Description

Mount the spool on top of the A1 Mini Z-axis using only the original hardware from the printer. The PTFE mount allows for slight movement along with the print head.

1. Use the three screws to attach the main body to the top of the Z-axis.
2. Slide on the front cover and the original spool holder arm.
3. Insert the pins into the internal cap and set it in place on the main body. (Ensure the correct orientation.)
4. Attach the main cap using the longer screw to secure it.
5. Reattach the PTFE mount, positioning it on the back of the main body.

Excellent. I have made a minor adjustment to add a stop to the inside of the "PTFE Boom" so that the clip on the opposite side of the shaft can freely rotate 30° to accommodate the decreasing diameter of the filament wound on the spool due to consumption. The modification consists of: 1) A 1.8mm hole on the inner part of the "PTFE boom" for inserting a 2mm diameter screw to secure the stop. 2) A 6mm diameter hole on the "AM1 Spool Top Mount" angled to the right (invisible as it is hidden by the "Front Cover") to insert a small screwdriver. 3) Construction of the stop. I would like to include the STL file but I don't see the option, so I'm including a photo for better understanding, so that anyone who wants to can make it themselves

Thank you! I am working on another solution for this, but you could upload yours as a print profile if you like.

I printed this a while back as I was wanting to move the spool up and behind the printer to save on desk space. It printed good and while the spool arm does fit a little tight on the mounting plate it worked okay. As it turns out, I ended printing out another spool arm and kept the original white/gray spool arm where it was at on the side. After buying another PTFE adapter and Tube, I now have two spools that I can feed from. Not a AMS system by any means, but it's a little quicker manually changing colors now. Thanks for sharing this with us.

@frenchwizz

awesome! I wanted to hear good feedback about this before I tried it, and this is exactly what I want to do

This solved one of my biggest problems: too little space. In a 20" space, even an extra 2" regained can be a lot!

@3DPrintingGeek

what is that storage thing under the printer? is it on makerworld?

Printed with no problems, went together super fast and easy with just an Allen wrench and I needed a pair of pliers to push the 3 pins through. I used 2 drops of super glue in the outside post connector and that solves the loose issue. maybe if that were threaded or snap connector it would be a better fit. but 💯 happy with the design and function. thank you so much.

@user_3120406795

Just printed and assembled in less than 5 minutes . Parts are a little tight - i used rubber mallet (very light one) to help sliding them in place. 0.1mm less PLA here and there and it would be practically tool-less process (only Allen key). Great design that you do not need anything extra, no extra screws or other items.

@z3r0x_91

Hello, I made a modification to the support, now it is attached to the trunk and it is the ball joint that allows movement And thank you very much for your model I added it as a print profile
