I made this video for a buddy to see. I wanted to credit the original creator. Here is a link to the print and to his original video. www.printables... • Bambu Lab P1 / X1 / X1...
I decided to use disposable spools for filament and I still have tons of plastic spools I wanted to transfer the spools , this video came up just in time, thank you so much!
I see this being useful even if you don’t own a Bambu Labs! Stick a good filament welder in between and make spools of your own multi-color filament! Thanks for sharing!
This looks great! I was in the midst of designing my own but honestly this already looks great and I think I'll just use your design. Thanks for sharing!
i realy like this idea, would help solve alot of issues with tangled spools... but if i may, as noted by others the spool holder possibly have some sort of tapered cone (or stepped) for self centering. a belted stepper motor for the drive to be able to set and forget. (perhaps a filament runout at the head of the feed to signal the reeling completion) and lastly some sort of drag-brake on the feeding spool to allow for tensioning of the filament as it is transferred. i see you using your hand for this, but the finished spooling does show a good bit of slack in the finished spool, sort of defeats the point. i love your feed-pathing mechanism!
What is the behaviour of AMS unit if you let there that RDIF sticker? CAn you change the type of filament ? Or new filament will be seen as original on the spool ?
very slow consistent speed and a little assistance as it wraps. i've not tried for perfect winding and have zero issues so far. since posting this i've respooled over 50 spools without issues.
This was very satisfying to watch, and how long it took your to rewind that entire spool going at the speed and thinking aboout how long it takes a printer to use the whole spool at its speed haha so my understanding is your are taking the taller, Slimmer spool and respooling it onto a shorter, wider spool so that it fits in a material selector box?
@@ThatGuyPresley yes it doesn't spool perfectly. Only when i buy overture or hatachbox or name brand do i get perfect windings. Most i buy is budget filament so this is most of the time better when i buy a 4lb spool and put it on a small one to fit in my AMS
Why use the cardboard on the center of the empty spool? Is that a spool from Bambu Labs? Mine are all plastic, and I had to rewind them by hand and it's a pain. I will be downloading and printing this for future work.
Yes it is one of the kickstarter rolls that came with the unit. The plastic spool portion doesn't have a hole for the end of the filament so i had to reuse it.
@@fokkre I would drill a small hole for the filament in the spool if it didn't have a hole in it. If you don't have a drill, use a solder iron with a pointed tip to melt a small hole in it.
This is not my design. I have updated video description with link to creator project and his video. Also here is the files. www.printables.com/model/407688-bambu-lab-p1-x1-x1c-x1cc-filament-spool-switcher-w/comments
Hmm, I can't really see doing this between 2 1kg rolls. I can see doing this between one of the larger rolls and a 1kg or smaller rolls. It is very interesting though. I think it could probably use a DC motor and controller just because I am naturally lazy and don't want to spend a lot of time cranking that respooler like that. Great project though.
Just grab the simple spool clamp design off the bambu discord, chuck it in a drill, and clamp a spool holder in a vice for the roll you're despooling. I can rewrap a kg in like 2 minutes from opening the vacuum packaging.
This is overly complicated and way too slow. I just use a spool holder that I clamp in a vice for my roll to be despooled and the simple roll clamp that threads onto a piece of all thread, chuck it up in a drill and let it rip at full speed. You just have to angle the drill a little back and fourth to get the spool to wrap clean. Also, if you put a little bend on the end of the filament it's enough to hold it to the spool while you get the first couple wraps on. You were struggling pretty hard to get it into that hole in the cardboard, but the plastic spool doesn't have a corresponding hole to go through.

I'd have that shit hooked up to a drill in 30 seconds.
I'd have a broken re-spooler in 35 seconds.

This is perfect to pass time while watching your printer go brrrrrrr...😂😊
+ it's a good workout session

I just started printing the components for this. Lots of little parts but I'm excited to see it all come together.
This is amazing, honestly
I have to make one! Will make getting rid of knotted spools sop much easier!
I have no energy to print this but I need this. Such is the way
Wow that easy for tools too cool😎
love the leatherman :)
What is the behaviour of AMS unit if you let there that RDIF sticker? CAn you change the type of filament ? Or new filament will be seen as original on the spool ?
I am able to change the type of filament after it recognizes it.
@@fokkre than it is good cause you will have status of spool. I'm waiting for the bearings so hope they came today.
Just what I was looking for, this is fantastic
Did you print the parts with abs, play or pets?
😻😻😻😻😻😻
Silly question, why transfer the filament If the other was already ok?
The spool is to wide to fit in the AMS unit :)
How would you make it so the winding is perfect?
very slow consistent speed and a little assistance as it wraps. i've not tried for perfect winding and have zero issues so far. since posting this i've respooled over 50 spools without issues.
Interesting, seems to fall apart intermittently
If you abuse it with giant meat hooks like I have that can happen. If you use it like a normal person then i don't have issues. I'm impatient often
whats the purpose of the lower gears?
edit: oh, they move the cable, nice
Tried that too, but i use accu drill again because the winder is too slow
Great tool, even to refill with filament samples
Not too bad for respooling in just over six minutes
was there something wrong with the factory spool?
some factor spools are to large to fit in material selector and instead of a drill and dowel setup i had, this works perfect.
Change the spool mount to put cones through the center so it's self centering and avoids wobble.
Thanks for the idea.
@@fokkre I would recommend steps on it instead of a straight taper. I saw that recommended on a video about the Hypercube.

so my understanding is your are taking the taller, Slimmer spool and respooling it onto a shorter, wider spool so that it fits in a material selector box?
With my electric drill it takes only 60 secs to wind a whole spool
@@fokkre oh wow! But not as precise a spool
@@ThatGuyPresley yes it doesn't spool perfectly. Only when i buy overture or hatachbox or name brand do i get perfect windings. Most i buy is budget filament so this is most of the time better when i buy a 4lb spool and put it on a small one to fit in my AMS

maybe add more reduction to make it faster?
nice!
Nicely done 👍
I realy need this
Updated description with creator link and video if you want to download and print too
Can we get it for left handers?
If I remix the original design I may try to make it work for both.
@@fokkre Wow that would be great buddy theres plenty of us lefties around... please keep meposted if you decide to run with it...
The drill on the left: am i a joke to you ??
Yes Yes you are, I'm to trigger happy and i whip the spool to fast and make a mess. :P :)
This is awesome dude. Are you selling the STLs somewhere?

The reason I do it so the roll will fit in my AMS.
Just grab the simple spool clamp design off the bambu discord, chuck it in a drill, and clamp a spool holder in a vice for the roll you're despooling. I can rewrap a kg in like 2 minutes from opening the vacuum packaging.
May i ask why are you respooling it?
To have it fit in my AMS. The diameter on the other spool is to large.
Have you tried to use a drill yet? I have downloaded the files, but noticed that upgrades / mods are being posted often.
Yes I have, I've done it for 3 rolls of the 8 so far. I find i'm a little trigger happy and tend to spin it to fast from time to time.
@@fokkre Thanks for the answer. Looks like the hand crank worked well.
Does that RF sticker have to be on a certain side? 🤔
I only have the stickers that came on the kickstart rolls. I have a bunch of printed rolls i use most of the time.
So you printed only the side of the respooler?
You could of used a drill to sping it
maybe people can now see how it's impossible to tangle filament when spooling 😂😂😂😂
What is green mouse holder? Help pls to hind this?)) thanks you!
