Eco-Small Spool Adapter for ACE/AMS – Lightweight and Sustainable Solution - Elegoo spool

Finding a cost-effective, eco-friendly solution to the challenges of using small plastic filament spools with the Bambu Lab AMS/Anycubic Ace Prow system sparked the invention of this innovative adapter. Unlike alternatives that consume 100–300 grams of filament, this adapter is designed to use only 30 grams of filament and repurposes empty elegoo cardboard spools (or any spool with 3 holes in it), making it both economical and sustainable.

The design is intuitive and efficient, allowing you to transform used cardboard spools into adapters for smaller filament spools like those from Sunlu and similar brands. The simplicity of this system ensures reliability without the waste.

Features & Advantages

• Lightweight: Uses only 30 grams of filament.
• Eco-Friendly: Repurposes empty cardboard spools instead of discarding them.
• Cost-Effective: Reduces material waste compared to bulkier alternatives.
• Custom Fit: Legs accommodate the different dimensions of cardboard spool sides for a perfect fit.
• Easy to Assemble: Requires minimal effort and tools.

Assembly Instructions

1. Prepare the Cardboard Spool: Take an empty cardboard spool and carefully cut out the middle section.
2. Insert the Legs:
   • Identify the two printed legs (each designed for a specific side of the spool).
   • Place each leg into the inserts of the spool, matching the correct leg to the corresponding side.
3. Attach the Spool: Align the holes in the cardboard with the legs and press them into place for a secure hold.

Enjoy a simple, budget-friendly solution that reduces waste while enhancing the functionality of your AMS/ACE system!
