Ultimate A1/A2L BMCU Spools Top Rail / Desk Mount
Print Profile(3)
Description
This is a custom mount for the BMCU on the Bambu Lab A1/A2L and up to 4 filament spools, designed to attach directly to the printer’s top rail.
The top rail clip is inspired by @Carnat’s model, while the rest of the design is entirely original, focused on better balance, rigidity, and ease of printing and assembly.
🔧 Features:
- Top rail clip – mounts securely with no screws or extra hardware
- Holds up to 4 spools
- Integrated BMCU mount with precise alignment
- Modular parts for easy printing even on smaller build plates
- Snap-fit joints and alignment pins for clean, easy assembly
- Glue recommended for extra rigidity (especially for the spool axle caps, which require glue to stay in place)
- Smooth, professional design with an embossed Bambu Lab logo
- !NEW PROFILE! Desk Support Base to place it on your desktop without mounting it on your A1/A2L
🧱 Assembly & Mounting Instructions:
- Print all parts (recommended layer height: 0.2 mm or finer).
- Assemble the upper section:
-
- The top part includes two hidden holes underneath for securing the BMCU using two M4 self-tapping screws.
- The top part includes two hidden holes underneath for securing the BMCU using two M4 self-tapping screws.
- Mount the upper section onto the central column using two additional M4 self-tapping screws inserted through the side holes.
- ⚠️ Do NOT glue this joint — it must stay detachable to allow access to the hidden screw holes under the top piece for BMCU removal or maintenance.
- Once the structure is secured, assemble the spool axles and glue the end caps (they won’t hold otherwise).
- Finally, clip the whole unit onto the A1/A2L top rail until it locks in place.
🧠 Recommended Add-ons:
For optimal balance and usability, it’s highly recommended to pair this mount with:
- A Low Friction Spool Holder like @TurboGlenn's Model
- A rear support such as @KrystoCraft’s AMS Lite A1 Top Mount Support
- A PTFE tube insert guide like @EngineerLab’s model
These additions improve printer stability and make filament loading much smoother.
💡 Keep your BMCU and up to 4 filament spools neatly organized, save desk space, and give your A1/A2L a clean, professional look with this modular top-mounted setup.
