Bambu X1/X1C Spool Extender - short bolt edition

Remix, now requires 4 bolts (M3 12mm) and 2 M3 nuts, instead of just 2 (M3 30mm) since I couldn't get any M3 30mm bolts.

Extends the spool holder out to allow for the AMS to stay plugged in while you use it. Can be used in conjunction with thrutheframe's improved spool holder:

Print settings

I used Bambu lab default 0.2 strength profile, PLA material. Should work with most other materials as well.

Required hardware:

  • 4pcs of M3 x 12mm screws.
  • 2pcs of M3 nuts.
  • (Optional) 4pcs of M3 washers (max 8.5 mm diameter).

What stayed the same:

  • Overall design
  • Has support ribs that fit around the AMS connector for added stability.

What I changed:

  • Added counterbore to second hole as well, so the spool holder can be used in default orientation or upside-down for thrutheframe's spool holder.
  • Thickness extended 5mm more, to leave enough material for a sturdy mount, after I cut notches in the side to be able to fasten the inner screws to the printer.

It was a little tricky to mount the spool holder to the extender, since it requires holding both the nut and turning the bolt, but it worked out.
I should have made a hexagonal indentation to keep the nut in place, but I forgot.
