Having an idea for a simple, parametric spool adapter, writing the code in #OpenSCAD, generating the 3MF file for the slicer, sending it to the #BambuLab #A1mini printer and having it printed.

The #A1mini is "just" a tool, unlike all the other #3Dprinter in my collection, going back to 2012. All printers before were projects (but also more open). Every printer a diva in its own way. But the #BambuLab JustPrints(tm), so I can focus on other things. That's truly a big change, allowing me to do things like this. Design, print, iterate. That's the way it should be, IMHO. I never thought a 3D printer could be boring and that that would be a good thing

Bambu built on top of all the open work the community. Iβm glad something easy to use exists, but I think the work of the community is a very important part of the story
You almost certainly donβt intend to come off that way, but it reads like it

@joshbressers I have been put many times in the "traitor" corner because I prefer pragmatism over fundamentalism. It's a risk I have to take. I know some people want me to put the whole history of RepRap, Marlin, Slic3r et al in every toot and explain every time again how the community made a lot of this possible. People that know me will have read my blog posts and other toots on that over the many years since I started with the eMaker Huxley kit back in 2012

@joshbressers And yes, the way Prusa reacted to Bambu Lab being sued for patent infringement by Stratasys (with an IMHO arrogant smirk and a "told you so" attitude) doesn't help. I try to stay out of these well-trodden infighting and flamewar paths.

@joshbressers And that's all I will say on that, as I hoped that my little thread could make more people feel good about 3D printing and giving it a try without too much hassle.

First two sets of the 54 to 32mm adapters printed and one set already glued to the spool that is now on the printer to print the first set of 63 to 32mm adapters for my PETG spool.

Uploaded the OpenSCAD file to MakerWorld so you can now customise the adapter yourself (when you have an account there). Just measure outerHole, (the hole in your spool) innerHole (the desired inner hole to put on your spool mount) and decide what height you want and you get the ready to print file. All sizes in mm (millimetre). Print two of them, glue them to your spool, done. https://makerworld.com/en/models/641351#profileId-567330

@jwildeboer Don't write such things like "just prints". I might be tempted to get one (and replace my Anycubic Mega S which is gathering dust due to a messed up hotbed) and that wouldn't make my significant other happy...

@random_musings let me soften it down. You need 20 minutes to unpack and prepare after receiving the box. And every print has some 5 minutes of calibrating and vibration testing. But after that is JustPrints(tm)
