Spider Spool (Bambu Lab Alternative Spool)

This is my Spider Spool! It’s a replacement for Bambu Lab spools of filament, and it has a spiderweb design because… I like Halloween. 

In any case, right now, for Bambu Lab’s basic filaments, a roll of filament with a spool is three USD more than a roll without. And given the fact that the official spool is quite literally just a piece of plastic, you’re not losing any functionality if you use this one instead!

May as well print it out and save yourself a few bucks each time you want to buy a new roll, y’know? I recommend printing the first few layers with the filament you want to spool on it, and then using a cheap filament to print the rest and save money (info on how to do that in the included spool changer link down below).

Just like a Bambu Lab spool, it comes with:

A notch to line up with the cardboard core to prevent slipping

Periodic holes around the edge to insert the filament tail to prevent tangling (with even more holes than the official one!)

An ovular flat spot to place the sticker that comes with refills

In order to attach it, follow the official instructions provided by Bambu Lab. The only difference is that instead of a twist lock mechanism, this one uses a simple screw. Also, there is a possibility that something happened at the site where the male end begins meshing with the female end, so you may need to clear the entry way for the screw if that is the case.

This is made specifically to fit Bambu Lab spools. I can’t guarantee whether or not it will work on filament refills from other brands.
