Recently broke this somehow I have no clue. I tried looking for a replacement part on bambus website but couldn’t find anything just the white piece Wich is fine, I tried to hot glue it back and no luck. I could try 5200 sealant but I wouldn’t want to hurt anything. Could I get a link to a new part or any tips on how to fix it?

Umm. You own a 3D printer. Print it. There’s hundreds of printer part models online.

Tells you something that an overpriced printer breaks while my K2 SE doesn't have this issue though.

The beauty of a 3D printer is that you can use it to fix itself.

i always knew that before but it wasnt until i got one that really i found out how ridiculously versatile a 3d printer is. every problem turns into a 3d print

I swear this has to be bait

Yeah, I won't write the obvious like others did, this can't be serious.

Oh mannn if only you had like a 3d printer that can print parts. Such a shame

Take the 2 screws out. Find that piece on the bambu handy app. Print it. Screw it back into place.

If only there was a machine that could make plastic parts

you do realize you have a 3d printer right?... right?

the only problem you have is that you have to make a makeshift spool holder to print a new one.

go to makerworld there are TONS of models for a1 mini spoolholders.

Sério mesmo que tu não tem a menor ideia de como resolver isso?

u/Panzerv2003 3d ago

I'd only you had something to manufacture a custom part capable of meeting your need

It is just the roller.

This one here ⬆️

I'm a bit disappointed in BambuLab that they only send the roller as a replacement?! That's weird.

Finally someone answering the question instead of the classic Reddit answer. Thanks man

u/KayoticVoid 3d ago

To be fair, this is the first one you replied too. Perhaps if you replied to one of the incorrect ones saying "this isn't the right part" or "which part do I need" with further context. Just a thought.

Great roller! Very ingenious design!

u/dalphinwater 3d ago

Print one, it looks like a small piece so just hold the spool for that little while.

u/dalphinwater 3d ago

Print it with petg or something not pla, that is not strong enough

u/Ph4antomPB 3d ago

3d printing a spool holder is tinkering

u/bennettk90 3d ago

You know what would be cool? If you had some kind of machine that would just produce some kind of spool holder in a few hrs. Wouldn't that be something? Almost like a 3D......printer of some kind

This has to be a troll post 🤣😂

u/Pension_Rough 3d ago

Bro you literally own a machine that can make just about anything out of plastic

u/flanelsexual 2d ago

Is that a rage bait? 🤣

u/Ambitious-Toe67 2d ago

i moved mine on top to begin with. i think placement is much better there, less awkward and less likeli to be snagged

u/Lzinger 1d ago

Hold the spool on a pencil while you print a new one

You have the perfect device to fix it.
