UNIVERSAL SPOOL HOLDER FOR AMS lite

Having seen the pros and cons of my previous spool holder for AMS lite, and most similar holders on MakerWorld, I decided to create this new universal and definitive version

This holder perfectly fits most spools available, both plastic and cardboard, with an inner hole ranging from 40mm up to a maximum of 74mm

You will no longer need to remove the original holders or mount adapters that cantilever the spool and misalign it with the PTFE tube entry holes because this holder is compatible with any brand of spool, even original Bambulab spools, which are normally recognized by your AMS lite's RFID system

With this practical and lightweight system, you can load filaments with standard spools that have an inner hole up to 60mm, and if your spool has a larger diameter, you simply need to insert the two rings that will increase its diameter up to a maximum of 74 mm

Advantages of this model:

-Easy to print

-Compatible with both slots 1-3 and slots 2-4

-Lightweight, sturdy, and economical, as the complete set of one spool holder, two different caps with square and hexagonal attachments, and 2 reducer rings weighs just over 90g in total

-Fast to print. The entire set can be printed in just 3 hours

-Easy to use. Screw on the appropriate cap depending on whether you need to mount the holder on slots 1-3 or 2-4, simply slide out the original holder, and replace it with this one

At this point, simply insert the spool and screw on the other part until it is tightened against the spool (CAUTION! IT IS NOT NECESSARY TO TIGHTEN TOO HARD AS ONCE THE SPOOL IS LOCKED, THE HOLDER PERFORMS ITS JOB EXCELLENTLY)

If the diameter is larger than 60 mm, you simply need to insert the two reducer rings, and locking them in place is quick and very easy. Thanks to a practical slot attachment, you just need to rotate the ring slightly to secure it

If you encounter difficulties or have any doubts, do not hesitate to contact me before leaving a review. I will be happy to help you

UPDATE: Following feedback from some users, the spool holder has now been modified so that it can rotate freely with the spool while the cap remains firmly attached to the AMS lite.
