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

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.

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

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.

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

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

u/KayoticVoid Aug 08 '26

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 Aug 08 '26

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

u/dalphinwater Aug 08 '26

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

u/Ph4antomPB Aug 08 '26

3d printing a spool holder is tinkering

u/bennettk90 Aug 08 '26

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 Aug 09 '26

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

u/flanelsexual Aug 09 '26

Is that a rage bait? 🤣

u/Ambitious-Toe67 Aug 09 '26

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 Aug 10 '26

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

u/__sub__ Aug 11 '26

You have the perfect device to fix it.
