PrimaCreator 500g spool extender for 180mm spools for Bambu Lab X1 AMS

Community tested as I don't have the right spool and have designed this on request! “Scale to 99.95%” 

Medium-sized 500g spools do not fit on the Bambu Lab X1 AMS, because the spool itself is driven (wound/unwound) by rollers which engage the rim of the spool. The 500g spools have a diameter that is too small and the rollers won't touch the rim.

This model extends the 500g spool to a diameter which allows the AMS to work with it.

Print instructions

The attached 3MF files should be directly usable in Bambu Studio. However, apply a 99.95% scale to the model.

Print the spool adapter x2, the clips x6. 

Assembly

Place the spool between the helper nubs in the adapter. Then use cable ties to tie at least three holes of the spool adapter to the spool itself. 

Make sure any irregularities from printing are removed from the outer rim of the spool extender.

Usage

Place the extended spool in the AMS spool slot, in the center. Roll the spool back and forth to make sure the rolling goes smoothly. Then feed filament in the AMS and use as normal.
