Easily add labels to your Bambu Lab reusable spools, with a remaining filament estimator!

Compatible with Make My Sign for custom labels.

I absolutely love the Bambu Lab reusable spools, but you're either stuck with the original label, or have none at all.

I also like the indicator on their labels that gives you an estimate of how much filament is remaining.

So I designed this press-fit label holder for the spools!

FEATURES

• Indicator shows estimated remaining filament (200g, 400g, 600g, 800g)
• Coloured zone for under 200g (a reminder to order more filament!)
• Press-fit design snaps onto the spool
• Compatible with AMS
• Easily change labels for different materials

MAKE YOUR OWN LABEL

You can create your own labels in Make My Sign, as long as you use the following settings:

• Rectangle Base Plate, 1mm thick, 1mm corner radius, Hole: None
• 10mm Height
• 43mm Width

I used Roboto font for the included labels at size 36. If you have a 0.2mm nozzle, I'd recommend using a smaller font if you want to fit more text on the label.

MATERIAL CHOICE

When choosing the material to print in, consider the environment your spool may be in.

If you dry your materials, try to choose a filament that won't soften when your spool is in a dehydrator/heater.

• PLA is fine for PLA spools, and may be ok for PETG (not tested)
• PETG and ABS are better for higher temp filaments.

The example models used:

• Bambu Lab PLA Matte White
• Bambu Lab PLA Basic Red
• Bambu Lab PLA-CF

REMOVAL

If you want to remove the label holder for whatever reason, you can pop it off using a scraper. Wedge the blade underneath the holder and lift. If the pins break off, you can just push them through the holes in the spool using a small tool (e.g. hex key) and remove the debris.
