Description
DISCLAIMER: Print profiles NOT created by DesignCraft may contain outdated model versions or suboptimal slicer settings. Use at your own risk! I have no control to moderate or remove these third party print profiles.
The Overture v2 print profile is the original print profile updated with a new model. It's a redesign based on user feedback and also uses about 40% less material. Please refer to the Disclaimer above and also please read the Considerations section below.
Description:
This adapter system wraps the edges of an OVERTURE 1kg 199x66mm cardboard spool in order to:
- provide smooth rotation within a Bambu Lab AMS
- prevent carboard debris from depositing within a Bambu Lab AMS
Features:
- Reusable
- OVERTURE nameplate for easy identification when reusing
Instructions:
- Print this model twice for a single spool
- Affix one spool ring adapter on each side of the OVERTURE spool
- See attached photos
Considerations:
- Print Material: Please print with a basic PLA or PETG to minimize any shrinkage.
- Too Tight? Too Loose? Cardboard expands with humidity and contracts when dried. A cardboard spool that has absorbed too much moisture may cause the adapters to fit very tight. Placing the spool in a filament dryer, such as the SUNLU S2, for a bit should resolve this. Note, you should not dry the spool with the adapters attached as they can warp in the heat. Keep in mind that after a long drying session the adapters may fit too loose. This should resolve itself shortly as the cardboard reabsorbs some moisture from the air.
- AMS Lid Doesn't Close? All of the spool adapters I make are less than the official AMS spool clearance limit of 202mm, as specified on the official AMS product page, and as tested within my own AMS. However, some people have stated their spools are rubbing against the lid with the adapters attached. It's hard to say what's causing this since I cannot reproduce the issue myself, however, I've created an AMS Lid Riser which allows you to keep your AMS lid closed while providing additional clearance for larger filament spools. It's a quick and easy print which you can find on my profile or directly here: https://makerworld.com/en/models/33133

I have tried a few of these rings for Overture cardboard spools with varying success. While I like the label, the ring didn't work well on this particular spool. This was printed with PLA Basic. The spool is a bit jumpy in the AMS. I will try a different spool.
EDIT: I think the tolerance on the Overture PLA Professional spools may be different or the spool is just wacked? The rings I have on a roll of Matte don't work either.

Hi and thank you for the feedback. Are you sure the adapter is fully attached? From your photo it looks like the left hand side of the cardboard edge is exposed. I get what you're saying about a bit of a wobble. I have about 10 brands of filament on cardboard spools and I feel this is just par for the course. The carboard spools I believe suffer from inconsistencies in the manufacturing process, bending from vacuum sealing and shipping, and also expansion and contraction based on humidity. Overall though I've been able to use them all in the AMS with the various adapters I've designed. If there's anything I can do to help further please let me know.

I just tried 2 new rolls of Overture and both are extremely tight to fit while the print interferes with the AMS and I’ve had to partially lift the lid otherwise the spool fails to feed (filament feeds but spool won’t rotate.) I think maybe the tolerances changed somewhere because these aren’t working on any of my Overture spools. Fwiw I’ve only had this specific printer for a week so I’m not sure if the change was to the AMS.

It was definitely the spool. I really don't like the cardboard spools in the AMS.
I used the spool to print a PastaMatic spool winder and transferred the filament onto a plastic spool. I thought that was only fitting. LOL
I will try the rings on a less damaged spool. Thanks for the support :)

I'm happy to hear they're working well for you! I recognize the pic from the All3DP article, "How to Make a Cardboard Spool Compatible with the AMS". Thank you for the reference!

Like most of the ones you've made, this one fits on well enough, no issues akin to the large Mika3D one so far.

I went back and reviewed your comment on the MIKA3D adapters and wanted to see if you've tried using a filament dryer on any of the cardboard spools. From my experience with creating all of these adapters the most effective solution to variances has been drying the spools which should normalize them a bit by removing moisture the cardboard has absorbed from the air. About 2 hours in my Sunlu S2 dryer does a good job. If I run a full 6 hour session the cardboard can contract to the point where the adapters fit a bit loose. I haven't noticed loose adapters causing any issues as of yet and if so the solution is to just let the spool sit out until the cardboard expands a bit again. I hope this helps!

I tried drying for that MIKA3D adapter situation, using a Sunlu dryer(not sure if it is S2 or not)... perhaps I need to catch it right as it finishes up, but when I ran it overnight on one of the problematic rolls it didn't make a difference sadly! Those fit around most of the spool edge and simply fail to get over at one point.
If there's any sort of DM system here, we could try and troubleshoot, but I assumed it was just a case of cardboard being cardboard/bad luck on those few rolls.

Thanks for the reply. An overnight drying session should work well. I usually run my dryer at 50 Celsius for PLA. There also may be some manufacturing variances with MIKA3D. I usually print the adapters in PLA / PLA+ but I've tested PETG also which can provide slightly more flex. I've had a few people also say TPU has worked great and I would imagine provides the additional stretch needed for those variances. I'm actually a big fan of TPU myself but try to stick to PLA with the adapters because it helps me provide the best fit for most people here. There are DMs on MakerWorld so feel free to drop me a message any time if you need help troubleshooting further.

Used the designers v2 profile one click printing from android app. Printed well as expected as it is a simple model. Hopefully it works as well as it prints. Waiting on my first rolls of PETG to arrive today so hopefully learning that material goes as smoothly as this print.

Update. They work perfectly. Took a while to get the petg printing well, may have slowed it all down too much by setting every speed to 50 but it is working flawlessly.

This worked out really well for our Overture to put in our AMS. Thanks for sharing!!!

I’d suggest printing these in PETG and not pla, one of mine got melted when there was a filament snag. I will say they were a perfect fit.

It's interesting about the melting thing, I hadn't thought about that. Was the rubber wheel damaged in the AMS?

thankfully no, not sure what ended up causing the defect. these were a perfect fit, just think they need to be printed in something a bit more resilient than PLA 😊

Great model to allow the use of overture filament with out having to respool it. a little hard to put on some reels, but functional none the less!

Hi, thank you for the make and rating! There is a new model with the print profile named Overture v2 that should be a bit easier to attach and also uses less material. Unfortunately I do not have control over the third party print profiles that get added here and the print profile you've chosen uses the v1 model. There are some comments I've added to the model description regarding this. This is a flaw IMO in the UX design of MakerWorld that unfortunately we have to deal with for the moment.
