plastic halves.
- Take out the cardboard core in the center; this will become the body of your box.
- Print the provided STL files – one for the top lid and one for the bottom base.
- Push the parts together – no glue or screws needed!
The fit is tight and secure thanks to the precise 3D print tolerances.
Now you’ve got a clean, functional storage box made from recycled filament packaging!
🌍 Why It’s Useful
♻️ Reuses Bambu Lab spool cardboard
🧰 Turns waste into something practical

SKELE8 1/8-scale RC chassis, a modular, fully functional platform for serious hobbyists and small-scale commercial builders. Every aspect—from the adjustable suspension and steering dashboard to the functional drivetrain—has been engineered for realism, precision, and durability.
- All STL files for the chassis, adjustable suspension(air suspension like), steering, transmission, and dashboard are complete and tested.
- Printed prototypes have been fully assembled, demonstrating excellent tolerances, reliability, and mechanical performance.
- Videos of the assembly and functional demonstrations are available to show the chassis in action.
