Description

This model is a spool adapter for the AD5X that retains the factory self-retracting spool function while allowing the use of larger or alternative spools. The design intentionally leverages an existing, proven rotary spool holder system rather than reinventing the mechanism.

 

 

This adapter is designed to work in combination with the following model:
https://makerworld.com/en/models/424607-alternative-rotary-spool-holder-for-ams-lite-liao#profileId-328034

My model acts as the interface that allows those parts to function correctly on the AD5X while preserving the automatic retraction behavior.

Required Parts (Must Be Printed Separately)

To function correctly, you must download and print parts from the linked model above.

You will need:

  • Orange parts: 2 sets
  • Green parts: 2 sets
  • Threaded bushings: 4 total

This quantity allows you to convert all spool positions on the AD5X.

Photos are included in this listing to clearly show which parts are required and how they interface with this adapter.
