Description

This adapter allows you to use a Bambu Lab refill spool or equivalent self printed spool with an overature cardboard spool. I typically use the rings on cardboard spools unless the cardboard is warped or damaged. With damaged cardboard spools, I will use the steps below to use the overature core on a Bambu Lab spool.

Adapter Core

Each spool requires one core adapter.

Remove one cardboard sides off of the original spool.
Place the spool on a sturdy surface with the open side facing up.
Insert the adapter into the center of the spool. Make the edge of the adapter flush with the edge of the cardboard core. The adapter has a slot to line up with the notch on the Bambu reusable spools. Make sure slotted side of the adapter is facing out
Separate the Bambu reusable spool into two parts.
Insert the Bambu spool section with notch onto the spool core so that the notch lines up with the slot on the adapter.
Holding the spool together firmly, flip over the spool so that the remaining cardboard side faces up.
Remove the remaining cardboard sides off of the spool.
Insert the remaining Bambu spool section onto the spool core.
Rotate the Bambu reusable spool sections until the two sections “click” together.

Designed from scratch with inspiration from Dustin Tebo's Protopasta Bambu Lab spool adapter.

The adapter (in teal) works ok but it a little fiddly to deal with. I prefer the spool rings over the adapter.

Well designed. Fit in the spool perfectly with only a little pressure. Enough to keep it in place, but not too much that it was difficult. Print settings worked well too.

Worked perfectly. Used a deburring tool on the printed adapter to remove elephants foot and also around overture cardboard inner spool to ease installation. Was a nice solid fit.

The adapter printed very nice and had a good snug fit. I have noticed that there are a few users that say the part was too big and other that state the part fit perfectly. I have also seen the opposite on other adapters. I have tried one that was too small. So it seems that Overture has two different cardboard spools and this model is for the larger insert. Thank you for the model.

@MarkAM59

That may be why it doesn't fit mine. I'm going to have to sand it down a bit, since I can't just print it smaller.

its doesnt fit my overture spool for some reason idk why

@deviousdesigns

Works great! Tried a few approaches to getting cardboard Overture spools working well in AMS and this has so far proved to be the BEST! Tight fit.. but that's a good thing. This is my go to solution with original/printed Bambu spools. 5 STARS!

@mauricekaiser88

also not work for me. Its too large. :(. Printed in Pla + on P1S
